First Spring Project started

Hard seating grass from Wilko’s which I believe is ryegrass. It isn’t in the best of conditions as the hedge has shaded it and it’s grown some moss but that might be due to the use of cheap topsoil and cheap song the existing soil that was there and wasn’t screened.

Its been double figure temps here for the last few days, so hoping it all starts to pick up soon and grow a bit quicker.......also garden centres can open in wales from today, so i can start planning new plants and were they will go.

Well done - please keep adding photos, I am interested to see how it comes on.
I am hoping to do something similar. We have a nasty concrete path that I want to remove and turn into lawn. Got a lad I used to teach coming round tomorrow to give me a quote for the back breaking bit!
