Restoring lawn cost?

[garycat]

Our tenants have moved out and left a patch of lawn that has had a 12' trampoline on it for about 18 months so now there is no grass just bare earth with lots of weeds.

Can anyone estimate how much it would cost to bring it back to health - I'm assuming it would need to be turfed rather than seeded.

Assuming you are going to do the work yourself.... 12ft x 12ft = 144 square ft area = 13.5m2 x £3 per m2 from local garden centre = £40.50p plus a bit of sand to go down underneath.

£45 and a bit of your time.

Or rake, seed and water for pennies.

just had a leaflet through the door - some company will do just that for £75 up to 100 sq metre.

^ That's for restoring/maintaining an existing lawn. The OP has a 12' bare patch, a rather diferent prospect!

This is the easiest way, and certainly the cheapest. I often have to re-seed parts of my lawn when the kids have destroyed it, just remember to water the patch regularly.

True, £2.50 for seed from a decent shop and 20 minutes with a rake. 6 weeks later good grass, as it were.
