Resurrection is probably too strong a word for it, but I honestly thought that my lawn would struggle to recover from the rough treatment it has had lately. The fencing constructors had to work in terrible rainy conditions and the lawn got trampled into a muddy state. Later, other workers unwittingly put something down on the grass which scorched it somehow. The grass has survived all this and is almost back to its best.

| Lawn revival - 25 June 2017 |
Regular mowing (once or twice a week) makes the grass dense as, when you cut it often, it stimulates the formation of new shoots. When the workmen had finished stomping around on my once beautiful lawn (see images below), I threw down a packet of lawn seed among what grass was left.
When the grass started to grow and revive there were only two tiny weeds which I dug out with a thin-bladed knife. I sprayed all purpose Miracle-Gro evenly on the lawn, spraying enough to take the blue liquid down to the roots. As you can see in the top photograph, the lawn is once again lush and green.
Below are photos taken of the state of the lawn resulting from work in the garden. I was almost heart broken. I never though I could bring the lawn back, but grass is more resilient than you and I might think..jpg) |

| Lawn disaster, March 2017, after the fencing was replaced. |
Once the shadow-box fence was erected, then the fun began as I had a custom-built
garden room installed and a new custom-built shed.
