Starter Lawn Care
Treatment Programme
If you have more than one lawn at home that you would like treating, simply add the sizes of each lawn together and use their combined their
square meter area to find out the correct price above.
We base our prices on your total area of lawn you wish treated at your property, not for each separate lawn.
Our Starter Lawn Care Treatment Programme delivers a Spring or pre-season lawn feed fertiliser followed by a selective weedkiller spray 4-6 weeks later to reduce the number weeds in your lawn. Our Spring/pre-season fertiliser releases its nutrients into the lawn over 3 months, then after those 3 months, we return and apply a Summer Fertiliser which is specially formulated to make your lawn look great just at the time you are likely to use and view your it the most.
We will make 3 visits to your home. During our first visit we shall apply a specially formulated slow release Spring Fertiliser, which over a period of about 3 months will release nutrients into your lawn helping to build strong roots and healthy green leaves.
About 4-6 weeks after out first visit, we will make our second visit and spray a liquid selective weedkiller on your lawn that will kill weeds not your grass. We wait this amount of time to allow the weeds to also benefit from the lawn fertiliser we applied, as for best results, we actually want the weeds to be actively growing and have healthy leaves. This is because the Professional Selective Weedkiller we use when applied with a pressure sprayer, is designed to be absorbed through the leaves and then drawn down into the roots where it effectively kills the whole weed. The weed and any remaining weedkiller then naturally bio-degrades into the soil. This is unlike many weedkillers you can buy from a garden centre which appear to kill weeds quickly by turning the leaves brown, but often leaves the roots intact, allowing the weed to recover and re-emerge a few weeks later.
Because we want the leaves of the weeds to be healthy and intact, we will need to time our visit so that the lawn hasn't been cut within the previous 7 days. If you are a regular grass cutting customer, we will take care of the timing for you. If you cut your own grass, we will need to coordinate the date of our visit with you. The lawn will also need to be dry for best results, with no rain forecast for at least 6 hours after application. As such, we will normally arrange a 'back up' date with you just in case the weather isn't suitable.
Then, depending on the timing of your Spring Fertiliser application, we will make a third visit to you around June/July to apply our Summer Fertiliser, which is specially formulated to give your lawn everything it needs to look great just at the time you are likely to use and view your lawn the most. During this visit we will also apply our Oasis treatment. This is a lawn soil improver that helps improve water penetration and the movement of water in your soil. It enables the soil to better absorb and keep hold of water, rather than have it run off or pool in one area. This is especially beneficial for lawns during the dryer summer months allowing the reduced rainfall or water you apply to your lawn to be drawn down into the soil and into the roots where it's needed, rather than just run off and be wasted or create boggy areas.
The application of both a Spring and a separate Summer Fertiliser helps ensure that your lawn receives the right amount of essential nutrients it needs throughout the whole of the main growing season.
If your lawn is a bit threadbare, has bald patches, or if you are simply looking to thicken up your lawn for a more luxury look and feel underfoot, we also provide over-seeding with a top quality grass seed specifically suited to your your garden's condition, as well as top dressing with compost and/or top soil to enable the seed to have the best germination conditions to give you a great lawn.
