Lawn Treatments
Our comprehensive lawn treatments combine seasonal feeding with targeted moss and weed control. Using professional-grade fertilisers tailored to soil conditions, we address nutrient deficiencies while managing pests like chafer grubs. Each programme includes four annual visits to maintain lawn health through changing seasons, with optional winter moss control during wet weather.
Scarification
Scarification removes thatch buildup and dead organic matter to improve lawn density. By eliminating excess debris, we reduce moss growth and stimulate vigorous grass development. This service is recommended in autumn or spring, with heavy scarification for severe moss infestations and lighter treatments for preventative maintenance.
Aeration
Our aeration service alleviates soil compaction by creating air channels through core removal. This allows better water and nutrient penetration to grass roots, promoting stronger growth. Treatments can be applied year-round except during frozen or excessively dry conditions, with top dressing often combined for enhanced soil enrichment.
Overseeding
Overseeding introduces new grass varieties to improve lawn density and resilience. We target bare patches and thin areas using compatible seed blends, typically performed in autumn for optimal germination. This service enhances turf appearance while improving resistance to pests and environmental stressors.
Pest Control
We provide targeted treatments for common lawn pests including chafer grubs, leather jackets, and ants. Our approach combines chemical controls with cultural practices to manage infestations effectively. Regular monitoring and preventative measures help maintain lawn integrity against insect damage and fungal diseases like red thread.
