Our Spring feed is designed to help the lawn recover from Winter and provides the essential nutrients for a deep green colour.
Why feed your lawn in Spring?
During the Spring 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 will apply a Spring feed and Moss control but it is also important to take time to examine your lawn for signs of moss and take action additional action if necessary.
What the feed will do:
- “Greens up” even at low soil temperatures
- Promotes healthy root growth and provides spring nutritional needs
- Trace element package included for added plant health.
Plus the Moss Control:
- Flexibility to tailor the application rate 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.
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.
Spring 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
- Keep trimming the edges for that smart professional look.
Tips for Mowing Wet Grass
Follow these tips to get your lawn cutting season off to a great start:
- Dry off the lawn first: use a length of hose or brush and drag across the lawn, this will disperse any water down into the soil
- Mow in the afternoon: which gives the grass leaves a chance to dry
- Choose a windy day: it will assist in drying the lawn
- Cutting height: put the mower on the highest setting
- Clean the mower: grass left from a previous cuts attracts wet grass like a magnet
- Mower type:A rotary mower will be easier and better than a cylinder mower.
Why raise the cutting height?
- When you mow, you’ll mow higher up the leaf where it is drier
- This will help especially on clay soils
- The mower will ride on a cushion of grass with fewer muddy tracks
- Longer grass will grow more slowly
- The grass will use more energy in growing roots
- The extra leaf will improve health and disease resistance.
Recommended cutting heights
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.
