Please don't turn your lawn in to a spotty dog!
 
Many people think that spraying their weeds in the lawn with a weed killer like Roundup™ will kill the weeds? It does, but it also kills the grass and encourages even more weeds!

 Lawn care, maintenance and management.

Would you believe that the above lawn is just two weeks old?

Lawn innovation is the laying, care, management and treatment of your lawn large or small, from drought tolerant topsoil to specialist treatments to ensure your lawn stays weed free.

We have many years experience in lawns and commercial grass areas and would be pleased to give you a free no obligation quote as to how we would precede into giving you a lawn like the one pictured above.

"After years of sliding along our lawns, Little Elf's bum has turned green, which just goes to show, Green Bum lawn treatments really are the best!"

 Lawn treatments that change the lawn forever!

A summer lawn treatment is applied in a liquid form so as not to scorch the grass, this is absorbed quickly into the foliage and roots and the grass will show a difference within a few days.

One off treatments or yearly programs are available to suit both your lawn and your budget, call us today for the start of a beautiful lawn!

Pictured below is what happens when we scarify a lawn to remove all the moss, this looks drastic but its like giving your hair a good comb, it revitalises the grass and takes out all the dead.

 
 D-I-Y Lawns  - Professional lawn advice

 
First you must plan what you are going to do, how long this is going to take and what products from the garden centre you are going to need?
EverGreen Organic Choice Lawn Food Packshot
 
First step - Overall feed
Using a slow release fertilizer (granular) spread to the manufactures amounts all over your lawn. This will give everything a boost, even the weeds but don't worry, its all part of the plan.
 
Second step - Selective weed killer
Verdone Extra PackshotUsing a selective weed killer (soluble), spread over the lawn to the manufactures amounts. This will remove all the weeds and leave the grass alone.
 
Please ensure the box does say "Selective" weed killer. If its not a selective, your grass will die with the weeds!
 
Third step - Moss KillEverGreen Mosskil Soluble Packshot
Using a moss killer like Ferrous (Iron) Sulphate spread this over the whole lawn area. Within just three hours you will see the signs of the grass and moss going black. Don't worry if the grass does go black, this treatment gives the grass a tonic!
 
Fourth step - Scarify (if required)
If there is lots of moss, the lawn will need to be scarified. Scarify machines can be hired from hire shops as its much easier than raking with a grass rake. If there is not much dead moss at all, regular mowing will eventually lift it out.
 
Scotts Lawn Builder Lawn Food Packshot
 
Fifth step - Further treatments
Further treatments of slow release fertilizer will be required. We normally do this on a monthly basis for our customers, but quarterly would be fine to keep the lawn well fed and growing strongly.
 
One last part to consider.
IfScotts EasyGreen Rotary Spreader Packshot you are to treat your lawn on a regular basis, how about a scotts rotary spreader? This is not a professional one as the volume of granules it carry's is much less, but they work very well and the coverage is even.
 
 
 
 
If you get stuck you may email us for advice and we will respond with 12 hours.

Simply Gardening Tips

The best mowing height for the summer!

Did you know that lawns should be mowed between 25 and 30mm (1 to 1.5inches) in the summer? This will encourage the grass to become thick and lush with a much better colour than if its too short!

Also, if the lawn is long the grass shouldn't be cut any more than one third of its length, otherwise it can be damager!

 

Fairy ring and Fungus treatments

Not the most talked about, but still as important as weed and feed is the removal of fairy rings from your lawn!

Although a specialist treatment that takes more than one application to work this is something that we have many years of experience  removing!
