Hi @Benjie91,

I'd agree with @Jason that your lawn is looking quite healthy. I suspect it's still just emerging out of dormancy and will begin to green up now that the weather is warming. If you've fertilised, it has all it needs, and I'm sure you'll see some significant growth and a lush green lawn shortly.

Honestly, just give it some more time @Benjie91 . It sounds like you've done the correct steps getting it to this stage, and as @MitchellMc said, it's probably still in its dormancy, just don't cut it too low when it's time to mow, I usually set my mower 2 settings higher when my new lawn gets to the stage you're at.

Thanks, I will cut it higher from now on!

Please keep us updated on the health of your lawn. If you still don't see any changes in several months please don't hesitate to let us know.

 lawn has improved since mowing it higher,thankyou

Looking good, @Benjie91! Once it greens up entirely, you'll likely be able to drop down another height level if you'd like it a bit shorter. However, you never want to cut it so short that you expose the underlying brown stalks of the grass.
