Looking to do a small reno on the current lawn as it's come out of winter in pretty poor shape. Not a complete do-over, as it's a rental and don't want to keep the kids off the grass for too many weeks I've already done a couple of "maintenance" steps. Treated quite a bit of clover and bindii patches that had sprung up. (which explains some of the yellowing patches) and found quite alot of moss along the back fence line (lack of drainage after the recent big rains and shade) and some in the front yard as well. I've already treated those areas with iron sulfate to kill off the moss. I also found that the soil itself was slightly too acidic so put down some lime... but realised this may have actually been better done after the aeration At the moment, I'm thinking along these lines - Thursday - scalp the lawn - Friday - aerate - Sunday - topdress with 80/20 topsoil and then overseed and fertilse - water, water and more water My only quandry is that the yards are a mix of kikuyu and qld blue couch. The front is pretty much a hodge-podge mix-up but in the back, it's pretty much kikuyu around the fence lines and couch in the "middle" of the lawn. So.... should I overseed with with a mix of the existing, should I just pick one type to overseed with or should I use both but keep them to the areas where that grass is already established (ie, kikuyu seed in the kiku area and couch in the couch area) Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ DIY, Home Maintenance & Repair We purchased a 1960s property that is on timber stumps mostly, and a newer section is on concrete stumps.
