Most people underestimate the amount of water needed to get a a lawn to green up, especially if the soil is light. If you can imagine how much water falls from the sky in a couple of hours of fairly steady rain. That's the sort of amount we're talking about. Anything less really isn't enough to make a difference, and light watering can do more harm than good, as the root system just stays near the surface, making it harder for grass to thrive in dry spells
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

Yeh I understand, the more I read about the more I understand I should have done my research before cricket bowling the evergreen over my grass by the handful. I’m hoping I can salavage most of it. Then I think this autumn I will oversees. Should I cover seed with top soil or just leave it exposed?
Instead of us writing loads of stuff I suggest you have a read of this info on lawn care and bookmark it so you can refer to it as needed. It covers mowing, edging, weed and moss treatments, re-seeding.........
