Well the best job would be hire a mechanical scarifier. But if you doubt want to spend money borrow a metal rake/ scarifier and pull rake out all the dead thatch. There’s a few videos showing how on YouTube, you will never have a healthy lawn till you do.

In one word - No. Rake off the leaves and dead shit, aerate the soil by a serious afternoon on the fork (graipe) and sow the grass seed. Get a hardy seed, not them fluffy feathery lawn seeds. Roll them into the ground via a roller, wait for growth and then apply fertiliser.

Sound lads.
So much for that idea so
You should turn up a shovel worth of the soil to see what it’s like, say 8" deep. If it’s in an estate it could be pure shite of clay and not worth doing much. You’ll need 4 or 5 inches of good topsoil to do anything. Take a picture of it and we’ll know.

Your best bet with a patch that size is to get a few rolls of artificial grass. You can take it with you when you leave.
You dirty lowdown bastard. No call for that

Shots fired…
Enjoy…gathering the olives is a real family tradition in Southern Europe …it’s sad to see what’s happening in the bigger cortijos in the south of Spain where they are ripping up the big 200 year old olive trees and replacing them with much smaller ones that machines can pick directly from…
If that’s an insult it’s gone way over my head…
Can they speak the lingo?
No sadly.
That involves manual work, he won’t do that.
Anybody know of a quarry in Ireland that supplies horticultural grit about 5mm stone size. The grit needs to be granite or a good quality sandstone but not limestone.
It’s obviously for sale in garden centres but it gets dearer and dearer every year. Crazy money now for a small bag. I need a nice bit.
There should be quarries around Wicklow somewhere but these places don’t have an internet presence and don’t generally sell to the public. So I’m making the TFK call.
Thanks for the reply. No website of course but their facebook page shows14mm granite chip, which is a bit big. So unless you have some local knowledge I’d say it’s a bit big.
Give them a call.
This is TFK ffs sake
