Planning to lay a lawn
« on: August 28, 2009, 06:11:56 AM »
But turf or seed?

Any ideas out there?

We have cleared the garden of a lot of rubbish that was masquerading as a crazy paving patio and have decided that grass would be a good option. Yes I know it will need cutting but it is a smallish area and SWWLTBO feels that a lawn, however small, will enhance the saleability of the property when the time comes as it will look more like a garden than a "back yard" (sneered as only she can sneer such an expression).

Madam favours seeding a new lawn as this would be economic but I feel that turf will provide instant gratification of her desires and not end up in some f*cking bird's stomach.

Any recent experiences to relate?
