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.
We assist our clients and customers with a variety of services and serve domestic premises and gardens too. So whether you would like a one off garden tidy, a new fence, regular grounds maintenance, grass cutting, borders re-planting, weed control, or tree removal, we can help with all of this to the highest standards!

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.
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
