Greensleeves Leicester East

Welcome to Greensleeves Leicester East and thank you for visiting our website.

We are a family run business who want to work with you to achieve the lawn you desire. We are fully NPTC qualified and would be delighted to visit and provide you with a free, no obligation quotation to discuss the current condition of your lawn.

My Top Tips:

• Do not cut grass too short – mow little and often. Because you are regularly cutting off the leaves of the grass plants, the lawn has to be helped by feeding.
• Water when the lawn needs it. Don’t let it dry out too much it will stress out and suffer.
• Don’t let weeds compete with the grass in your lawn, they will win.
• Occasional aeration is necessary. Bear in mind that even ‘normal’ use of a lawn, leads to surface compaction. For a first-class lawn occasional aeration is necessary.
• Moss is a sign that something is basically wrong with your lawn. Too often, gardeners attempt to kill moss in lawns without tackling the problem that causes it. Generally, lawns that are well maintained (which includes being well fed, cut properly, scarified, aerated) will not suffer from moss problems.
