Most lawn problems can be solved by the selection of the right grass seed, regular mowing, fertilisation, watering and scarifying. However, lawn renewal is sometimes the only remedy. And this is how:

Step 1 of 4: mow short

Mow the old lawn as short as possible. This weakens the old grass and improves the growing conditions for the new grass.

Step 2 of 4: scarifying

Scarify the short mown lawn several times in the longitudinal and transverse directions. After scarifying, the excess material must be thoroughly removed.

Step 3 of 4: prepare the soil and sow

Spread starting fertiliser and suitable grass seed evenly over the old lawn. Cover the seeded area with a thin layer of soil or peat and work in using a rake.

Step 4 of 4: watering

Because of the differing germination of the grasses in the seed mixture, water regularly within the first three to four weeks – preferably using a sprinkler system.
