Early Spring Lawncare Tips

As the daylight hours increase and the winter snows hopefully become a memory, the whole garden is awakening from another winter. Spring bulbs such as Snowdrops are some of the first to flower.

But what about the lawn?

The winter rains and snow have drained nutrient from the soil. Many lawns are looking pale and, if the lawn has been used during the winter months, possibly rather bare. Also, you may be seeing less moss development compared to previous years, because of the cold.

Your Greener Gardens lawncare programme will ensure your lawn is ready to flourish, as the weather warms up, with a gentle release of all the nutrients it requires throughout spring. Our moss control will also help control any moss, which may have developed during the winter months.

If bare patches are an issue, we can help with the introduction of new grass species through a programme of over seeding. We can also help your lawn with aeration, which will aid drainage and root development, all essential for a green healthy lawn.

It will soon be time to think about your first lawn cut, we suggest that you raise the cutter for the few cuts and then cut no more than 1/3rd off in any one cut. It’s not too late to replace the mower blade or get it sharpened, all crucial for a healthy cut.

If you have a petrol mower, don’t use fuel left over from last year. Stale fuel accounts for many starting problems at any time of the year.
