I have a lawn that was laid 10 years ago with Rolawn Medallion turf at
a rental house. The tenant has been there all that time.

In that time, it has now become a dandelion bed, i.e there is now very
little grass visible and is now basically full of dandelions.

I see I have several options:

Dig it all up and lay new turf.... how long do the dandelion tap roots
go down and how do I ensure I get the entire tap roots out?

Apply a total weedkiller, wait several months and then reseed with
grass seed

Apply a selective weedkiller to kill just the dandelions and hope the
grass then regrows and fills in the space left by the dandelions

Pay GreenThumb or similar X quid a month and get them to visit several
times a year and sort it out for me.

What do the panel think?

Senior Management was able to 'recover' a lawn in a sorry state to a
pretty good condition by using one of the off the shelf 'weed and feeds'
in combination with some 'spot' weed killer for the stubborn ones. It
took quite a long time, over a year, probably 2 or even 3. It seemed a
crime when we later torn it up and paved the whole area.

We faced with a similar problem in the current house we opted for new
turf. The results were certainly quicker but a lot more expensive.
