Advice/Suggestion of where to Purchase

TerrysWorld

My Daughters lawn is more of a meadow than a lawn with its long coarse grass and grows very quickly and difficult for her to maintain being single, even with a self-propelled machine

So I've suggested to kill it off and start again with a fresh new lawn.

Any suggestions of where to purchase online 5ltrs of  Glyphosate, if that is the best option to kill off the grass of approx. 60m2.

2l of ready mix should cover it.

Sounds like a waste of time and more work creating a new lawn. Not sure how being single comes into it. My marital status doesn't seem to affect my grass cutting.

We have patched a space near the garage that we lost all the grass over the winter. The new grass grows faster than the old stuff.

 Maybe some concrete slabs would be less maintenance, or that astroturf stuff, although I gather you have to vacuum it.

Thank you but I think your comments are not helpful and negative.

Her current lawn grows at least 4" a week, where mine only grows 1" a week. That in it self allows her to cut the lawn once a fortnight not twice three times a week as present.

Thank you, I'll look it up at Wilko.

Just because your lawn grows more slowly than your daughter's doesn't mean that you can replicate that just by making a new lawn ... there will be a lot of factors involved.  

As has been said, properly prepared new lawns will grow thickly and be lush and require frequent mowing ... probably twice a week during the growing season.
