Overview

  • Weekly mowing at a slightly higher blade height stimulates new shoot production for denser turf and removes weeds competing for resources.
  • Deep watering once or twice weekly encourages roots to grow deeper, enhancing the lawn’s resilience to drought.
  • Feeding with a liquid lawn fertiliser every one to two weeks sustains nutrient levels, with natural formulations also supporting biodiversity.
  • Overseeding bare or patchy areas in early June and pressing grass seed mix into the soil helps rejuvenate the lawn before hotter weather.
  • Aerating compacted soil, pruning overhanging shrubs to improve sunlight and planting native flower borders further boost lawn health and pollinator support.
