Grass behaving oddly?
 

We have recently rearranged the front garden and made the grassed
area a little larger, the patch was seeded and has grown fairly
successfully, but the grass is growwing stronger and quicker where
it meets the new paving.

Why should it grow faster in one spot than in another?

Is it possibly getting water runoff from the paving?

Grass likes lime - look at an old tennis court, you can see the lines
for years afterwards.

It's only a very narrow bit of paving, just a foot wide, and we haven't had
any real rain for a while.
