By end of April and into May the lawn should be growing well so you can complete your lawn care and grass maintenance plans for the spring ready for the summer.

In summer consideration needs to be given to heat and drought so keeping the lawn correctly fertilised, cut and aerated will help the lawn stay greener longer.

As autumn approaches the weather starts cooling and getting wetter; the ideal time for feeding and weeding plus any maintenance and repairs before winter.
