Spring Treatment
We improve your lawns colour and health by applying a carefully selected, granular, non-scorch slow release fertiliser which gently feeds your lawn during its initial growth stage. We also apply a low temperature liquid herbicide to stop early weed development.
Early Summer Treatment
Development of a lush, deep green lawn is achieved by a second application of a slow release fertiliser. Once again the selection of the fertiliser is based on your lawns current condition. We apply a selected herbicide that targets specific weed varieties.
Late Summer Treatment
Maintaining lawn quality through summer is achieved by a third fertiliser, which could be in granular or liquid form dependent on weather conditions. After careful inspection it may be necessary to apply a further herbicide treatment to maintain your weed-free lawn.
Autumn Treatment
Lawn colour and thickness is maintained by our autumn fertiliser which also focuses on the root development requirements of your lawn. We inspect your lawn and apply an herbicide if required.
Lawn Moss Control
They tend to infect lawns when the grass surface is sparse although its damp conditions moss will be found in most lawns during the cooler months. Moss spores are produced in spring and autumn infecting lawns, sometimes we even help spread them by raking the lawns surface. Any practise that reduces the thickness of the lawn will aid the development of moss i.e. mowing too short, compaction, poor drainage and the creation of shade. Don’t worry a severely infected lawn can be rejuvenated. We will be happy to advise you on a suitable program for your lawn.
Lawn Aeration
Foot traffic, lawn mowing and even rain causes compaction on your lawn. This squeezing together of the upper surface of soil reduces the ability of air, water and nutrients to penetrate through into the root zone. This has an adverse effect on the quality and visual appearance of your lawn. There is a solution… aeration. Aeration is the process by which thousands of holes are punched into your lawns surface. The process not only creates the surface holes but also fractures the ground below, creating tiny cracks down which air, water and nutrients travel. Aeration increases the rooting depth of the grass, increases the rate at which the soil breaks down thatch and also improves the effectiveness of fertilisation. Aeration can be achieved using solid or hollow tines. We will be happy to advise you as to which option would be most suitable for your lawn. Aeration can be performed throughout the year, weather permitting, and it is one of the most beneficial treatments for your lawn.
Lawn scarification
Over time lawns become choked with thatch, this layer of dead and decaying organic matter lies on the top of the root zone. This impedes the penetration of water and nutrient to the lawns roots thus stunting their growth. This results in weak growth and leads to pale, thin lawns. Scarification is the process of removing thatch from the surface of the lawn. The process is carried out with a mechanical scarifier which consists of a rotating horizontal shaft of blades which penetrate the top surface of the lawn removing the thatch. As well as removing thatch, scarification also provides an element of aeration, improving drainage and disease tolerance, and will also reduce sponginess in the lawn.
TURFING and SEEDING SERVICES
Lawn overseeding
Over time and for various reason lawns can become tired, thin and patchy. This situation can be improved with an over-seed of the lawn. Normally carried out after scarification, over-seeding allows you the opportunity to introduce stronger, drought resilient and more attractive seed varieties into your lawn.
Lawn Top Dressing
A great way to improve the condition of the soil beneath your lawn is to top dress. A mixture of minerals such as sand, silt and organic materials such as peat is added to the surface of your lawn. This material brings substantial benefits to your lawn such as:
Reduction in thatch levels Improvement to drainage Improvement in soil structure Improved water and nutrient retention
It also provides a visual solution to unsightly cracks and undulations due to soil settlement. Top dressing can be carried out throughout the year. We will be happy to advise you on the appropriate type of top dressing for your soil type.
Lawn repairs
Most lawns will require small repairs from time to time. The sooner the problem is tackled the better to prevent the problem becoming worse. We can provide repairs to your lawn when necessary, treating worn out edges, bare patches, thinning lawns, uneven surfaces and poor drainage.
New lawns laid
Can restore even the most weed infested lawn with our treatments, however in worse case situations we can re-turf new lawns with high quality, locally sourced turf. Please call us and we will be more than happy to provide you with a quotation.
Customer Testimonials
The Homefix Group team transformed my garden. I’m delighted. It was tired and overgrown but I had no idea what to do to spruce it up. They came in with the idea of making it a haven for wildlife all year round, stripping back and planting new shrubs and flowers. I can’t wait to see what it looks like in spring.
Amelia
Homefix Group gave me some fantastic advice and help in my garden with some established shrubs and overgrown borders, which now look much tidier and healthier. She pruned some climbing plants and repotted some plants that needed attention. Homefix Group is knowledgeable, kind, and patient, listens and cares for what is needed. A great find! Thank you
Matilda
Homefix Group brought ideas, knowledge and inspiration to our new ‘blank canvas’ of a garden, and then worked with us to design the finished article. She blended plant colours, types and characteristics and set them out for our review before planting. We’re now excited the rain has come to help them grow into what we hope and expect will be a sea of colour, and many scents, to both look wonderful, and to attract the birds, bees and butterflies. Thank you Homefix Group for your hard work, ideas, and speedy service
Harper
We had a very large border that had become unmanageable with weeds. Homefix Group came regularly to clear the border. The border now looks great and we are very pleased with the result.
