Spring is the best time for maintaining and revitalising lawns, following the winter rest and the challenges presented by cold weather. Early spring is the perfect time for maintenance aimed at stimulating the lawn's regrowth and addressing any issues that may have arisen during winter, such as damage from trampling, fungal diseases, or the emergence of broadleaf weeds. It's also a prime time to reseed thin or bare areas, particularly in shaded spots, to take advantage of the spring and summer growth seasons.

Organic materials and dried grass blades left on the lawn can form a dense layer on the soil surface, impeding proper respiration and drainage. To address this, scarifiers are used to remove this layer, enhancing soil aeration.

Fertilisation is crucial for supplying essential nutrients to the lawn, promoting robust and vigorous growth. In spring, we apply ecofective Natural Lawn Feed Liquid Concentrate which is rich in Nitrogen , following the recommended dosage and application instructions on the packaging. It contains a natural formula that is child and pet safe and can be applied easily by a watering can or sprinkle bar.

Spring is the ideal time to seed and re-thicken the most damaged grass areas. Selecting a grass seed appropriate for the lawn type is essential, considering factors such as sun exposure and shade. Alongside the seeds, a seeding fertiliser can be applied to encourage rapid root development. Apply evenly and for larger plots we recommend you use a seed spreader. When finished water, and ensure the area is well watered until the seedlings germinate. Any holes can be filled with turf soil.

As temperatures rise, establishing a regular watering schedule becomes imperative, particularly for newly seeded areas. The frequency of watering varies based on factors such as grass type, climate, and sun exposure.

Weeds pose a threat to the health of the lawn, competing for nutrients and water. While isolated cases can be addressed manually, more extensive infestations may require natural herbicides.

To encourage grass growth, mow the lawn regularly, starting with frequent but light cuts and gradually increasing the cutting height as the season progresses. We take into account the specific needs of the type of grass in our lawn. Some varieties require more water, others more fertilisation or more frequent mowing.
