Hi there,
I moved into my new-build in July 2018.
The lawn was in an awful state on the day I got my keys and had clearly not been looked after between my viewing the home and becoming the owner.
During the course of my time here, I have laid thousands and thousands of seeds, dug out some areas and filled with high quality pete and topsoil but still, the lawn is not growing in places. Wherever I dig, I am finding barely any soil just thick clay and flint.
The builders are finally taking some responsibility on this and have asked what I want them to do.
Can anyone suggest the best way forward with this. Not a lot I can do at this time of year other than put yet more seeds down.
I am wondering if I should get them back next year to pull it all up, get rid of some of the clay and put some decent soil and turf down, but not sure if this is the best way forward?
