This client challenged us to create 900m2 of new lawn on this newly renovated forest lodge. To save on cost we decided to seed the whole site using two different variety of lawn seed. One being premium lawn grass seed and a shade tolerant grass seed supplied by Boston seeds. We excavated the top soil and levelled off enough of the slope to the natural gradient that a mower would glide through the lawn without any issue. The worn out topsoil excavated was mounded around the perimeter and will be planted with scented plants and wildflowers to slow down the invasion of local deer that constantly put hoof prints each morning throughout while trying to create this garden. The biggest challenge we faced was the limited water pressure being in the middle of the new forest and the middle of a mini heat wave. We had the hose trickling constantly all day into a chain of water butts we then used a pump with efficient enough pressure to get the sprinklers to water the seed to help with germination. We also installed new gravel paths, picket style fencing and hardwood gates and posts.
