My First Garden (Video)

Hi there,

I moved into a new house recently and this is the first time in a long time, that i've had a garden, as I've been living in a apartment for the last 10+ years.

As you can see from the video (below) I think the back garden / grass might need to be re-done, as it seems very patchy and weedy.

I have a few questions which hopefully someone can help with.

QUESTIONS

01 - is there anything that can be done to rejuvenate the grass... i.e - sowing more seeds over it... or is it best that it is just dug up and with a view of growing fresh new grass?

02 - I was thinking of laying sleepers at the edge of the grass and raising the garden up so that it is level... the granite area will then feel like more of a snug pit... any ideas around this?

03 - As much as I don't like artificial grass, I was half thinking of placing an artificial putting green down. Does anyone here have one? are they pricey?

Thank you in advance for your help.

 

Welcome to the forum! I've contemplated doing artificial in a problem area but never followed through. It is not an easy project to DIY as far as what I have read.
