PROFESSIONAL LAWN MOWING & STRIMMING SERVICES  IN TONBRIDGE

Tell me more about the lawn care service you mentioned?

An optional extra – although highly recommended – is our lawn care service. Lawns are, clearly, alive (that's why they keep growing and growing and growing). But to stay in the best health, green, weed and damage-free, lush and so on they need some maintenance.

Lawn care supports the aims mentioned above.

We have a six step lawn renovation process for delivering the best lawn care regime, with each delivered once in the year. This process consists of;

· Lawn Feed, Weed & Moss Control fertilisation
· Aeration and/or Scarifying* (depending on what your lawn needs)
· Organic Starter fertilisation
· Overseeding to thicken lawns
· Top Dressing
· Lawn Tonic and/or a Lawn Conditioner

Don't worry if you instruct this work part-way through the year. We will undertake the treatments we can deliver this year and then the remainder at the right time next year. Ideally, we need to carry out all of these steps every year.

What do they mean? Moss growth can easily spread in lawns which also tries to supplant grass and is a reoccurring problem. We use a moss control product to target the moss growing in the lawn. This treatment will kill the moss and gently fertilise and feed the existing lawn. Knocking the moss back helps healthy grass growth.

The weed element knocks down weeds growing in your lawn which might otherwise crowd out grass.

Scarifying will pull up all the moss that has been killed in the first step. Aeration allows air and water to get into the ground, opening it up and encouraging healthy growth supported by the feed. 

We put down the organic fertiliser to feed and nourish the soil and prepare the ground to be overseeded. This treatment helps support and protect the grass through this challenging period.

Overseeding the lawn is a vital part of any lawn care process and this will help promote a healthy and thick lawn. Putting down new grass seed is called 'Overseeding'. The newly introduced grass seed can quickly colonise and establish itself in any gaps. The higher autumn rainfall nourishes this seed, so it has time to grow and develop 

Top Dressing the lawn will make sure the grass seed has the best start by ensuring good contact with the soil. 

We apply a lawn tonic and/or a lawn conditioner to nourish and protect the lawn, leaving your grass to flourish and develop as it should through the growth season.

How much does the lawn care service cost?

As all of our pricing, this is easy to work out and is very transparent. To work out the price, take the cost of the lawn mowing service provided for you and multiply it by 20. So, for example, let's say your lawn is 235 sqm. Regular lawn mowing is £21.50 because your lawn falls into the 151-250 sqm size. Multiply £21.50 by 20 and that gives £430.00. So, a one-off annual charge of £350.00 (for a lawn of this size) pays for the six step 'lawn renovation' process, to support the long term health and appearance. Please note: This does not include taking away of garden waste.

For prices, that's it. Our prices are simple, and we aim to be very transparent. We want you to know where you stand and what things will cost. We believe in offering fair and affordable prices for all customers. And we stick to the prices we have quoted.

One thing to mention is that we need easy access to all areas we are going to mow for you. We may have to apply additional costs if access is difficult or if the grass is over 6 inches tall, as this will take us longer to mow.

​Please bear this in mind if your grass has not been cut regularly before us stating delivery of the best grass cutting service for you. If the grass has got long, the first cut is likely to take longer and cost more. Our team member can tell you more when they visit.

OK, you've told me about your grass cutting professionals and the lawn care program. What else do I need to know?

Do you know how often your grass needs to be cut for its optimal health? For most lawns, this is once a week. Each blade of grass needs to be reduced by about 1/3rd every time. The grass's cut end produces a hormone that suppresses horizontal growth and stimulates growth near the roots. Treating it in this way means you get a thicker, healthier turf which also squeezes out weeds. You should never leave a lawn longer than two weeks.

Lawns which have not been cut often enough will be patchy and thin. If they are cut infrequently and then too much taken off at once, the lawn cover will be inadequate, with large gaps.

If you have these problems, regular mowing (and lawn care) will start lawn repair for you. Lawn repair is entirely possible, and you may be pleasantly surprised by how quickly we can have things looking better for you.

So, regular (ideally, weekly) mowing, by grass cutting professionals who know what height to set the mower blades at, will result in stronger, thicker and healthier grass. Also, treatment like this means fewer weeds and fewer patches.

You will quickly see more and healthier growth, and you will be able to feel the thicker grass underfoot when you walk across the lawn.

Regular cutting will also reduce the number of bugs in the lawn. Some of the bugs are pests that feed specifically on grass, sap-suckers and others. Frequent, accurate cutting will reduce the incidence of pests, so protecting the lawn.

Strengthening the lawn by regular cutting (which encourages thickening and growth near the root) means that a regularly cut lawn will recover from a cut more quickly than a lawn mowed infrequently and which has been allowed to get too long.

Is it OK to leave grass cuttings on the lawn?

Not only is it OK, but experts recommend it. As the lawn clippings decompose on the lawn, they release water and nutrients back into the soil and right to the grass's roots on which they are resting. These nutrients will also help the grass grow thicker, greener and healthier - a beneficial mulch.

Sometimes, people are concerned that leaving grass cuttings on the lawn will contribute to 'lawn thatch', but this is not so. Lawn thatch is dried out material beneath the growing grass and on top of the root. The material on the root is tougher than grass clippings and does not break down as readily. Lawn thatch is not caused by leaving grass cuttings on the lawn.
