christian71 3,187 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Finally got all the nonsense with my mum's estate sorted, so I'm tarting up her house before I sell it. I can manage the inside, lick of paint etc but the garden is a mess and i have no idea where to begin. The entire lawn, front and back is knee deep with weeds and brambles. Can't see any grass through it at all. If I strim it all down, it will just be short weeds and no grass surely? Any ideas on how to make the lawns at least presentable? Ta. Is this a joke Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 From the picture the front garden might surprise you after a good going over with the strimmer and a few weeks of mowing. The back looks like it will need something like agent orange! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted May 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 If i just cut it as short as poss, hopefully I'll have the money in my bank before "the lawn" grows back and the new buyer sees it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mooch. 177 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Slash and burn. Give it time to start re growing then hit it with glyphosate. Another couple of weeks and you can start preparing to seed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
