This can be the most important time of the year for lawns. Weak grass will allow weeds and moss to take hold. Healthy grass will limit their development. There is plenty of moisture about and the ground is starting to warm up. The grass plant responds by growing vigorously and requires the right amount and mix of nutrients to encourage the grass to take advantage of the growing conditions and enable it to grow and develop including:

• Application of specialist fertiliser
• Treatment and removal of moss and weeds, including daisies, clover & dandelions
• The long term development of a greener, vibrant, healthy lawn

Application of slow release, non-scorch fertiliser in liquid or granule form to encourage thick healthy growth in the grass. We change the balance of the nutrients in this feed increasing phosphorous and potassium and decreasing the nitrogen content as the demands of the grass plant change. There is sufficient nutrient in the fertiliser to nourish the grass for up to 8 – 12 weeks. Our granule fertilisers are slow release and do not have to be watered in. However if the lawn is dry watering in will produce quicker results. A summer application of a broad spectrum systemic liquid herbicide is used to control both common and some of the more difficult weeds such as speedwell, trefoils and clover.

An application of feed containing essential trace elements combined with a very heavy dose of moss control. It is vital that moss spores are controlled and not allowed to develop in your lawn. Heavy moss will be controlled by our moss treatment but as the dead moss plant does not decompose easily the lawn may require scarifying to remove the dead moss and thatch from the lawn to create space to allow grass to regenerate. Over seeding with grass seed may also be required depending on the amount of moss in your lawn. At this visit Vibrant Lawn Care will also check for any insect damage or traces of lawn disease.

From time to time it is recommended that your lawn would benefit from certain other key treatments. We provide you with a regular update on your lawn and only recommend other treatments if they are necessary and essential to the health and appearance of the lawn.
