Our Regular Treatment Plans
- At the heart of our programme are 5 regular visits per year.
- Each element is designed & formulated to work with the others, creating and maintaining a healthy lawn.

- Our aim is to promote sustainable lawn health, this means caring for the grass and for the environment in which it lives.
The importance of a quality maintenance routine
It is not possible to have a sustainably healthy lawn, if the soil it lives in is infertile and impoverished. A handful of soil fit for growing organic vegetables will contain billions of microscopic living organisms!
Putting traditional fertiliser on lawns only provides the desired results if the soil itself is a living environment capable of allowing the grass to harvest the nutrients in the fertiliser.
A good lawn maintenance routine should include some elements which look after the soil and encourage a healthy population of beneficial microorganisms.
If your Lawn has particularly challenging soil conditions, for example: the heavy clay prevalent in many new build gardens, it is possible to add a wide range of soil augmentation treatments to our regular programme.
Over time these can achieve sustainable improvements to the biodiversity and fertility of all soil types. However, there is no `quick fix` to improving seriously problematic soil under a lawn and embarking on this journey needs some patience and determination!
