I am currently digging out the front borders and laying some lawn edging, would it be worth me putting down some bark mulch, I plan to dig all the existing life from the borders with a view to plant bedding plants next year.
Lol, I mowed it Friday evening, Just taking the very top off, I was anxious about it, but done it anyway, I also mixed the last of my seed with some lose topsoil and spread it over the bare patches, I will add no more seed until spring now, I must say it is looking good.
Thanks guys, Buddyboy has been really patient with me from the beginning, I am now looking forward to next year when I can achieve the other bits I wanted to do, I never thought I would say this but I think I may have the bug.

Just bumping this up for a new poster looking to create a new lawn
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

On A side note, how often should I mow it at this early stage?
Should I allow the clippings to return to the lawn or collect them in the lawnmower box?
My mower will cut at 20, 40, and 60mm
Many thanks buddyboy. The support I have had on this forum has kept me going.
That is a real triumph Mr Toast
How lovely to have done all that for your family

Lawn is looking fabulous Mr Toast. Patience is a virtue (not that us gardeners have very much of it!).
