We strim the perimeter of the lawn and all of the areas the mower cannot reach. We use the best mower available with regularly sharpened blades.
Finally, we blow off debris from paths, walkways, patios leaving the lawn looking fresh, stripped and maintained.
We can clear the leaves from your paths, grassed areas, gravelled areas, patios, driveway etc. Leaf clearance is most popular in the Autumn during leaf fall.
There are a few reasons why leaf clearing should be done regularly. A thick layer of decaying leaves will stop the light getting to your grass and also the worms will love it! In turn, the worms will eat the leaves, pull them below the ground and consequently put casts all over the surface.
Professional grade, organic based, controlled release and non-scorch.
We Fertilise your lawn properly using the top of the range products. You'll soon be on your way to a healthy, dense stand of turf that maintains a deep green colour and gives weeds a run for their money.
We combine our applications between Granular and Liquid form to display peak performance all year round. Nitrogen is every lawn's most important ingredient, and each type of grass demands different amounts to display peak growth and performance.
We tailor your treatments to the needs of your individual lawn.
Remember - A regular mowing schedule is essential to ensure the lawn benefits from lawn treatments.
Aeration results in increased root growth. New and stronger roots lead to healthier and stronger plants. we offer both solid & hollow tine Aeration.
Thatch (all the dead grass and moss in the base of the lawn) is one of the main reasons to cause a lawn to deteriorate. The benefits of scarifying include:
Increased disease tolerance
Improved rooting
Increased water, nutrient and oxygen movement into the soil
Enhanced infiltration of rainfall or irrigation
Reduces the amount of thatch
Scarifying is best carried out in the early spring or autumn, so we are now planning our scarifying for the September/October. If you would like to discuss scarification of your lawn please do get in touch.
Our Iron sulphate is used to green and toughen up grass as well as suppress the growth of moss.
The high-quality iron formulation is particularly beneficial during colder spells of weather as it will help strengthen the plant against frost and disease. Iron is absorbed by the leaf giving rapid results and has been known to blacken moss within hours.
Leatherjacket grubs & Chafer grubs are the larvae of crane flies ‘daddy long legs’. & Chafer beetles. Before they reach the adult stage they feed on grass roots ruining your otherwise well-kept grass.
You may notice your green lawn is showing patches of yellow in spring and that the grass pulls up easily with no roots attached, this is likely to be badly affected by leatherjacket or Chafer grubs. Another indication is lots of birds flocking to your lawn, particularly starlings, feeding all at once pecking at the grass.
If you notice these symptoms in spring and allow us to introduce naturally occurring nematodes into the rootzone of the soil. They will then hunt out soft-bodied grubs to feed on!
PLEASE NOTE: It is important to re-apply in the autumn. Further craneflies & chafer beetles may have mated in the summer and laid eggs in the lawn. An autumn application will see to this generation of grubs kept at bay.
Lawn renovation consists of the introduction of new grass seed into the whole lawn. Consider renovation of the whole lawn rather than repair when more than 25% of the lawn is suffering. Some of the reasons for renovation may be:
Excessive thatch layer
You want to change or improve the type of grass
Your lawn no longer responds to fertiliser treatments
The lawn is prone to diseases
The lawn suffers from heavy weed grass infestation
