LAWN TREATMENT PROGRAMME IN TONBRIDGE

Lawn Treatment Services in Tonbridge, Kent

To make marinating your lawn an easy task, we provide a 12-month lawn care routine tailored to your specific lawn. This routine consists of:

• LAWN SAND

We provide these services when the weather is warm, particularly in mid-March, although the exact time may vary depending on the weather. This is a vital lawn care service, given that lawn sand hardens your turf against diseases, provides your grass with nutrients, and helps control moss. In most cases, lawn sand comes with three different ingredients, sand, sulphate of iron, and sulphate of ammonia.

• SCARIFICATION

As aforementioned, scarification helps remove excess organic matter from the base of your grass and tidy up the lawn. The best time for this service is between March and October.

• SPRING FERTILISERS

Fertilising your lawn in spring is essential and provides optimum nutrients for a healthy, green lawn that thrives for the full 12 months of the year. According to our plan, we will spring fertiliser sometime in April. The exact time depends on how the rate at which the weather is warming up. We also ensure that we cut your lawn a few times first to ensure that the height of your grass won't prevent the fertilizer from reaching the soil.

• SELECTIVE WEEDKILLERS

When applying spring fertiliser, we may select a product with weed-killing properties, especially if we discover the growth of unwanted plants. We postpone this service for a later date if there's no weed, but not before summer.

We use weed killers between spring and summer since they are usually in their pre-growth season. When the weed killers are applied at this stage, it prevents them from sprouting, meaning you don't have to worry about weeds for a while.

• SUMMER FERTILISERS

We normally apply summer fertiliser 10 to 14 days after spring treatment. However, if the weather is extremely dry, we may postpone this service until the soil acquires a little moisture. This is because the salt content in fertilisers can exercibate the stressful conditions of your lawn. We can implement our summer drought-safe treatment if conditions don't change to favour your lawn. This treatment is formulated to ensure the effectiveness of the fertiliser during high temperatures and lack of rainfall.

• AUGUST LAWN WEEDKILLER
  

In Tonbridge, weeds don germinate in spring. They continue growing through summer, which calls for a second application of a selective weedkiller. This second application is necessary and helps prevent weed growth when your grass is undergoing some harsh conditions regarding the weather.

• AUTUMN SCARIFICATION
  

This second scarification service is called autumn or aggressive scarification. It's best done in autumn as your grass has a better chance to prompt recovery. This is because autumn is probably the only time of the year when the soil is warm and moist, which are the optimal conditions for the growth of plants.

• SEEDING
  

After the second scarification process, you may realize that your lawn has been left with thin and bare patches, especially if there was excessive moss infestation. To return your lawn to its pristine condition, we will provide an overseeding service. Depending on the extremity of the situation, we rake over the problem areas and create a seedbed. We will also use the best practices to ensure the grass grows fast and evenly.

• EARLY AUTUMN FERTILISERS
  

We see September as an ideal time for applying autumn fertiliser. Again, the exact time is dictated by the weather patterns. As a rule of thumb, we wait until the beginning of rain, which occurs towards the end of August and September. This way, we ensure that the soil is moist enough for the fertiliser to be effective.

• LATE AUTUMN FERTILISERS
  

Your lawn needs another type of fertilisation in autumn. This application ensures that your grass keeps growing, but at a slow rate and not so lush but still green. Your grass is usually put in hibernation to prepare your lawn for the winter. It also helps by building strong roots and enhancing the health of your grass, making it strong enough to withstand the extreme cold temperatures during winter. The best time for this step is towards the end of November before snow falls.

While people have their own routine of maintaining their garden, we probably have the Best Lawn Treatment Programme Tonbridge. Our routine is designed to prevent potential issues, to ensure your lawn remains healthy throughout the year.
