Although we have had a lot of sunny weather recently, you may have problems with your lawn when it rains. 

Thankfully, it's possible to do something about your muddy lawn. Here's how you can transform it into a picture-perfect grassed area that everyone will love gazing at.

Fix Drainage Problems

Firstly, you should investigate whether there are any drainage issues at your home. For example, damaged guttering from your house could be causing water to pool at a specific point and result in the ground becoming permanently saturated with water.

Make sure you take some actionable steps to address any drainage issues and clear any guttering or wastewater blockages. Doing so will put an immediate stop to any water pooling on your lawn.

Check For Underground Water Leaks

Another check you should conduct relates to underground water pipes. Sadly, many properties still have old metal water pipes, and over the years, they may have corroded, causing pinhole leaks to turn into large ones that travel upward.

A telltale sign of such issues, apart from the obvious trickle of water appearing from under the soil, is excessive vegetation growth.

If you find that weeds always grow without fail in a particular area of your lawn, it could be that you have a leaking underground water supply pipe.

Break Up The Soil And Level It

Once you're sure there is no leaking water from your house or underground causing your lawn to become a muddy pool, the next stage is to mix up the earth and level the ground.

You can achieve that goal by using a rotavator - although some people also call it a tiller. It's a simple yet powerful device that digs into the ground and mixes the soil. You operate it in much the same way as a lawnmower.

Spread Some Grass Seed

Now that you've got a freshly rotavated and level ground, you should spread some high quality grass seed by Grass Seed Online. Grass seed should get distributed evenly, either by hand or using a mechanical device to create an even distribution.

You might not realise it, but there are several varieties of grass you can grow on your lawn, so it's worth taking the time to investigate which one is best for the look you're trying to achieve with your lawn.

Maintain Your New Lawn

Lastly, once your newly distributed grass seed starts growing in earnest during the spring and summer months, you should take great care of your lawn. That means removing any unsightly weeds that pop up and trimming the grass with your lawnmower.

Conclusion

Having a muddy front lawn or rear garden will blight an otherwise picturesque property. Luckily, it's possible to take a few simple steps and transform such an unsightly lawn into one that you'll admire for a long time!
