Part of the reason I want to do this is due to the fact that I have two small boys who want to play out there. I live in Hobart and have two Labradors as well as the two boys. So I am looking for any advice I can be given in relation to oversowing such as what kind of type of grass should I use? Is there any particular brand I should look at using? Here are some photos of the lawn. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Thanks in advance.
