LICHEN

What is lichen?

In biological terms, lichen is something rather fascinating: the result of fungi and algae forming a symbiotic relationship. As interesting as that is, lawn lichens, particularly dog lichen, result in an unsightly appearance and its presence can cause grass to wilt, discolour, or not grow. 

How Do You Treat Lawn Lichen?

The best way to treat lichen is to address its cause, which is usually a combination of compacted soil, heavy thatch, and poor nutrition in the lawn. We therefore recommend our multi-treatment lawn renovation programme to transform your lawn. This service removes layers of problematic thatch, relieves soil compaction, and adds nutrients back into the soil to help your lawn thrive and prevent further disease.
