September is the best time to sow a new lawn or
lay turf, but it pays to prepare the area now. To beat perennial weeds, spray with a weedkiller containing glyphosate (always read the label first and follow instructions).
Once the turf has been removed, work over the soil to a depth of 9 inches with a fork and spade, removing weed roots and large stones, and incorporating compost or composted bark.
Rake and level the soil, walk over it to settle it, rake again and then leave it bare to allow weed seeds to germinate. These can be sprayed or hoed off ready for sowing or turfing next month.
