Overview
Your lawn looks its best with regular mowing throughout the growing season, regular feeding and specialised treatments or repairs when required.
Lawn Mowing
Your lawn will be mowed at the correct height with a professional quality machine. Your lawn borders and edges will also be kept trimmed, leaving you with a neat and tidy lawn to enjoy.
Rough Grass Cutting
If your lawn is overgrown (over 6″), this needs a different approach. You risk damaging a normal lawnmower if you tackle very long grass. Depending how far its gone, it may need a special rough mower to bring back down to a manageable height.
Scarifying
Your lawn should have an annual scarifying to remove thatch and discourage moss. When grass dies it doesn’t simply blow away; it forms a layer of thatch under your lovely green grass. Over time this will cause problems and will weaken your turf. However, scarifying can be quite labour intensive, especially for larger lawns.
This service includes full clean up of moss/thatch from the lawn.
Lawn Weeds
Weeds not only look bad but, left untreated – they will ultimately destroy a lawn. Your only option then is to re-turf the whole area. Bare patches in your lawn can leave it open to weeds, as can sparse or poor grass growth.
- Young lawns are particularly susceptible to damage
- Weeds cannot compete with a healthy lawn thick with grass.
- Lawn weeds will be treated with a suitable weed killer
Lawn Repair
There are a number of other things you can have done to help improve a tired or patchy lawn:
- Over seeding
- Top dressing
- Edge repair
- Leveling / rolling
If the lawn is particularly bad, it will generally make more sense to start again by re-seeding a new lawn.
