This will mean keeping the children off it for several weeks to give it a chance to get established, then in the autumn we will lift all the matting and re-sow the grass under the matting. While the area is roped off we plan to take the children on more regular trips out of the centre and make more use of the front garden.

Grass - third time lucky!
Last spring we put in new ready rolled grass to try and fix the bare patches and boggy corner. In the autumn it was lifted and relaid because it had sunk so instead of the one boggy corner we had a lake straight out from the deck. Unfortunately the grass has not grown and is looking a very sorry sight - far worse than when we started. The plan now is to lift the matting nearest the edge of the grass and get the levels right, put a machine over the grass to break it up, add some sand for drainage and re-sow with seed. James will be starting on it this Friday afternoon then working with Bill Hart on Saturday to get it all done - so, if you have an hour to spare or a wheelbarrow to loan this would be gratefully received.

You may want to look at getting drainage put into in the area, also look at does any thing like a downpipe drain into it, and whether you have any leaky pipes, under there.
Good Luck.
We have a wheel barrow if you need to borrow it
Thank-you Gemma
