Aerating
Like you, your lawn and the soil under it need to breathe. Providing much-needed lawn aeration for your grass entails dealing with thatch.
Aeration will remove small cores from your lawn providing oxygen, nutrients and water to penetrate the root system. Immediately after aeration, we will fertilise and wetter soil your lawn allowing the nutrients from the fertiliser to infiltrate the lawns core through the openings created earlier by the aerator. We will then ask you to water your lawn soon after aeration and fertilisation. This helps the applied stimulant to work more effectively.
WHY SHOULD I AERATE, FERTILISE AND WETTER SOIL MY LAWN?
Over time, your lawn can become compacted from human activity, pets, mowing and growth. This can cause the soil to become compressed. As your lawn solidifies, it reduces the pore space within the soil so air, nutrients and water cannot enter the lawns roots. Grass roots require oxygen, and need to soak up the necessary minerals and water to stay healthy. If the roots don't receive these important elements, this can result in poor development and lawn deterioration. When aerating and fertilising your lawn, the roots receive everything they need to help your lawn to be as lush, green and healthy as you want it to be.

Lawnmowing
Regular cutting at the correct height is essential in order to achieve a good appearance of a lawn.
It will also help to deter weeds and reduce the need for vertimowing to be repeated too frequently.
The use of hybrid couches and similar grasses as home lawns means that turf management is now highly specialised and requires the expertise of a professional lawn mowing contractor.

Fertilizing
A lawn watered with scheme water needs to be fertilized regularly, making it more drought resistant, better able to withstand pests and diseases and less likely to become weed infested. Depending on the lawn and the season, fertilising should be at 6 weekly intervals.
Companies have developed lawn fertilisers suitable for today’s lawns and conditions with the environment in mind. Little and often with a good quality fertiliser will give you the best value as the lawn can use what you have spread. Excess will only be washed down the road or in the soil so far the lawn cannot reach it.
There are now special blends available for summer and winter fertilising, which help to control weed growth.

Soil Treatments
Some fungi produce a waxy material during the natural process of breaking down organic matter. This wax can coat soil particles, especially the large soil particles of sandy soils as well as some gravels. This wax coating then prevents water from entering the soil, a condition known as hydrophobia or water repellence.
Most of our sandy soils become water repellent as the weather warms up and the soil dries out. On a sloping site water may simply run off instead of soaking in. On a level site the water will pool and only soak in a few small areas leaving most of the soil dry. This is a very common problem in lawns where it leads to dry patches developing. Many people react to dry patches in their lawn, by applying extra water which, while it may eventually overcome the problem, also wastes a lot of water.
How to overcome the problem:
A far better solution is to apply a soil wetting agent which will allow the water to soak in where it falls.
Soil wetting agents are specially formulated surfactants which break down the wax barrier. They must be activated by water to be effective. In practical terms this means they should be watered in thoroughly immediately after application.
