It may not be Versailles, but you can have a Gorgeous Lawn with Lawn Treatments in Lymm

Lawns originally began as manicured green spaces. If you were an aristocrat or wealthy businessman living in 18th Century England, a grass lawn was the latest must have accessory. With the English Landscape Garden movement, it became an elite status symbol. Designers like Lancelot Brown, more widely known as Capability Brown because he told his clients that their property had “capability” for improvement, cultivated many open green spaces. Fast forward to the 21st century and having a garden is considered a necessity rather than a luxury, with most households having access to some private outdoor space. However, that space takes time and effort to look after, which most people haven’t got, that’s when LawnQuest can help.

We have a breadth of experience that we have accumulated over the last couple of decades. We will apply our knowledge and expertise to put together a range of bespoke lawn treatments in Lymm that work for your lawn. We will look at the type of soil and grass in your garden, soil moisture levels, and soil compaction, as these will all inform what lawn treatments in Lymm we decide to use. The health of the soil will impact the quality of the grass and how lush and green it grows.

Once we have agreed with you what lawn treatments in Lymm will be used, we will arrange to visit you 4-5 times throughout the year to apply the treatments. The products we use are the most up-to-date and effective available and are designed to ensure your grass will grow healthy and strong while also combating weeds and moss.

Help the Grass Thrive with Regular Applications of Lawn Feed

You could be forgiven for thinking that the best time to treat your grass with lawn feed is in the summer when it’s likely to be doing most of its growing. You would be wrong. The optimum time to apply lawn feed is in the spring. Why? It’s all to do with the soil temperature. Lawn feed works better and more efficiently in warmer soil, generally when temperatures are consistently around 46 degrees Fahrenheit or above. Without getting too technical, warmer soil increases microbial activity, which helps to break down nutrients, allowing grass to absorb them faster for rapid growth.

In early spring and in early autumn as the soil warms up and then cools down to the right temperature so the plant is ready to process the nutrients, making spring and autumn the best time to apply fertilizer. In the summer it can be too hot, or a lack of rain can cause the grass to become dormant, so it won’t absorb the nutrients, leading to wasted time and money. The same happens if you apply the fertilizer in the winter in cold soil.

The good news is that you don’t have to worry about soil temperatures or nutrient absorption. That’s for LawnQuest to do. We usually apply a high nitrogen feed when soil temperatures start to rise in March/April and a fertilizer in September/October to build root strength.

Stress Free Moss Treatments in Lymm

Trying to rid your lawn of moss can be challenging. You might have invested in some equipment such as a scarifier for raking the lawn to remove thatch or bought some moss killer but scarifying and applying moss killer has to be done at the right time of the year otherwise it can be a waste of time!

If you scarify your lawn at the wrong time of the year, can leave it looking like a ploughed field. That’s because it’s a very invasive process so scarifying when the grass is dormant or stressed in the winter and summer will leave it vulnerable and hinder its ability to absorb nutrients. It could potentially cause long-term damage or disease. To avoid stressing yourself and your lawn, leave moss treatments in Lymm to LawnQuest.

At LawnQuest we know when the optimum time is for applying a moss treatment in Lymm, as well as scarifying the lawn, raking it, and aerating it with a garden fork or hollow tiner if necessary.

It’s not just about getting rid of the moss but also maintaining the health of the grass so that the moss doesn’t return, so as part of our moss treatments in Lymm, ongoing lawn maintenance is essential. This includes applying fertilizers to help strengthen the grass to make it more resistant to moss.
