Weed and Feed Treatments

Our treatment programme starts in the Spring with the application of a balanced slow release granular fertilizer with a relatively high Nitrogen content to help kick start the Spring growth together with an application of a selective liquid weed control.

The Summer treatment is where we apply a non scorch drought safe semi organic granular fertilizer with a reduced slow release Nitrogen content but still contains other balanced nutrients together again with an application of a selective liquid weed control.

The Autumn fertilizer is a premium granular product formulated to help combat the Winter months weather and is perfect for maintaining lawn colour and vigour, a selective liquid weed control is applied to maintain control over any stubborn weeds.

Winter Moss Control Treatment

The Moss control treatment is Iron Sulphate and is in liquid form applied through a knapsack or motorized sprayer. Moss is the lawns biggest challenge due to the changing climate of milder damp Winter month's and sometimes it is beneficial to apply more than one treatment through the period.

Mechanical Scarifying

Scarification is a process whereby the levels of moss and thatch (organic matter) are reduced by mechanical raking allowing natural and important nutrients into the soil rejuvenating the grass root zone to produce healthy growth again.

Early Autumn or Early Spring would be the time to Scarify.

Mechanical Aeration

This is one of the most beneficial treatments a lawn can have. It's purpose is primarily to ease soil compaction which in turn enables the root zone to accept vital nutrient's, air, water to produce a stronger growth.

There are various forms of Aeration, hollow tine, solid tine and slitting, the one to choose to a degree would depend on what type of soil and condition of the lawn.

Early Autumn or Early Spring would be the time to Aerate.

Additional Treatments

We are also able to offer treatments and advice for various lawn problems such as Red Thread, Fusarium and Dry Patch etc. If you think your lawn is suffering from any of these diseases or require any other information then please get in contact.

We do offer a Free no obligation lawn survey.
