Summer is coming, and while it may not seem like it at the moment, it seems as though it's just around the corner. But while the weather in the UK continues to be disappointing, that means there's still plenty of time to get your grass ready to turn lush and green for the few days of summer we might enjoy.
TikTok user The Lawn Pack shared his top tips on social media, revealing how he transformed his garden from drab to stunning in just four weeks. Sharing some seriously impressive before and after photos, he began listing off the steps he took, which were all carried out on the same day.
