We recently got rid of the terraced gravel in the garden and are now the owners of a sloped lawn, which has taken well and has been growing well. We agreed when we went for lawn that if dh got rid of the gravel, sorted the terracing and laid the lawn, I would mow it. I was fine with this as I was so desperate for a lawn for dd to play on (and for me to lie on with a good book). Anyway D day arrived and having bought a lawnmower, I mowed the lawn. It doesn't look good though :( In fact it loooks a bit patchy - some of it is longer than others and as the edges have a upright tiles rather than just lawn then flower bed, I couldn;t get right up to the edge and it's got a kind of frill around it. I tried to cut some of it with the kitchen scissors, but it looks awful (and took forever) so I'm going to get some shears - but is there a secret, better tool I should be using? Feel a bit of a failure in the mowing stakes to be honest. Lawn has been down for about a month and the grass was between 2 and 6 inches long - different in different areas.
Please advise me on what to do next!
