Lawn care advise

[Koko]

Hi guys,

I am extremely fascinated by the look of a beautiful lawn (luscious green grass) and have always wished to have the same at my property. I have interited a not so good looking lawn (patches here and there) from previous property owner- now looking to improve lawn health/look. Located in West Auckland, lawn areas get good amount of sun.

Can you please give tips/advise of how to improve lawn care to achieve that luscious looking green lawn? Best type of lawn seed to plant?

Many Thanks!

There are so many aspects to a reasonably comprehensive answer.

Are the 'patches' you mention the lawn? Or where there is no lawn?

Do you know the soil pH? Have you had a soil test? (You may not need one.)

Can you water adequately? Is your water supply metered? (You may not care if you want a lush lawn strongly enough.)

Most good lawns are made into bad ones by the lawn mower cutting height being set too low.

I'll send you a PM. You may not be able to reply until you have ten posts. (I can never remember the actual number.)
