Lawn Care – Treatment and Mowing

A well-cared for lawn is possibly the most important feature of your garden as it often takes up the most space and can create a beautiful setting for borders, trees and other features. As this aspect of garden maintenance is so important, lawn care is one of the services we offer so that your garden can look its very best. After all, your grass is just another plant that needs certain requirements to be met to help it thrive.

Mowing

Mowing is an aspect of garden maintenance that is required regularly.

During the growing season, we mow most of our customers’ lawns on a weekly basis. Early and later on in the year, mowing is carried out as and when required. When mowing lawns we always use Honda rotary mowers with rollers, which we find give the best results in most conditions. By using a roller mower you can achieve those pleasing stripes that everyone wants on their lawn.

When mowing lawns we always use a strimmer to trim around the edges of the lawn and around other features such as climbing frames and trees (whilst being careful not to catch the bark or stem).

 

Lawn Care Treatments

Lawns are often the most overlooked part of the garden, yet they often take up the largest area. Lawns need to be cared for because, unlike other plants, they take the most abuse. Lawn care, with all its facets, is vital for making sure that any weeds and moss that would grow in your lawn are kept to a minimum. Through careful management, application of selective herbicides, feeds and good husbandry care the lawn can be kept dark green and lush.

Scarification is the raking of moss and thatch out of the lawn to let it breathe. This is carried out in September/October depending on the weather conditions. Aeration should be carried out with a hollow tine aerator, which removes small cores of soil to relieve compaction. Following the aeration process, we apply the top dressing evenly and brush it into the previously made holes, which helps feed the grass by increasing nutrients in the root zone.

We can also provide you with Feed and Weed treatments throughout the year. Feed and Weed treatments are the perfect way to keep on top of the weeds growing in your lawn whilst ensuring your lawn has all the nutrients it needs to grow healthily and vibrantly.
