I have used some of the lawn thickener seeds/fertilisers from bunnings before and they seem to work a treat. I think if you can thicken up some actual grass once you have killed off some of the weeds it will be easier to keep them at bay. I have Scotts Feed and Weed killer to throw over it this weekend (10 days after the Paspalum has been used).. Very much looking forward to that.. Though not being able to mow it 2 days before and 2 days after means I won't have mowed it for 3 weeks.. I guess it's best to let it all settle down then mow over it. The weedy grass has pretty much died off, looking very yellow which is great news.. Though it looks like absolute b@lls now with it being yellow and the rest green. So my question is: Do I remove the dead weedy grass by hand now or let the grass take over? Re: Lawn Care Assistance/guidance 7Oct 02, 2014 9:38 am Hey Guys, Here is a link with the updated photos of what the grass looks like now.. Pretty average looking. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/u2xmsphmeo9g ... 4PRra?dl=0 As to: Should I pull out the dead crabgrass is still an outstanding question? Re: Lawn Care Assistance/guidance 8Oct 07, 2014 10:02 am Well over the weekend, I was a brave man and decided to spread some top soil.. After 2.5Ton, 2 days and something ridiculous in square meters, I finished, the accomplished feeling felt great. I also decided to remove all the crabgrass and fill the holes with the top soil sowed seed and watered the buggery out of it (but not so it puddled). I believe the grass is looking better in RL though time will tell how it goes. Also after 24 hours I through some Scotts feed and weed killer. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/edsxezje8qw5 ... 6632a?dl=0 Re: Lawn Care Assistance/guidance 9Oct 14, 2014 9:59 am Hey All, Just thought I'd update you all. It looks like some of the grass is coming through ok in the back yard. Though the front yard where I had all the crabgrass/weedy grass it looks like it's coming back in some areas? Was I meant to throw some pre-emergent herbicide over it before I sow seed over it or do I wait for the couch seeds to germinate then throw some more herbicide over the weedy grass? This is a completely frustrating exercise. Hi everyone, I'm very new to the housing market and would appreciate any guidance. I have found what I think is a good land and home package.
