Lawns still need nutrients going into the winter months, but in a slightly different proportion compared to the spring and summer.

A typical autumn feed will contain a lower level of Nitrogen, Phosphate and Potassium.

✅ Nitrogen is used for leaf growth which should be slowing up and growing less vigorously. We don’t want to encourage any excessive growth before winter!
✅ Phosphate is needed for strong root growth
✅ Potassium acts as the anti-freeze and provides reliance to the leaf

And not forgetting…
✅ Magnesium for that rich dark green colour without any excessive growth
✅ Iron to harden the grass and to dehydrate any early moss that develops

Autumn feed can be applied as granular product, but we find that a liquid is more accurate and more effective at greening up the lawn as well as controlling any moss.

Have you applied an autumn/winter feed onto your lawn yet?

Aeration is one of the best ways to improve the health of your lawn. Over time, soil becomes compacted, restricting the movement of air, water and nutrients to the grass roots. Aeration relieves this compaction by creating small holes in the soil, encouraging deeper, stronger root growth, improving drainage and helping your lawn become healthier, thicker and more resilient to drought and heavy use.

Still progress to be made but look at the transformation in just short of 4 weeks.

Well this was a slightly different renovation. This lawn backs on to a field and has been invaded by field Volves. A tiny little creature can cause a heck of a lot of damage through entry holes & travel routes.

Raven Environmental Pest Control are working on the pest problem whilst we have been renovating it.
