Lawn care

Lawns can look tired at this time of the year. The quickest and easiest way of bringing lawns back into perfect condition is to feed them. At this time of year we suggest a liquid feed. This will act quickly giving an immediate greening-up effect and as a liquid it’s less likely to scorch the grass. If the lawn is plagued with weeds or moss then a liquid feed and weed or feed, weed and mosskiller will help get these under control too. But tricky, persistent weeds are best sprayed with a selective liquid lawn weedkiller. You should also continue to mow regularly – whenever the grass is growing and needs a short, back and sides. Don’t forget to edge the lawn – it’s amazing how much this little job improves the overall appearance. Providing you mow regularly you can leave the small clippings on the lawn as they will help mulch the soil and so conserve soil moisture, but when the soil becomes really dry you may want to give the lawn a good watering. If you don’t there’s a good chance it will turn brown, but more likely than not it will green up again in the autumn.
