Hi @LawnSolutionsAU Can you help ID what type of grass this is and also any advice for regrowing the dead area? It died over summer as retic was leaking and didn’t realise for far too long…

Hi u/GTheo97, it looks like the main lawn type is buffalo, possibly with a bit of kikuyu there. As the bare area here is quite large, I would recommend getting a few rolls of buffalo turf to help patch up the lawn. Please have a look here for more information on how to do this - https://lawnsolutionsaustralia.com.au/lawn-care/how-to-patch-up-bare-areas-with-new-turf/
