Weeds and moss will be controlled, soil health will be improved leading to a lush healthy lawn you will be proud of.

 

Our Standard (and most popular ) Lawn Treatment Programme includes –

 

Spring Lawn Treatment

This can be the most important time of the year. There is plenty of moisture about and the ground is starting to warm. The grass plant responds by growing vigorously, If the grass is short of food it will not grow healthily. Weak grass allows moss and weeds to develop.
 
  • We will apply a slow release high Nitrogen fertiliser, this will help kick start your lawn, helping to maintain lush growth for up to 3 months without the need for excessive mowing. You should see a difference within 10 days of application.

  • We will complete a condition report, this will be emailed to you and include an assessment of the condition of your lawn, this will also and include additional tips and or recommendations we feel your lawn will benefit from.

Early Summer Lawn Treatment

Grass growth should now be in full swing and you should be way into a regular mowing regime. Nutrients from the spring treatment will almost be depleted and ready for a top-up. This is also the time of year when annual and perennial weeds will start to appear.

  • We will apply our high Nitrogen slow release fertiliser that will nourish the grass for up to 12 weeks. Our fertilisers do not need to be watered in however if the lawn is dry watering in will produce quicker results.

  • We will apply a liquid herbicide to start to tackle the emerging perennial and annual weeds, our weed killers have 3 active ingredients and will control a wide range of common lawn weeds.

  • A further condition report will be completed, this will be emailed to you with recommendations and additional lawn care tips

Late Summer Lawn Treatment

During the summer we can experience periods of high temperatures and drought so Its important to know what products to use that are safe and wont damage your lawn.

 

  • We will apply a non-scorch fertiliser to supply the grass with all the nutrients it needs without the risk of it burning and damaging your lawn. If rain is not forthcoming our fertiliser will sit dormant until the lawn is irrigated or rain returns.

  • We will spot treat any stubborn weeds or weeds that have emerged since your last treatment.

  • We will complete our third condition report and email you our findings with lawn tips and any recommendations we feel you will benefit from.

Autumn Lawn Treatment

Warm weather combined with damp conditions make this time of year ideal for lawn diseases and moss to attack so Autumn is the key time to start applying moss controlLawns need a regular supply of nutrients to look their best but too much nitrogen this time of year isn’t good for your lawn.

  • We apply a 3 way liquid treatment in this period, this includes a low nitrogen feed to maintain colour without excessive growth, a moss control (with micro nutrients), and finally a bio-stimulant that improves soil health (healthy soil, healthy grass).

  • We will check for any lawn diseases and a condition report will be carried out and emailed to the customer.

Winter Lawn Treatment

This time of year the grass is pretty much dormant and can be prone to stress, moisture levels are also high so this can allow for moss to creep in.  The winter treatment is tailored to tackle these problems.

 

  • We will apply a liquid moss and conditioner. The three way action of this treatment kills moss, toughens up the grass for the cold temperatures, one further benefit is a nice rapid green-up of your lawn.

  • The final condition report of the year (we will probably be nagging you about clearing leaves and debris from the surface of your lawn)

Mechanical Procedures Included are –

Lawn Scarification

Scarification is the mechanical process of removing thatch and moss from the base of the grass plants.  Lawn Therapy have powered machines which scarify far more comprehensively and are far more efficiently than raking. Several vertical metal blades revolve at high speed around a shaft and lift out thatch and moss as the machine is pushed along the lawn. As well as removing thatch and dead moss the blades also prune the shoots of the grass plant encouraging strong new growth. See more details about Lawn Scarification here.

To speed up recovery of a lawn, scarification is carried out in either spring or autumn when the lawn is actively growing.

Lawn Aeration

Aeration is the mechanical process of punching small holes in your lawn (lawn spiking) or removing soil cores from your lawn (hollow tine aeration). The purpose of aeration is to reduce soil compaction, reduce sub surface thatch and improve soil health by allowing, water, oxygen and nutrients to pass easily into the root zone, this procedure also improves surface drainage and aids gaseous exchange (healthy soil = healthy grass).

See more details about Lawn Aeration here.

Aeration is usually carried out when the soil is moist usually late autumn & early spring.

 
Common Questions

Most Popular Questions

Although regular mowing, and watering of a lawn is vitally important, it’s not quite enough to give you the lush green weed free lawn that we desire.

lawns require regular feeds, weed and moss control coupled with mechanical procedures to give these desired results.

That’s where we come in…..
Off the shelf DIY lawn products will give poor, and short lived results, whereas Lawn Therapy’s treatments will give a far more effective long lasting result, and each treatment is tailor made to each particular season, and with the added benefit we do this for you.

Once your lawn has had one of our seasonal feeds applied, and depending on the weather, you should normally start to see results within 7 – 10 days.

Lawns that require heavier, and more invasive work can take between 3 and 8 weeks to see a good improvement – regular follow-up treatments will also help these lawns establish.
