Lawn Renovations

We apply either a non-selective herbicide to kill all vegetation, or a selective herbicide to eradicate undesirable weeds.

A moss killer is applied, typically in a liquid soluble form. 

A few weeks after our first visit, we use professional scarifiers to remove as much of the moss and dead organic matter as possible. This vigorous process involves passing over the lawn in multiple directions until the soil is visible for great seed to soil contact 

We will aerate the lawn which will help alleviate compaction and help the new grasses roots develop stronger and spread.

After the scarification process has been completed, we collect and bag all of the thatch and debris for your disposal. We can also quote for green waste removal as we are licensed by the environment fancy to remove waste or move it to a  compost heap or other suitable waste area. We then prepare the surface for seeding.

Once the surface is prepared, we apply the most suitable type of grass seed to the entire lawn area using calibrated spreaders. Your lawns may require different grass types depending on their growing environment we will only ever use the correct cultivar for your lawn.

We apply a layer up to 1 inch  organic dressing. The product is applied using rakes or specialist top dressing spreaders. Other tools such as lutes and drag mats may be used to ensure an even application. The dressing ensures that the seed will establish properly in a short period of time, as well as benefitting your lawn’s soil structure.

Fertiliser is applied to ensure your new lawn establishes as quickly as possible. It provides a steady supply of the right nutrients and lasts for up to six weeks we will also add another light scattering of seed. 

We then work our drag-mats or a lawn lute over the lawn to smooth the surface and work the seeds into the top dressing for better seed to soil contact.
