Lawn Renovations and Repairs

Lawns can often need repairing due to unforeseen accidental damage, vandalism, or overuse.

Where a lawn has been neglected or a lawn taken over from a previous occupant and is in need of major works then larger scale renovation activities will be needed.

Lawn repairs can be considered as being fixing damaged edges, relevelling a small sunken area, patch turfing an area, overseeding a thin or bare (especially localised) area, weeding part of a lawn – especially hand weeding large broad-leaved weeds and then top-dressing and seeding afterwards, or similar.

Renovation by contrast, is usually on a larger scale and will involve the whole or major part of a lawn, with spring and autumn renovation being a part of routine annual lawn maintenance, with addressing a mossy, thatch dominated, thin or worn surface all being considered as part of renovation works.

There will clearly be an overlap where some works are considered too large to be a repair, yet not large enough to be classed as renovation and so could in fact be either.
