As I’m starting to find…. I’m in a new build the lawn It’s full of stones! I moved into the house 6 months ago but soon after moving in I suffered Sepsis losing all my toes then a stroke for just for good measure. I love my gardening and this was my last move in my life and I’m started with a square lawn and that’s it. I’ve sat down on the lawn digging up a border and planted so many things. Everything’s come out lovely in Spring. Now I’m starting the right hand side again with a little spade lol I’m determined not to let the garden be awful and so far I love it although I’m doing it sitting down and using my one good arm but I’m doing it. I had my heart set on a little green house but I have no family and no friends here! I’m from Doncaster originally and my Son lives in Sprotbrough,,, and now I’m living in Worksop Not too far away … you sound as local as they come? Anywhere near Doncaster by any chance? I’m watching your videos intently cos you offset some great advice and share a lot of knowledge on the subject I wish I could afford your help but things all went pear shaped and I lost my car, job, everything cos of my useless health problems. Keep up your good work I have subscribed to your channel!

Hi all companies charge differently but for reference it was around half days work so it depends on material cost plus what company wants to earn.

Hi as with any herbicide you are best waiting till it's no longer in the ground residually. here in the Uk this period is typically at least 4 to 6 weeks... BUT if you were doing a "total kill" with Roundup for example you could reduce the time of waiting to 2 to 3 weeks Remember that frog grass typically doesn't really do well if it is in shade AND has a lot of heavy foot traffic (jjust something to bear in mind)

How many grass seeds and compost you used on this size lawn?

Hi I honestly dont count the seeds.. I just use a bulk bag and put on what's needed. As for compost it was between 4 and 6 I think.. 40 litre bags

Great video interesting to know what compost/top dressing you use in bag form ??
