Scarifying, overseeding and repair work that brings tired or damaged turf back to strength.
Scarify too early in spring and a winter-weakened sward can struggle for weeks. Here's how to time it right and set the depth to match the turf's actual condition.
September is your best window to overseed thin shady patches. Soil is still warm, shade-tolerant seed can establish now, but the window closes fast in shade.
Get the order right in autumn renovation: scarify, aerate, then overseed into open soil. High-nitrogen feed comes after seedlings establish.
Late August soil in the UK holds 15 to 18°C, giving grass seed the warmth it needs. Sow now and seedlings can establish before the first autumn frosts.
Mid spring overseeding works, but cultivar choice and proper soil prep make the difference when the existing sward is actively competing.
Most lawns show bare patches after winter. Rake out the dead material, overseed with a matched blend and protect until the grass knits in.
