One of our local customers Mrs W joined us in 2020, just before the pandemic struck. This meant a bit of a delayed start whilst we checked government guidance about continuing our work. Our regular treatment programme of fertiliser, weed and moss control is all this lawn has needed to thrive.
Lawntech’s comments about this lawn
This small lawn is looking great. Sometimes very small lawns can be challenging due to the high volume of foot traffic in a very small area, or even the much-needed regular mowing that can cause compaction during the year. This lawn has responded extremely well to our annual lawn care programme which includes organic based fertiliser, selective herbicide and autumn and winter moss control over 5 regular visits throughout the year. Most of our customers, with lawns large or small, have this annual lawn care programme.
To ensure this lawn thrives in the future our technician will be checking for compaction and thatch, he may well recommend the occasional scarification or aeration. Sometimes on these very small lawns our customers can do these mechanical treatments themselves, the aeration could be done with a garden fork by making lots of holes a few inches apart, the key thing is to aerate as deep as possible by getting the fork into the soil at least 4 inches deep, this is good exercise but can be a bit tiring! The scarification can be carried out by hand with a spring tine rake to scratch the thatch out before it is cleared away onto the compost heap.
