    We have just moved and the previous owner appears to have laid the lawn on top of gravel - is this ok or should we be worried?

    It was really really long until we mowed it a few days ago.

    it'll be well drained, just make sure you give it a feed in spring and it'll be fine

    These previous talkbacks are really out of date, especially references are made to time of year and weather conditions.  I have found the tip that if the conditions allow then lightly mow even through the winter. The mower must be in a good condition and the  grass must be dry or drying. Don't let it grow too long as it becomes more difficult to cut and you can damage the grass by scalping. My soil is heavy, heavy clay with yellow river clay beneath!  Naturally I have lots of moss but as I'm 76 I do have time to mow when conditions are right. Not everyone can do this. And I do run around and I have lots of lawns and endless edges!   Evelyn
