What about fertiliser and coring etc?
My back lawn has always been great but the front ones struggle. Though I know I don’t fertilise as often as I should
exact same problem benny
my problem on the front lawn is there are three big trees drawing all the moisture from the turf and the ground is very compacted. I have almost given up on it. I think it is too far gone to recover.
I water once a week until there is surface water on show, usually about 45-60 minutes. A good deep soak.
I, fortunately, haven't had to core as both lawns have good drainage and remain pretty good year round. I soak a couple of handfuls of dynamic lifter in a big bucket and when I've watered I spread this around. Every couple of months I use a Seasol watering pack.
If you've got trees taking the moisture then they're a big problem.

If you want to go quickly, go alone.
If you want to go far, go together.
