    Have a large-ish sized bay tree in the back garden but its been looking a bit worse for wear for a year or more now....totally covered in brown leaves bar a couple of green ones at the bottom

    Any ideas or suggestions to get it looking healthy again?

    Also can anyone recommend a good grass seed and when best to begin spreading it?

    Usually when a bay tree gets to that state (and it seems to me they frequently do) you will not have much luck reviving it. I have given up on Bay trees. Do you see any sign of new buds coming?

    Do you have any photograph? It sounds like cold damage. I've a bay that I bought a few years ago in a garden centre and it looks ragged like that. Then I've others that I grew from seeds that were collected from a healthy looking bush and they show no such damage.

    Is the bay tree in a pot?
    try moving to a sheltered area
    I had two out the front and never did anything (south facing)
    and leaves were dry and crisp and soil was always dry
    Out the back they are now and they have sprung to life
