Summer Treatment
Spring is an important season for looking after your lawn.
After tough winter conditions, it needs careful attention as soon as the days start to draw out and the grass starts to grow. Giving your lawn the care and attention it needs now will help you to gain the best possible results throughout the year.
It is essential that your lawn is fed during spring. The grass plants are growing rapidly at this time and, like any living thing, need the correct nutrients in the correct quantities in order to grow strong and healthy. Our professional-grade Spring fertiliser will ensure your lawns receives this, resulting in a healthy, thicker, denser, greener sward.
Your lawn will also be sprayed with a suitable selective broadleaf herbicide to eradicate those unsightly weeds.

Summer is the time of year to really enjoy your lawn and the benefits of your spring treatment.
To carry on the good work done by the spring treatment, we will apply a season-specific slow-release summer fertiliser to keep the lawn in top condition through the warm, dry summer months.
Another application of selective herbicide will be applied where needed for those stubborn weeds.

Autumn is a key season for your lawn. It is important to use the remaining months of the growing season to strengthen and prepare the lawn for the rigours winter may bring. The effort put into a lawn in autumn will improve the quality and health of the lawn heading into the winter.
Our autumn feed will supply your lawn with the essential nutrients it needs to prepare and strengthen itself for winter. As autumn advances, damp, mild or cold conditions can lead to various diseases such as fusarium patch. Applying our autumn treatment will help battle these by strengthening the grass as well as giving your lawn a desirable green colour.
Winter Treatment

Although winter is a relatively quiet time in the garden, there is still the need to help your lawn through these colder months. As grass growth becomes dormant, moss will try its best to take a hold in your lawn. A moss control treatment is applied with added nutrients to keep the moss in check and give your lawn some needed help through winter.
Our Packages Include:
Fertiliser Application
Grass plants need on-going nutrition, and absorb their nutrients through their root system. Therefore a good soil rich in nutrients is essential for a healthy lawn. Fertilisation is a lawn treatment that provides, or supplements, the natural nutrients needed to become a healthy lawn. The fertilisers used are changed depending on the time of year to ensure the correct level of Nitrogen (N), Phosphate (P) and Pottasium (K) are maintained.
Weed and Moss Control
Moss is something that every lawn suffers from at one time or another. Unless treated and removed, moss will continue to choke out the grass plants. There are various reasons for the build up of moss in a lawn, but very damp and shaded areas are at most risk.
There are hundreds of different weeds which will need to be kept in check with a professional strength weed killer. Different weeds will require a different weed killer for the treatment to be effective.
Pest Control
There are a number of grass pests that are common in the UK. A grass pest is a creature that lives within the soil and feeds on the grass plant. Many grass pests feed on the root of the plant which causes a rapid deterioration in the condition of your lawn, causing large areas of discoloured grass and potentially a dead lawn. The most common/destructive pests are Leather Jackets and Chafer Grubs. Watch out for Crane Flies (Daddy Long Legs) landing on your lawns at the end of Summer/Autumn as t
Fungus & Disease control
The development of most diseases are usually dependent upon weather conditions, so recent weather conditions are to be considered during any diagnosis. Most diseases will have certain characteristics such as discolouration of the grasses, brown, dry patches or signs of fungi (mushroom type growth).
Scarification
Scarification is a mechanical operation which helps to remove all unwanted organic matter from around the base of the grass plant (thatch) and tidy up any straggly lateral growth from your lawn. The process will also remove moss that will otherwise choke the grass plant and restrict growth.
Your lawn may need scarification to prevent the build up of debris which could lead to other problems. Thatch will naturally build up over a period of time resulting in an inferior grass quality and appearance
Aeration
Modern living means that lawns become compacted very easily and benefit from aerating twice a year. Aeration involves piercing the lawn to allow water, oxygen, fertilisers and other nutrients to penetrate the soil more effectively and reach the roots. There are two main types of aeration which benefit the lawn; solid tine aeration, which aids the development of the grass plant, and hollow core aeration which facilitates the application of a top dressing and improves drainage.
