Durable lawn
Hi all
Until I bought my first house, my experence of gardening was to yank out the nettles from the stairs approaching my upper floor flat. Well all that has changed now as I have an 80ft plus garden which can (and does) accommodate many varieties of nettles and weeds. My problem is, I would like to designate a patch of my garden to provide a durable lawn for my young sons to play (say ...approx 95%) Now as it stands, the lawn is in a real state with many patches of weeds throughout plus it is very uneven with dips and mounds better suited to 4x4 adveture treks. Sadly, it seems I know as much about gardening as I do women therefore......I need advice......for the lawn bit at least. Would I be looking at killing off all my weeds and nettles with chemicals (which I'm concerned about with young kids around).....should I lift the lot and buy turf.......what about grass seeds??.........and what about leveling the garden off so that I have something of a flat surface. Another alternative could be to tarmac the whole lot and paint parking bays so my boys could have their own carpark to play in.....this would leave me to do what I do best......yank out the odd nettle as they emerge. I would appreciate any advice given.......or prices for tarmacing!! Yours sincerely James Moore |
