Fred’s top tips!

Do not cut your grass too short

Mow little and often. Regular cutting will encourage new growth, reduce the risk of fungal infection and keep the lawn looking neat and tidy! Cutting the grass too short will put the plant under unnecessary stress, and in dry periods will cause the plant to dry out more quickly and go brown.

Water when your lawn needs it

Don’t let it dry out too much. During dry periods, if you use a sprinkler 2-3 times a week for a few hours at a time it will keep the lawn looking its best. Remember, a good soak 2-3 times a week is always better than a light sprinkling every day!

Occasional aeration is necessary

Bear in mind that even ‘normal’ use of a lawn leads to surface compaction. For a professional lawn, hollow tine aeration treatment is recommended every one or two years.

Keep an eye on moss

Moss is a sign that something is wrong with your lawn. Too often, gardeners attempt to kill moss in lawns without tackling the problem that actually causes it. Generally, lawns that are well maintained – which includes being well-fed, cut properly, scarified, aerated and not allowed to develop thatch – will not suffer from moss problems as much as a lawn that is just fed and cut.
