Treatment 2 - Weed Control - April/May

Once conditions are warm enough we spray a selective herbicide directly onto the weeds. As the weeds recede and die back so the lawn will flourish leaving you with a green and weed free lawn. We also include a liquid feed of trace elements necessary for healthy growth.

Treatment 3 - Summer Fertiliser - May/July

Once supplied this fertiliser will feed your lawn and keep it green until the Autumn (rainfall permitting). It will promote a dense green lawn. At this stage we will re-treat any weeds that remain.

Treatment 4 - Autumn Fertiliser - September/October

An Autumn fertiliser is supplied at this time of year to maintain the health and vigour of your lawn prior to the onset on winter. This balance feed will improve root growth and lead to a more drought tolerant lawn next season.

Treatment 5 - Moss Control - Nov/February

Moss is the biggest threat during this period so we spray it before it harms the grass. This liquid treatment plus additional feed kills the moss and improves the colour of the grass.

Whilst we will always guarantee to improve the health and appearance of your lawn over the course of the
year there can often be other factors beyond those of nutrition, weeds and disease that are the root cause
of a poor lawn.

The additional ProLawnCare additional services are there to rectify underlying problems and to reinstate and
repair worn out lawn areas

Solid Tine & Hollow Core Aeration

This process will help to alleviate soil compaction, allow water and nutrients to flow into the root zone more easily and bring important soil microbes and micro-nutrients back to the surface of the soil. The process of aeration is by far the most effective method of eradicating moss and thatch build up from lawns. We will use either solid tines (to relieve compaction or hollow tine to reduce thatch problems.

Most lawns will benefit from core aeration once each year. After aeration, many lawns will benefit from an application of top dressing (sand:soil mixture) plus additional grass seed to thicken and improve the quality of the lawn.

Scarification

The mechanical removal of thatch build up and dead moss. This is a labour intensive job whereby the years of build up and decline of your lawn can start to be undone. The lawn may look worse after the treatment but it is an essential part of the renovation process.

Lawn Repair

Dead, damaged and badly worn areas of your lawn are reinstated, usually this involves re-seeding techniques.

Top Dressing

The application of a sand rich material to the soil surface. It is usually applied following aeration of the lawn to improve both the drainage and the structure of your lawns top soil.

Driveway/Patio Moss and Weed Control

We also provide hard surface weed & moss control from drives, paths and patios.

Disease Control

Last year we noticed an increase in the disease known as Red Thread. This is first noticeable as irregular bleached patches on the lawn. If you look closely at the infected grass you will see red cotton like threads growing vertically from the blades of grass. Normally an application of a fertiliser will overcome this, but last year it was necessary to spray a fungicide to cure the problem.

Another diseases increasingly found in lawns is Fusarium Patch.

Worm Cast Control

Worm casts (small mounds of earth brought to the surface by worms). Of the 25 species of worms found in the UK only 3 are responsible for casting.

It is advisable to scatter the casts with a besom/broom otherwise these casts can smear and kill areas of grass allowing weeds to grow leading to deterioration in the lawn. Alternatively treatments can be applied to stop the casts occurring in the first place.

Ant Treatment

Ants are an increasing problem in Uk Lawns. Their colonies can build up leading to unevenness and hills in the lawn. In July adults leave the nest causing a risk to young children.
