Lawn verge - from bare earth to lush in 4 years

[IDIG]

Lawn now 4 years from bare earth , used kikuyu cuttings from side of road , built up soil with potting soil , gypsum & local council contribution with top dressing to level up . I try to mow once a week all year round with EGO Electric mower , blower & whipper sniper , I cut without using grass catcher then good long deep watering once a week in summer , very happy with the result & get many compliments from the neighbours

Thanks so much for sharing your lovely lawn @IDIG. It's looking super healthy.

Do you happen to have any before photos? Do you have a fertilisation routine you could share with our members? I'm sure they'll all be interested to know.

Well done.

@IDIG  Sensational lawn !!! I love the flowering annuals around the tree as well.

Usually fertilise autumn & late spring , good quality products mix with 25 kg bag of gypsum to make spreading more even,  lawn specialist say an autumn fertiliser sets up for early spring when soil warms up  . See pics original verge was just untouched compact , but with lot of effort with potting soil , gypsum & lots of fertiliser & water ,got good result in the end with good cutting regime

That's a tremendous transformation @IDIG. The soil you started with looks horrendous.
