I just don’t want to contact the landscaper, he just seems slightly intimidating, he’s a builder from my builder, who’s completed a full garden renovation to a high standard- turf laid down Monday. The turf is starting to turn yellow, I have watered it down with a hose pipe morning/ evening - can’t undertand why the yellow is coming through- compared to my neighbours grass, this turf looks yellow
Looking at the photo of the soil underneath the turf, then it looks ok as there are no obvious sighs are large stone. Did company who carried the Landscaping works do other works after the lawn was laid such as slabbing. If not, then the stone chippings on the surface are a bit of a mystery I would just remove them from the surface of the lawn but be careful as it’s is not advisable to walk on new turf. If you have a strong timber-board then lay that down first so you can walk on this to get to the stones
There’s no gravel in the garden, the drive is brick- we have pebble dashed back wall- although there’s not a single pebble on the patio so why on earth would there be pebbles scattered all over my grass.....really really really strange! Mind boggling!? Unless my neighbours malicious...come out at 3am, handful of pebbles over the fence onto my grass? I could only guess it’s due to the fact that we gave him the bad side of a fence (he argued with my builders that he wanted the good side of my fence) ..even though we paid a couple of thousands for the fence..do I am entitled to have the good side of MY fence... ?otherwise I can’t think how else they’ve appeared all over my new turf?
Hi Aich Your neighbour seems a bit unreasonable based on what you are sayiing and no doubt there must be some suspicion that he has done this. I would remind your neighbour that you have a small child and the stones chipping that are appearing on your new lawn could cause injury
One summer I kept finding a scatter of small white stones on my corner lawn, matching the stones of the new drive of a house on the other side of the road. It was a mystery until one day I spotted a couple of lads picking up loose stones that that had been carried onto the pavement by the car wheels and lobbing them across the road at the lamp-post. And mostly not hitting it.

I’m wondering whether the vehicle used to transport the turf and tools had previously been used to transport gravel for another customer’s driveway.
