Mowing, feeding and the routine care that keeps lawns and amenity grass healthy through the year.
When spring grass races ahead of your mowing schedule, the one-third rule protects your sward. More cuts, not harder cuts, are the answer.
Autumn leaves mat fast and block the light that October grass still needs. Clear regularly, mulch where you can, and put collected leaves to work as leaf mould.
Build turf root depth, adjust your feeding strategy and plan wear zones now, before summer heat and heavy footfall make repair much harder.
Soil temperature at 10 cm depth, not the calendar, is the trigger for your first spring fertiliser application. Apply before roots are active and most of the nitrogen leaches away.
