Fixing compacted or uneven lawns can be a challenge, depending on the extent of the problem. However, through a careful programme of management, we can improve the condition of the soil and ground.

The solution to fixing a lawn that won’t grow can range from simply fertilising it to removing the old lawn and replacing it with a freshly sown lawn, ready lawn, or hydro-seeding.

Your lawn could be full of weeds for several reasons. Most common is seeding by the wind but also weed seeds can be walked in on shoes or dropped by birds.

Your lawn could be brown even though you water it, because you might not be watering it enough. It could also be because of fungal growth or grass grubs.

The first thing to do if your lawn is muddy or waterlogged is not to water it. We will need to come and see the lawn to work out why it’s not draining properly.
