They ruin it by running about on it. The soil isn’t very good with the drainage so get a few bare patches all over when they’ve been kicking the ball about

That damage was done in about 10mins.no kidding. They are capable of more destruction in a short time frame than a Grenade

I run it without the box then use a lawn rake to scrape it into big piles. Filled about 4 skip bags last year just on one section of the back lawn.
Just about decided to dig up the bit out the one side of the front as it’s always been crap as the builders just hoyed the turf over all their pile of rubble and now the badgers are very regular visitors, it’s permanently chewed up. Thinking of going for a mini Japanese garden with cherry & acers in planters and a funky bit of gravelling.

March is the start of the lawn care year but still too early for many spring jobs. Find out how to prepare your grass for spring.
Some idiot arsehole is out cutting his lawn now, probably be able to see his knuckles tearing his skin such is the force he is using to get that lawn as low as he can. In February. After a frost.

Just finished giving mine the first cut of the year, on the highest setting, so that I have just clipped the top of the grass.

done my front lawn this afternoon, leaving the back one for a few weeks as the sun doesn't get to it this time of year

I’ve been tidying the borders up but haven’t touched the lawn yet, did a lot of work on it last year and it’s looking canny to say we are coming out of winter.

ran over mine yesterday on the highest setting, picked up half the basket of which most was leaves. The ground is still pretty soft under foot. Hopefully these dry conditions should help it abit. It will need overseeding but I think it's too early for that. I picked up some weed and feed the other day, not sure whether to do that before or after seeding.
Too early for all of that.

I covered half my lawn in Yellow Rattle seeds last autumn. Hopefully with them being parasitic on grass I might have the beginning of a wild meadow. Haway the biodiversity.
The shed roof I covered in sedums but some species are smothering others so I'll have to thin them out.

I've got wild flower borders out the front, but the grass has taken hold and I'm worried it'll choke the flowers.
Would some yellow rattle help?
