the back was riddled with weeds, like probably 75% weeds.

i have put out a load of feed and weed and killed most the weeds, but i havent a clue what the next step is?! there is a kind of moss growing on the top soil.

should i just dig it all up and plant fresh grass seeds?

thanks.

Hey,

Best thing to do is rake out the moss and aerate the lawn, ie stab it with a fork all over, this lets air in and kills off the rest of the moss.

After that, scatter grass seed all over and water well.
