🍂 AUTUMN LAWN RENOVATION – GET YOUR LAWN READY FOR WINTER 🌱

After an exceptionally dry August, many lawns have really taken a beating this summer. ☀️🥵

Scorched, dry, patchy and tired-looking grass is something we’re seeing a lot of at the moment — but autumn is the perfect time to bring your lawn back to life before winter sets in.

Our autumn lawn renovations can include:

🌱 Scarifying to remove dead thatch and moss
🌱 Aerating compacted soil to improve drainage and root growth
🌱 Overseeding thin and damaged areas
🌱 Applying the right lawn feed to encourage healthy growth
🌱 Restoring colour, density and overall lawn health

Getting this work done now gives the grass time to establish strong roots before the colder, wetter months, helping it come back thicker, healthier and greener next spring. 💚

If your lawn has suffered from the dry weather this summer, don’t write it off! A good autumn renovation could be exactly what it needs.

🛠️ Another garden transformation completed by Smith's Lawn & Home Maintenance! 🌿
A great project from start to finish.
This garden had a steep, untidy bank that wasn't making the best use of the space. We transformed it by building a pressure-treated timber retaining sleeper wall, then added a rustic natural stone retaining wall behind it to create a strong, attractive feature that blends perfectly with the garden.
The result is a much cleaner, more usable space with a finish that's built to last.

Out with the old, in with the solid 💪
Stripped back a tired shed roof, re-boarded with fresh plywood, and finished with new felt for a watertight, long-lasting finish.
Also swapped out 2 worn fence panels to tidy things up and add some strength back to the boundary.
