    Hi All, Having a week off, doing jobs 'around' the house, I think I have found the ideal method of growing a strong healthly lawn. Concrete the area you want as a lawn spend an age getting it perfectly flat, then drop or otherwise cause a crack to the surface, wait six to nine months and you will have a thick luscious lawn! :mad: Glenn

      Sounds like my patio, which is made up of simple pavers. I have weeds, small maple and pine trees, and couple invasive species growing up between the pavers. It's a PITA to clean up several times a year.

        I put hardy backer boards under my pavers. This lets you power wash the cracks without undermining the dirt

          I thought spraying green paint on the lawn is the best way to make it healthy, just kidding, I have been seeing a lot of people doing that on their lawn.

            Yeah, if I ever feel energetic I'll take up the pavers and do something like that.

              Not a bad idea, if I ever decide to it again I'll give it a go!

                After the paver installation … clean it out and caulk the seams… ??? Seems like there could be repercussions that I am not foreseeing

                  Living in New Orleans, grass, and weeds (not the smoking kind) grow incredibly thick and fast. You have to hack them back in self-defense. When I lived in Charlotte NC, folks had an extremely difficult time to get their lawns to grow at all. Not exaggerating too much. I would do the concrete painted green thing, but SWMBO won't hear of it. :sigh:

                      very good idea. I am using thick layers of sand and gravel, but hardy board is better. just like stone.
