Cutting overgrown grass & painting pebbledash

[AriesWoman]

Hi

How do I cut overgrown grass in a back garden? It has got quite high and looks very untidy.

Also how do I paint pebble dash on the exterior walls of a house?

Thanks a million for any suggestions.

Hire a brush cutter from a Tool Hire Company. It will use a petrol/oil mix so be sure to ask what the ratio is etc.

You could ask the tool hire company about hiring a paint sprayer to paint your pebble dash also. I have painted pebble dash the old fashioned way .... brush ... and it was a painful job.

Cut it with a strimmer to a desired level, then mow if you need to.

I agree with the sprayer option. You can buy them in hardwear shops.

Try hiring a Flail Mower, its like a lawnmower but on steroids...!
Failing that a brush cutter, depends on the size of your garden also.

Do you need to clean it somehow prior to poainting? Also, what product/How do you go abpout cleaning it?
Cheers.
