This technique is used to improve drainage and relieve compaction, thus allowing water, air and nutrients to better reach the grass roots, this then encourages the roots to penetrate the soil more deeply. This improves the drought resistance and promotes overall lawn health by increasing the ability of the lawn to access reserves of moisture deeper in the soil. We recommend aeration at the beginning of the program and from then on in the spring and autumn. Aeration is arguably the most important treatment you can give your lawn. It significantly assists the re-establishment of tired lawns.
Scarifying
Scarification is considered by many to be the best way to remove moss and thatch from a lawn. Our commercial scarifier will lift the majority of the moss and thatch out of your lawn, which creates more space for healthy grass to grow and establish. The recovery process normally takes around 4-6 weeks, though this varies due to the weather. You will then have a beautiful, lush green lawn. All green waste is removed from site by us.
Lawns are Scarified in the Spring and Autumn, when conditions are best for post scarification recovery. If you have any questions about the scarification process or whether your lawn would benefit from scarification, please feel free to contact us now. We look forward to hearing from you!

Fertiliser & Herbicide
We apply granular fertilizer that does not need to be watered in and a season specific selective herbicide to kill the weeds that are growing at the time of year. The herbicide is absorbed into the body of the weeds and makes them grow rapidly, outgrowing their natural strength and killing them. To gain best results from this treatment and for it to be most effective, do not mow the grass for three days prior to and after the treatment. Please keep all animals that may eat the grass off the lawn for two weeks after application. It is completely safe to walk and play on once dry.
In September or October we apply a moss treatment in granular form to the lawn to prevent the germination of moss spore and to kill any minor moss growth that may be present.
In November / December / January we apply our Winter treatment that helps to prevent disease. The treatment contains soluble iron that helps give grass gives a a lovely dark green colour.
