    Hi all

    I’m 32 male from Berkshire, been doing some gardening and want to get some tips in future and show what I’ve done , few projects I’ve done

    1) regrouted patio and power washed
    2) I’ve Turfed up 27m square area of my lawn and it looks really good

    happy to show pics in time


    Am thinking about turfing up the rest of the lawn as it’s got weeds ,or another option was to just pull weeds out if I could and seed the lawn? What do you guys do in maintaining or improving your lawn?

    by the way I wanted my username to be strawberryjam

    sorry but I guess it can’t be changed now anyway

              Welcome Strawberryjam. :)

              With turf already laid, the grass in that turf will probably be different to any grass seed you lay so wouldn't match what is already there. Would that be a problem for you?
