kill off existing lawns

Question

how do i quickly kill off my lawn to relay a new one

Mark · Accepted Answer

Personally I wouldn’t try to kill it, I’d just use a turf cutter and remove it, then put down top soil and returf.

Hope this helps

Matt · Answer

Best advice I would give is just to take up the old lawn before laying new. Grass is hard to kill and guaranteed there will be some that survives and will just grow through the new turf, which if the existing grass isn’t much good would spoil a new lawn

Personally I wouldn’t kill off the old lawn if you are re-turfing due to contaminating the soil, quickest way is use a turf cutting machine you can hire them on a day rate.
