LAWNS A
cut above the rest - Lawn Mowing A key to successful mowing is little and
often. Light cutting encourages the grass to produce extra shoots, and stunts
weeds and coarse grasses. We
recommend in Summer cutting the grass at least once a week and not mowing too
closely or the colour and texture of the grass will deteriorate. We
can achieve the sought-after striped effect, to really enhance the appearance
of your lawn.
Lawn
Scarification Moss and thatch forms a layer of dead material, between the
grass and the soil. If this gets too thick it prevents water and nutrients from
reaching the grass roots, and provides humid moist conditions for fungal lawn
diseases to take hold. Scarification
helps remove heavy grass thatch from the lawn. We recommend scarification at the
beginning of the growing season (Spring or early Autumn) to allow the grass to
recover from this rigorous process as fast as possible. We
would be pleased to advise the best time for the scarification of your lawn if
necessary. Scarification is not done routinely, but only when it is required to
resolve thatching problems.
Lawn
Strimming & Edge-cutting We can help achieve a neatly manicured appearance
for your lawn, with crisp, clear edging separating the grass from ornamental borders.
The
shape, sweep & size of your lawn can be tailored to achieve maximum impact
and appearance of space dependant on the size & shape of your garden plot. Neat
edging can create impact and give an immediate aesthetic appeal. Creating
different shapes and focal points can give the impression of increased garden
width, length or sections.
Weed
Free - Lawn weed & feed treatments We undertake lawn feeding, weeding
and occasionally watering to maintain healthy growth. To produce a flourishing
lawn you need soil which has the right balance of plant foods like nitrogen, potash,
phosphorous and lime. For
small lawns we weed by hand, the most effective means of tackling the special
rosette or matt kind of lawn weeds, or 'spot' treat individual weeds with a recommended
weed killer. For
a larger lawn, we use a 'broad spectrum' type of weed killer which will destroy
a wide range of weeds or a combined weedkiller/fertiliser mixture. Lawns
absorb nutrients through their root system and a good soil rich in nutrients is
essential for a healthy lawn. Our
weed & feed treatments provide the natural nutrients needed for a healthy
lawn and help to reduce or eradicate weeds. Lawns
go through a continuous cycle of growth, reproduction and dormancy and we can
advise on treatment timings - around spring, early summer, late summer and pre-winter.
The average lawn will benefit from an annual Spring application of fully balanced
fertiliser. Fertilisers
not only encourage the grass to grow faster but also more densely. As a result,
weeds and moss are crowded out and the lawn retains its good, even green colour.
This
will assist the lawn in achieving its best health and appearance by using the
right products at the right time in the lawn's life cycle. to achieve a healthy,
attractive lawn.
Creating
a new lawn We can advise on the most appropriate new lawn, dependant on
what its main purpose will be:
- a
fine ornamental lawn to look good with minimal use for sitting & walking on
- a
hardier lawn to withstand a large amount of use from children or as access
- created
to overcome problems such as a wet or shady areas
The
use of the lawn will help to decide how to create the lawn with seed or turf:
- Turf
is quick not limited by the time of year
- Seed
is less expensive and can be tailored for a shady or wet area.
We
ensure appropriate preparation for your new lawn:
- existing
weeds removal
- raking
& compacting
Grass-watering We
usually receive sufficient rainfall in this country to maintain a green healthy
lawn. However, if the weather is particularly dry and the grass begins to lose
its bright green appearance or you are away on holiday we can ensure the grass
gets a good soaking.
