Great Grass Service

So how do you go about creating and nurturing a stunning lawn that looks its best all year round? 

The answer lies in carrying out a sequence of lawn care activities at key times in the gardening calendar. 

Here at Great Grass we use the knowledge and materials from the professional turf grass industry to give you a great lawn.

Its always the right time of year to start a Great Grass programme.

The Service

•  We survey your lawn and provide a quote

•  Feed your lawn - apply professional-grade fertilizers through the year

• Control weeds and moss

• Use specialist machinery to give your grass every opportunity to flourish.

• Provide advice on mowing and watering your lawn.

Just like other plants, grass requires nutrients in order to grow vigorously and healthily. 

Lawns benefit greatly from regular feeding which helps keep the grass growing strongly and ensures a deep green colour.

The Great Grass service includes the application of fertilizers used by turfgrass professionals, in many cases these will be controlled release products. 

To give the best results the fertilizers we use contain the correct balance of nutrients but at higher concentrations than the products that can be purchased in retail outlets.

Lawn weeds can spoil the look and enjoyment of a lawn, and ultimately the garden.  At Great Grass we use professional herbicides to control the full range of lawn weeds. 

These products are not be available from garden centres.

A symptom of poor grass growth, moss typically colonises any shaded areas of the lawn. It often appears next to walls, under trees and in areas where soil drainage is poor.  

To keep moss at bay, we supress it and then discourage it from returning by promoting good healthy grass growth.  Occasionally, there may be the need for us to identify and help manage difficult lawn pests and diseases.

.

To encourage the grass to grow, it is also important to create the correct soil conditions and to manage the grass to ensure that there is no build up of dead material (thatch) at the soil surface.  

To achieve this Great Grass uses specialist aerators and scarifiers

During the summer months it may be necessary to water your lawn.  Although not essential, you will undoubtedly get the best results if you do.  At Great Grass we can provide customers with irrigation equipment and advice on watering costs.  Click here for more information

Remember, it doesn’t matter what time of year you start a Great Grass programme as keeping grass in tip top condition is a year round activity.
