Gaps between turf pieces
Hi again folks.
Well my new lawn, laid by the builders a few weeks ago, is doing ok and now needs its first light mowing. I've taken care of it, watering, etc. However, it was not particularly well done - a bit lumpy - and there are gaps between some of the pieces, which I don't think will fill spontaneously over time. What's the best thing to do about these? Fill with compost, tamped down well and seeded? Thanks.. Barb |

What's the best thing to do about these? Fill with compost, tamped down well and seeded? How big are these gaps? A 50:50 mix of topsoil and sharp sand ought to be OK for filling in small gaps. And unless the gaps are really huge grass will spread to cover any gaps pretty quickly once it gets going. Chances are you be able to see the lines of whatever new grass seed you introduce to the bare patch unless you very carefully match it to the turf type originally used. I have a visible patch of "new" grass that is slightly nicer green and better texture than the main lawn where a pear tree used to stand. It is still obviously other grass five years later!
