New For Old Lawn Recycling

Most lawns, if cared for properly will look great and have a long and healthy life. But sometimes older lawns will start to show some wear and tear from foot traffic, pets, weeds, floods, drought or heat.
The usual process to replace your existing lawn is to remove some of the clay soil, replace it with topsoil and replant with a hardy seed or sod. But sometimes this is not the ideal solution, for example, if you have a landscaped garden and there is little room for earthmoving equipment that might damage yor existing flower beds, pathways etc Another issue is that this method is expensive and very time consuming. We’ve all heard of someone who tried to save a dollar by re-laying their own lawn... and the horror stories that go along with it.
