7 Stages of Lawn Renovation
The webinar detailed the following stages of a successful lawn renovation:

1. Preparation of Materials
Order the correct tools and materials in advance.
Identify lawn challenges (disease, moss, compaction, weeds, pests, dry spots, waterlogging, and shade issues).
Understand the role of fertilizers and bio-stimulants like potassium and seaweed meal.

2. Scarifying
Removes thatch, moss, and weak grasses to prepare the soil for new growth.
Use scarifying rakes for small areas or electric/petrol scarifiers for larger lawns.
Scarify in two directions for optimal coverage.
Collect and dispose of debris to maintain a clean surface.

3. Aerating
Essential for relieving compaction and improving soil oxygen levels.
Use hollow-tine aerators to remove soil plugs, creating planting pockets for seed and fertilizer.
Manual aeration is recommended for lawns with underground wiring (e.g., robotic mowers).

4. Fertilising
Apply a high-phosphorus pre-seed fertilizer to enhance root growth.
Spread evenly in two directions for balanced coverage.
Consider seaweed-based bio-stimulants for improved soil health.

5. Seeding
Choose the right seed mix (ryegrass for durability, fescue for fine lawns, bentgrass for premium aesthetics).
Spread seed evenly in two directions.
Use drag mats or brooms to improve seed-to-soil contact.

6. Top Dressing
Adds organic matter, improves seed contact, and helps level the lawn.
Use sand-soil mixes (e.g., 70/30) for drainage improvement.
Apply 2-6 kg per square meter based on lawn needs.

7. Aftercare
Water daily for the first week, then every other day.
Avoid mowing until new grass has two leaves; cut high initially.
Maintain a long-term feeding plan with granular fertilizers.
Prevent bird seed loss using covers or diversion feeding.
