Spring lawn care
Spring lawn care
Once we enter Spring it's all systems go on the lawn care front! Moss can be dealt with, new grass seed laid and feeds can be applied to begin making your lawn nice and healthy.
Weeds & Moss
Apply treatment for killing weeds and moss. Once the moss is dead and has turned black it can be raked out. Avoid raking the lawn until you're confident the moss is dead as raking can spread the spores
Improve Drainage
Spike your lawn with a fork or use an aerator to relieve compaction and encourage root growth and improve drainage
Over-Seeding
The lawn can be over-seeded and afterwards should be kept moist at all times to help the seeds germinate
Mowing
You can begin to start mowing the lawn but keep the cutting height high at first and make sure the blades are sharp as blunt blades can tear young grass out of the ground rather than cutting it
