About 4 year or so ago we had a landscape gardener out who put up a new fence, some paving, and re-turfed the lawn.
Last year I noticed yellow patches so I put some some grass seed and some lawn feed, I think however I may have applied too much lawn feed as it seemed to leave more dead patches of grass. I tried to care for it over last summer and things seemed to have improved loads by the end of the summer.
The main problems we have;
- The shaded side of our lawn seems to grow at a reasonable rate, but the rest of the lawn doesn't seem to grow, it always seems to remain the same height all the time.
- The none shaded areas of the lawn are more yellow/dead grass compared to the shaded areas.
- Shaded areas of the lawn, the soil always seems more damp (understandable as it's in the shade), but in this area the grass seems more bare, by that I mean you can see more soil between the grass.
I've performed the first cut of the year today, and as it's still early in the year I thought now would be a good start to looking after it ready for the summer (maybe).
Here's a picture of the lawn at the minute.
