Autumn Lawn Care Tips

Our Autumn feed is designed to prepare the lawn for Winter, it provides all the essential nutrients for a deep green winter colour.

Prepare you lawn for winter

During Autumn it’s important to:

  • Give the lawn a regular light cut (see tips in our free download)
  • Trim the edges to define the lawn
  • Keep off the lawn when the grass is covered in frost.

On this treatment we apply an autumn feed which is high in phosphates and potash. This will develop strong roots, which in turn promote healthy leaves and added disease protection.

What the feed will do:

  • “Greens up” even at lower soil temperatures
  • Promotes healthy root growth
  • Includes trace elements for added plant health.

Plus the Moss Control:

  • Application rate tailored for your lawn and conditions
  • Fast acting, see a difference in 24 hours
  • Improves plant cell structure for a healthier leaf.

The moss control normally shows signs of working by turning the moss to brown to black. Raking out the blackened moss will prevent it from thriving in the future.

Autumn lawn cutting advice

Correct mowing will make the difference between a “so-so” lawn and a great one. These few simple steps make a big difference in your lawns appearance, encouraging a thicker sward and deeper colour:

  • A light topping of the grass is always better than a severe “hacking”
  • Regular cutting requires less effort
  • Mowing in the afternoon may be easier when the grass is drier
  • Keep trimming the edges for that smart professional look.

Now is a great time to apply Soil Improver

Benefits of our Soil Improver:

  • Improves soil structure and tilth
  • Creates friable soils and builds deeper top-soil
  • Breaks up soils compacted by sodium and clay
  • Allows soil to dry more quickly after rain or irrigation enabling it to be worked sooner
  • Enhances friendly bacterial action and discourages plant diseases related to poor soil aeration
  • Conditioned soil allows for deeper, healthier root development and water penetration.

Your lawn appreciates adjusting the cutting height throughout the year, however, if you just want one setting for the entire season use the highest recommendation.
