Sort Your Roots Out with Root to Tip Lawn Feed

Spending time out in the garden increases during the summer months and so does the wear and tear to the grass. As a result, a quality lawn feed is essential to give it the nutrients it needs to recover and repair. Choosing the right products can transform your lawn keeping it in tip top condition whatever the time of year and regardless of how much use it gets, however that’s easier said than done as there are so many different products available all claiming to be the best! With our years of experience treating lawns, LawnQuest knows what products to use and just as importantly, when to use them and the optimum time for applying them.

A good fertilizer will contain a combination of Nitrogen and Phosphorous. Nitrogen assists and encourages new grass growth and Phosphorous helps the grass to develop a strong root system which in turn helps the grass to become more resilient to changing conditions and the weather. Before deciding which lawn feed to apply, we will assess the type and quality of the soil in your garden, the conditions such as the amount of light and shade the grass gets as well as how much use your lawn gets.

In the long term, regularly applying a lawn feed will save you money. That’s because fertilizing your lawn not only helps the grass grow evenly but will reduce the appearance of weeds saving you the cost of weed killer.

It’s Not About Waving a Wand but Pushing a Scarifier as part of Moss treatment in Thornton Hough and Raby

When was the last time you experienced a thick layer of snowfall in the winter? Over the last few years winters in the UK have become much milder and wetter with very little if any snow. The problem is that these conditions are ideal for moss to thrive. The change in winter weather means that a shaded, damp lawn is the ideal environment for moss. Added to this, the soil is more compacted having had a lot of use during the summer months, so you have the perfect combination for moss to thrive. With up to 30 different species of moss the likelihood is that you will have at least one type of moss growing in your garden and that’s when moss treatment in Thornton Hough and Raby is needed.

The good news is that moss is treatable. With the right moss treatment in Thornton Hough and Raby applied to your lawn, combined with other processes carried out such as scarification, your lawn can be moss free. Admittedly, this takes time and effort, and it is not a quick fix, but if you start to address the problem as soon as you spot the first signs of moss, it can be removed. At LawnQuest we begin the process of moss treatment in Thornton Hough and Raby by raking up as much of the moss as we can (scarification). This can be quite effective as moss has shallow roots. We then apply moss killer which is left for up to 2 weeks. The moss will turn from green to black or brown which is an indication it has died off. LawnQuest will then return and rake up and remove the dead moss.

Once we have removed all the moss the next step is to stop it from coming back. The best way to do this is through an ongoing programme of lawn care to ensure that the grass grows vigorously. To find out more about this talk to LawnQuest today. We have all the equipment such as rakes and mechanical scarifiers as well as and a range of treatments needed to rid your lawn of moss!
