Lawn Diary

From December to the end of February, it is low season in the lawn care calendar. However, there is still much to be done to ensure your lawn stays strong and resilient against the harsh winter months ahead.

December to February is low season for lawns apart from an occasional cut or application of ferrous sulphate or seaweed if conditions warrant. 

September is a prime month for autumn lawn renovations. It is an excellent time of year to complete any repairs needed on your lawn. There is still sufficient heat, light and rain to create perfect conditions for sowing. 

October is the start of the end of the lawn care year but don't stop mowing yet

November: the moss and leaves may keep you busy for a while yet!

May is a great month for lawns as the weather is looking to be on the up by the weekend and will continue to improve in the weeks that follow.

March is the start of the lawncare year but it's still too early for many spring jobs. Get your goods ordered, perhaps a light cut with the mower and a squirt of Ferrous Sulphate to start. 

June is a time for a range of lawn care tasks – normally consisting of feeding, weeding, mowing, watering more frequently when the temperatures pick up, and repairing any damage from wear and tear since your lawn is likely seeing more use.

With settled weather finally showing its face for most of the country, most areas will start drying out, which limits large projects somewhat. But keeping on top of weeds and ensuring your lawn stays watered and well-fed using spring/summer lawn food should be at the top of the agenda.

The plans for your lawn in August should include regular mowing, fertiliser treatments to encourage growth and raking or scarifying to control moss and thatch.

Now that April is upon us, you’re just a few clicks away from getting up to speed with your spring lawn care!
