Core Lawn Care Services

Feeding & Fertilising a Lawn

  • Promote growth by providing essential nutrients for healthy, lush grass.
  • Replaces nutrients lost through mowing and natural processes.
  • Encourages thick growth to crowd out weeds.
  • Strengthen grass and boost resilience to stress, pests and weather.
  • Season-specific to prepare for winter dormancy, drought resistance, or spring growth.

Weed & Moss Control

  • Reduce competition: weeds steal water, nutrients, and sunlight.
  • Prevent spread: spraying helps stop weeds and moss spreading.
  • Enhance lawn appearance.
  • Protect grass health.
  • Regular control is easier than tackling large infestations later.

Scarifying

  • Removes moss and thatch from the lawn.
  • Improves air, water, and nutrient penetration to the soil.
  • Best performed in spring or autumn during active grass growth.
  • Encourages healthier, thicker grass and reduces disease risk.

Aeration

  • Perforates the soil to improve airflow, water, and nutrient absorption.
  • We use a petrol aerator (can also be done with a garden fork).
  • Relieves soil compaction and promotes root growth.
  • Enhances lawn health, surface drainage, and resilience to stress.

Lawn Renovations (often a last resort, cheaper than turfing)

  • Kill off existing grass and weeds; 2–3 weeks later remove the ‘dead’ lawn by scarifying, followed by aerating, over-seeding and top dressing.
  • We can fleece the lawn to help protect the seed.
  • Only offered in spring or autumn.
