Lawn mowers & mowing the lawn
|
|
Mowing the lawn is the most common task carried out on the lawn, it is frequently mown
during the warmer summer period when growth is strong. It is important that you use the correct
type of mower, mow at the correct height of cut and maintain the mower correctly.
The lawn mower and mowing page covers all of the above topics and how to get the best results
from mowing. MORE INFO

Top dressing the lawn
|
|
Frequently carried out in the late summer and early autumn as part of the autumn renovation
program top dressing is an essential job carried out on the lawn. Top dressing trues up the lawn,
encourages finer grasses, can improve drainage or drought resistance and improves the soil
structure.
We have information on which materials to use, how to mix and when to apply to the lawn.

Aerating & spiking the lawn
|
|
Another important task that is essential for a healthy vigorous lawn. Lawn aeration can
come in many forms from spiking to hollow tining. A wide range of tools are available from a simple
hand fork to a purpose built lawn aerator.
Our aeration page includes lots of information on this task. Includes the effects of the
different types of tine used, when to aerate and the benefits of spiking and aeration. MORE INFO

Scarifying the lawn
|
|
Lawn scarification can be carried out in both spring & autumn to remove and prevent the
build up of thatch and moss in the lawn. A range of equipment can be used for this task from a
spring bok rake to a motorised lawn scarifier or lawn rake.
This operation has many benefits on the health of the lawn which can be found on out
scarification page. MORE INFO

Spring lawn care
|
|
This is when the hard work on the lawn starts for the coming year. As the ground warms up
and the grass starts to grow we can start our program for the spring and give it a kick start for
the year ahead. Jobs during this period can include moss control and removal, spring & summer
fertiliser application and weed control.
We have information to help you get the best out of your spring lawn care program ensuring your
lawn looks it's best for summer. MORE INFO

Autumn lawn care
|
|
Just as the spring program prepares the lawn for the summer, the autumn program prepares it
to withstand the harsh winter conditions. This in turn can help the lawn enter the forthcoming
spring in a healthier state. The jobs for the autumn program can include top dressing, scarifying
and applying an autumn winter feed.
Check out our autumn lawn care page for an in depth look at all the tasks undertaken during this
period. MORE INFO

Lawn fertiliser & feeding the lawn
|
|
All lawns require vital nutrients to remain healthy, if the soil is deficient in nutrients
then the health of the lawn can suffer. We discuss the role of the key nutrients found in
fertiliser. Lawn fertiliser falls into two categories, spring/summer and autumn/winter fertiliser.
Visit our lawn fertiliser page for more info on what and when to apply and also what application
methods are available. MORE INFO
