If you are considering a lawn care service, then you may be wondering when the best time is to start this.
The simple answer is that you can start a lawn care programme at any time of the year, and the sooner the better. Your lawn will always benefit regardless of the timing.
At LawnTreat we have a range of seasonal treatments tailored to the specific time of year as well as the unique needs of your lawn. These are designed to keep your grass in great shape all year round and can be started whenever you’re ready.
Our Spring Starter Treatment will give your lawn a boost after the cooler months and is ideal for helping your grass get into great condition during the spring. You’ll notice a difference in the condition of your lawn after just a few weeks.
As temperatures continue to rise our Spring into Summer Treatment keeps your grass growing healthy and strong and continues to target new weeds, while the Summer Treatment promotes further weed control, growth and colour during the driest and hottest time of year. Combined with regular watering, you’ll be surprised how green your grass can be during these months.
As temperatures start to cool, it’s time for the Autumn/Winter Treatment, from October to December. With the weather getting wetter, this treatment focuses on inhibiting moss growth while simultaneously strengthening the root zone so that it can survive the winter. It will also improve the colour of your lawn during these months.
Our Winter’s End Treatment will continue to treat any moss, help inhibit disease and will also green up your lawn during this period of slow growth.
The sooner you start lawn care services, the sooner you will have a healthy and thriving lawn that you can enjoy and be proud of all year round. So why wait?
Every lawn will benefit from annual Machine Aeration as it relieves the compaction that has formed over the year. Aeration offers air the chance to circulate, as well as enabling water to reach the grass roots, improving growth and preventing disease. This process also allows the LawnTreat fertilisers to penetrate below the surface level. Any cores resulting from the aeration process should be left as they will break up and provide additional nutrients to your lawn.
Almost all lawns will benefit from annual Machine Scarification as it helps control moss and remove thatch – a fibrous layer produced by grass clippings and other organic matter. Neglecting this process will lead to the lawn lacking essential water and oxygen, triggering disease and increased moss growth.
