Fences and Sheds are made of wood. If you don't protect wood it'll turn grey in the sun or rot in the rain. At best, it won't look good. At worse, it'll collapse. That's why you need to protect it.

Get ready for the summer while your lawn is still damp and workable.

Lawn Aeration

• Reduces the compaction of the soil.
• Encourages healthy root growth.
• Increases root depth.
• Improves drainage.
• Helps lawns become more drought resistant.
• Reduces water runoff.
• Helps to break down thatch.
• Allows water, air and nutrients to have direct access to the root system.
• Makes it easier to over-seed your lawn.

Lawn Scarification

Scarification is a very important lawn operation and should only be completed with a professional machine. A scarifier is a powerful machine that removes the thatch layer, organic matter and debris between the lower leaf level of the lawn.

Scarification is not designed to remove all the moss from a lawn. However, scarifying will remove moss to a certain extent. But to use a machine solely with the intention of fully removing moss may cause unavoidable damage to your lawn.

The action of the scarifier will loosen moss, and during the process and for a few days afterwards, it will allow it to come to the surface.

The removal of thatch build-up is the main objective of scarification. The removal of this layer helps to reduce the build-up of moss in a lawn, therefore helping the lawn to recover to its peak condition. Avoiding scarification allows the thatch and debris level to increase, which can lead to further problems such as outbreaks of turf diseases and waterlogging.

Overseeding

Over-seeding is one of the most important lawn care applications, but few lawn companies provide it. The main reason for this is because they believe that if a lawn is being fertilised, then it will not require over-seeding.

Some premier league football pitches are replaced every season, even though they appear to be in good condition after regular use.

The reason why they are replaced is because after approximately five to six years, the grass plant reproduction rate slows down, therefore as the grass ages, it becomes tired. Thin grass then attracts weeds, making the pitches look more unattractive. Younger seed types and better quality cultivars are therefore essential for higher quality lawns.

Annual over-seeding compensates for the natural slow-down of the turf’s reproduction rate. The major benefits of over-seeding your lawn annually are that it ensures your lawn stays thick and dense. Areas that have become sparse will become thick and lush again. Thick grass will have fewer weeds, providing that it is cut at the correct height. The second benefit is disease resistance
