Hi Everyone,
I'm in the process of having my garden made over, at the moment I have
two
adjascent lawns one of which is about 12" higher than the other. The
gardener is
removing and returfing the higher one, but he is not
removing the grass from the
lower lawn just returfing over it. Is this
the usual practise, I thought old
grass had to be removed because it is
covered moss and other weeds.
I hope someone can help me with this matter

I'm not entirely sure but I think thats what might be needed to be
done to even them out.

Although I am not a gardener, I agree with what you are thinking; the
old grass should be removed.
