We had lads like that @JennyJ , after a while their aim got really good. They'd have done well in the England cricket team . @Aich With regard to the lawn, the soil underneath looks okay from what l can see of that section, and the general look seems okay. The turves look pretty thick,and seem to have been laid okay as far as l can tell from the photos. If the stones weren't carried in on boots or tyres, short of blaming the neighbour or passing kids, l am stumped. You mentioned that you have a camera, is it set up to pick up any movement from his side of the fence ? Obviously you have to be careful as it should only cover your property, but it should be able to pick up a load of stones flying into the garden if the light is good enough.
Our camera only detects movements near the back door so not flying stones. We don’t have any children near us, only retired.
we think the stones may have already been embedded in the turf, if you all think they are too large to come from underneath. Or, the retired neighbours being an arse with handfuls of stones. We will never know.
The yellowing on your turf is normally due to lack of light when the turf is stacked up. Really, the turf that is yellowing should not have been laid and replaced with uneffected turf. However, water it so the turf doesn’t go dry and the yellowing with good sun light should improve
The soil below the turf looks fine. If there aren't many stones - and it doesn't look like it from your photos - I don't think I'd be too worried. Brush them off, and keep the grass well watered until it gets established and starts growing away. Be sure to soak throughly for a good spell each time, not just a light sprinkling for ten minutes. Steve is right in that yellowing turf shouldn't be used, but I'd expect that it's not easy at this time of year to have turf which is as good quality as it would be later in the year. It should pick up in a month or so
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
