Lawn care latest
In order to get your lawn in shape ready for whatever the coming months throw at us, you should be considering the following, depending on the state of you lawn:
Spring Care
Applying a moss treatment if this is a problem
Scarifying/raking your lawn to remove debris and any moss that has been killed off following any treatments.
After raking, cut your lawn - remembering not to take too much off - no more than a third of it's total height. If you do this before it is too long, it will be easier for you (don't mow in wet or frosty conditions though). If it is really long you may have perform several cuts over several weeks to get it as short as you want.
Aerating the turf to remove compaction/open up the soil and improve perfomance.
Applying a spring feed to give your lawn a boost and give it a good start to the year.
Get rid of any weeds before they establish themselves with suitable treatment or remove by hand if there are only a few and you are feeling energetic
Worm casts can provide ideal growing grounds for weeds in your lawn - wait until the weather and the casts are dry and simply brush them so that the soil is spread into the turf.
Frost - it is always advisable to avoid damaging the grass by walking on your lawns when there is frost, snow or ice around.
Maintenance. Remember to get your lawn mower serviced and blades sharpened - dull blades tend to tear the grass causing the tips of the grass to go brown.
