In reply to melba. We would recommend waiting at least 2-3 months to give your lawn's roots chance to settle in properly before using those types of products on it.

my new grass is 6-7 inches but has a lot of weeds. the grass was planted on May 4. When will it be safe to use weed & feed or a weed control for lawns?

Hi Josh,

I am trying to identify a grass which is in part of my lawn in patches as I am not sure if it considered to be a weed grass or a “normal” one.
I have a picture I can send but not a link to a website.
Would you be able to assist please if I sent you the picture?

Many thanks

Simon

Comment on Invasive Grasses In Lawns | How To Identify And Get Rid by Josh Thompson

Hi,

That’s a bit of a tricky one. We would recommend doing everything you can to help your lawn thrive, while making it difficult for the invasive grass. For example keeping it well-watered as we’re in summer, and cutting it a bit shorter. Also be sure to completely block off the fence if you can, so that the invasive grass isn’t immediately replaced by new growth when it eventually dies.

Thanks

Hello, I have an invasive grass that’s come from garden next door. It appears it come under the fence and the roots spread across the lawn and stands out being much taller and darker in colour. I have dug up an area and the roots spread just under the service and are very hard to get out as break easy when pulled. Any advice on how I should remove. Thanks

In reply to JUDY OWENSMITH.

Hi there,

Giving your lawn a feed with organic fertiliser would be a good idea to reduce the yellowing/sparseness. These types of issues can also occur from applying too much fertiliser though, so it’s important not to overdo it.

We’d also recommend checking your drainage. Given how much new turf needs watering, drainage issues can sometimes cause these types of problems on the grass. If the soil is quite compacted, aeration might be helpful.

Also, check that your mower blades are nice and sharp, to ensure the best possible cut.

If the issues persist, you might want to consider overseeding, to help the grass recover. Please see our guide on yellow grass/sparseness for more information: https://lawncarepro.co.uk/why-is-my-grass-turning-yellow/

Thanks

Hi! We laid approx 20 square metres of turf at the end of March. The surface had been prepared and fish/blood/bone applied. The turf was laid the morning after delivery. It was well watered-in. It has had 3 cuts so far; the first was a bit short in one stripe , but appeared to recover well. It certainly grows well! However, we have noticed that the grass is yellowing at ground level, i.e. from a distance it looks lovely and green, but when viewed from above the area directly above the soil appears yellow and quite sparse.
Do you think it needs feeding +/- more regular cutting?
Any help would be appreciated 🙂
