Hi Evo and Sbtragic,

I'll have to say that this must a bit of a WA lawn as I haven't heard of it in SA.

Now since Evo has only had it laid around 8 weeks ago it really hasn't had time to mature and be manipulated at such a young age.

It seems like it is very much a couch style lawn as it's self rejuvenating and has runners that will invade outwards, thus I'd let it go for the season and let it fully establish before you start scalping an already struggling plant trying to get its roots going.

Next season I'd scalp it completely and top dress the low spots, but no more than 3 to 4cm in thickness at any one stage. If it requires more then wait until it has fully established itself in those localised areas.

This not a process that you can solve in 10 minutes, but if you did want to do this in a short time frame then I suggest that you remove the section and re-suface the base and then stitch a new section in just how they do it on AFL / Cricket Grounds like the WACCA or Subiaco (since you are in WA)

Cheers,
BB.
