Frequently Asked Questions

In conjunction with the very latest agro-horticultural research London lawn care have devised a series of treatments, which when applied by our qualified staff will ensure that your grass has exactly the right conditions for a healthy green colour and a lush growth. For most of the thousands of treatments already undertaken, results are visible within 6 weeks.

 

Typical treatment programme

Whilst we treat every lawn treatment as bespoke, typically we recommend the core LLC service which consists of 4 seasonal applications of designer fertilisers and selective herbicibes; early summer, spring, late summer, and autumn. According to the condition and requirements of your lawn each application will include treaments for moss, weeds, thatch, insects and bare patches.

Spring:
March-April

This first treatment of fertiliser will give your lawn the right boost to start off a healthy growing season, plus an initial application of weed killer to stop early weed development.

Early Summer:
May-July

At this stage we recommend an application of a no-scorch fertiliser to maintain a lush growth and resistance against weeds. If necessary we will also apply a selective weed killer for the persistent weeds.

Late Summer:
July September

Once again an application of our slow release no-scorch granular fertiliser makes sure that your lawn is well-fed. It is also advisable at this time of year to check for insect problems and diseases, as well as applying any necessary weed controls

Autumn:
September – November

This autumn treatment of fertiliser makes sure that the grass plant is fit to cope through the Winter by feeding and strengthening roots in preparation for the months ahead.

Optical Treatments

Scarification:
Much more effective than lawn raking, scarification removes the surface thatch that is often the biggest cause of stress to your lawn. Once thatch has been removed water and nutrients can get right to the roots of your lawn helping to create that green carpet-like effect.

Hollow-tine Aeration:
A recommended winter treatment for lawns with a soil base of clay, this service eradicates the causes of moss and allowing us to create a better soil structure for your lawn. This treatment also minimises the effects of compaction and allows us to introduce the right ingredients for a healthy lawn at root level.

Special Events:
Want your garden to look tip top for a big day? Should you be planning a special event in your garden this summer then we can design a specific package in order for your lawn to perform!
