Re: Help repair my lawnLandscape & Garden Design

Jun 28, 2019 10:46 am

Yep have black beetle grubs can't believe it. Sprayed beetle spray all over, then cut out all dead patches and laid new turf down. Also got myself Scott's lawn grub fertiliser. Hope that does the trick. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190628/be26cbd529dc239017847b98f09b92cc.jpg https://uploads.ta...

Oct 08, 2015 5:43 am

Had a professional come out apparently dosent need etching cos it's not bare concrete just needs a good clean with a pressure cleaner and a paint over.

Stencil driveway can I paint over?Paving & Concreting

Oct 05, 2015 3:12 pm

Just moved into a 8 year old home which has a stenciled driveway. It's looking run down and flaking. I want to bring it back to life can I etch it and paint straight over with Nutec concrete paint? http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/10/04/840050c12b3d5539b7ee1b0131dea956.jpg

What type of lawn is this?Landscape & Garden Design

Sep 26, 2015 10:43 am

Ok so I just moved into a newish home about 7 years old and the back garden has a large strip of area that has no lawn. I want to buy ready made turf but it's important to buy the same type of lawn the remaining of my yard has so that it matches. Does anyone know what type of lawn this is in the pho...

My turf looks dead, help!Landscape & Garden Design

Aug 02, 2015 10:42 am

I laid Maliee Kikuyu in December and it looked magnificent, dark green at the time. It continued to look fantastic for months with regular watering. As soon as Winter hit (I am in Australia) the turf started to become yellow and looks dead. Winter mornings are hitting 2-8 degrees. Looking at the pic...

You are probably right as you can only see the patchy part near the window. But why did the other room come out perfect same paint same tray same roller same rolling pattern. only difference no heater vent. When I did the 3rd and 4th coats I put heaps of paint on the roller to try to cover it up but...

I don't know the brand but was told by my hardware store that the one I am using is one of the best. It's not lambs wool but does feel fluffy. I don't believe it's the roller as the other room I did which doesn't have a heater vent in it came out perfect. Will give it a light sand on the weekend and...

Yes it does feel rougher but the paint previously before I painted was perfect. After talking to my local hardware store they reckon this has happened because I had the heater on whilst painting hence the paint drying to quickly. If you look at the picture that patchy area is next to the heater vent...

I painted 2 ceilings first the bathroom which came out perfect, the second the lounge room but for some reason the lounge came out chalky in one area where the light comes in the window. I used Taubmans easy coat for both rooms and a decent brand roller. I have done 4 coats now in the lounge thinkin...
