New laid turf very patchy
I had a new turf laid in September 2024 and did not cut the grass till November The grass was about a foot in height I hired a gardener to cut the grass first with the trimmer and then with the lawnmower Since then the turf has gone very patchy it looks as if at the patches the grass has been pressed and there is no sign of the grass growing there What is wrong with it? Can it be put right so that it looks like a nice neat proper lawn? Please advise what has to be done and how much will it cost? Thanking you in advance

How do I make my current fence more private?
I currently have concrete fencing and we recently took lots of trees down from an old pond. This now has created privacy issues. Is there anything that can be done to make the current fence taller on a low budget? I don’t want to replace the fence just as it’s a solid concrete fence.
