Hi,
I moved into my house last september and over the winter the lawn was a soggy mess. The drainage seems to be inadequate. As a result, the lawn now is patchy and even with moss-killer and extra seeding, it's not getting better.
I'd like to re-do the lawn but I'm wondering if it's too late to do it now.
I would need to rotavate the lawn and add some peat/compost mix to the soil and re-seed as well as laying some drainage pipes for next winter.
Am I mad in thinking that I should do it now....am I too late to do it this year ?
If I do go ahead with it, what kinds of grass seed should I use for an urban lawn with quite a bit of shade?
How long would it take to become useable and should I stay off it completely while it's growing ?
Thanks,
PK.
