Question 1

How often should I mow my lawn?

Accepted Answer

During the growing season (March to October), we recommend mowing weekly. In spring and autumn, you can get away with fortnightly cuts. In summer, weekly mowing keeps the lawn healthy and tidy.

Question 2

When is the best time to scarify my lawn?

Accepted Answer

Scarifying is best done in early spring (March–April) or early autumn (September–October). These months give your lawn time to recover and regrow before extreme weather kicks in.

Question 3

Do I need to water my lawn?

Accepted Answer

In dry spells, yes. A good soak once or twice a week is better than a light sprinkle every day. Early morning is ideal — it helps the water reach the roots before the sun evaporates it.

Question 4

Why does my lawn have moss in it?

Accepted Answer

Moss thrives in damp, compacted, or shady lawns — especially if the grass is weak. Aeration, scarifying, and regular feeding help reduce moss and boost lawn health.

Question 5

Is it worth overseeding every year?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Overseeding thickens up your lawn, fills in bare patches, and helps crowd out weeds and moss. It’s a great way to refresh the lawn after scarifying or aeration

Question 6

How does topdressing benefit my lawn?

Accepted Answer

Topdressing levels out uneven areas, improves drainage, and feeds the soil. We recommend doing it after aeration or overseeding for the best results.

Question 7

Do I need to fertilise my lawn all year round?

Accepted Answer

Yes — regular feeding is essential for a thick, healthy lawn. That’s why we’ve developed our own fertiliser brand, LawnFuel™, designed specifically for British lawns and timed perfectly with our treatment schedule.

Our programme includes:
 • 4 granular seasonal feeds (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter)
 • 8 Liquid-X treatments, our liquid fertiliser blend packed with nutrients, seaweed, iron, wetting agents and bio-stimulants
 • 2 selective weed control applications to keep unwanted growth under control

These are delivered across 8 visits, totalling 14 individual treatments — all designed to feed your lawn consistently, boost its resilience, and keep it looking its best all year round.

Question 8

What’s the best way to deal with weeds?

Accepted Answer

We spot-treat weeds as they appear using selective herbicides that won’t harm your grass. Consistent mowing and feeding also help prevent new weeds from taking hold.

Question 9

Why does my lawn go brown in summer?

Accepted Answer

It’s usually drought stress. Lawns naturally go dormant in hot, dry spells. Regular feeding and deep watering help reduce browning and speed up recovery.

Question 10

Is it possible to cut my lawn too short?

Accepted Answer

Yes, cutting your lawn too short can weaken the grass and invite weeds. We recommend you cut no more than one-third of the grass height at a time, keeping it around 25–40mm for a healthy lawn.

Question 11

Does my lawn die or just go dormant during a drought?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, your lawn goes dormant, not dead, during a drought. Dormancy is a natural defence mechanism where the grass turns brown and stops growing above ground to preserve energy, but the roots stay alive underground. Most lawns recover quickly once moisture returns. However, in long, extreme droughts, sections of the lawn can die, especially in newer or weaker areas. We monitor lawn conditions during hot weather and adapt treatments to help your lawn recover quickly.
