not horses but cows but as you say fork, fill and seed put the s### on the compost heap
Funny that. My colleague's lawn was also ruined this weekend but by a herd of cows that escaped from a nearby field...
Wow - that's some serious aeration
daisy that look bad is the farmer going to sort it out
Well, sadly, as the lawn was quite wet I think compaction is more likely than aeration. All of the air will have been pushed out of the soil/mud by the weight of the animals.
I had the same with one of my customers last year, I forked up the worst, filled with fine top soil and top dressed and seeded the whole area so it would match in. The cattle also ended up in the pond ripping the liner! all the stone work had to come out including a bridge just to replace the liner.
Yes, I have. We had a horse that was an escape specialist and regularly damaged the front lawns of our neighbours. Made us very popular! I used to go with a wheelbarrow full of nice topsoil, lifted up all the indented hoof marks, packed topsoil under it and patted back the piece of lawn. Within 2 weeks you could not see the original damage any more. It is very labour-intensive, but it works and good relations were established once again with our neighbours.
I did take a lot of pictures and videos - it was tuning into something like a film noir crime scene with horticultural overtones. Have left as it is until further notice from client.
