We can provide all year round lawn care for any size lawn, large or small, flat or inclined. Our lawn maintenance plan (detailed below) is seasonally adjusted to provide you with a beautiful garden:
January/February
- Clear away leaves and debris.
- Avoid walking on the lawn when frozen or waterlogged.
March/April
- Apply Lawn fertilisers.
- Mowing the lawn begins as the change in climate stimulates turf growth and increases the frequency of mowing as required.
- Scarify if your lawn is more than 12 months old.
- Remove or spot treat coarse grasses and weeds.
- Patch damaged lawn areas and edges with replacement turf or lawn seed.
- Re-seed where necessary if your lawn is more than 12 months old.
May/June
- Mowing
- Fertilise established lawns containing weeds and moss with appropriate lawn fertiliser along with weed & moss killer.
- Increase mowing frequency, a little and often is the key.
- Aerate.
- Remove or spot treat coarse grasses and weeds.
- Water if rainfall is low.
July/August
- Use water wisely, but to maintain colour in summer, more watering will probably be required.
- In times of drought your lawn might go brown and dormant. It will recover when rainfall returns.
- Make arrangements for us to mow your lawn whilst you are on holiday.
September/October
- Scarify your lawn if more than 12 months old.
- Gradually decrease mowing frequency as grass growth subsides, raise the height of cut as winter approaches.
- Aerate.
