I am on day 13 of a complete lawn renovation. I killed off the previous lawn along with all the weeds and have re seeded. Tomorrow will be the two week mark we haven’t had much rain if any in the last two weeks so I am watering the lawn multiple times a day. For people with more experience is this what you would expect? The two week stage? Can I hope that things will start to fill in?

Back garden on the house we've not long moved into. Originally I turned the soil, put a fresh layer on top then completely blitzed it in seed (I'm no pro, not even amateur)

Left it to grow over the summer and just gave it its first cut.

Gardens in a bad spot, barely gets direct sunlight due to position and trees overhead plus I found a lot of clay going on.

Is mother nature doing her thing or anything I can do?

Thanks

As the title suggest I thought my lawn was dead. Horrid summer in London. My lawn looked like hay a few weeks back.

Kept an eye on the weather and saw that there was going to be a few days of constant rain and that the temperature was going to be humid. Best to mow, aerate, scarify the lawn, overseed and put some topsoil down.

I’ve used Boston seeds and I would highly recommend. Germination took place less then a week and growth was fast.

The days that there were no rain I used a sprayer to water the lawn (I did this tree times a day). Early morning before 8, midday and evening. Moist soil and humid temp really helped growth.
