Our fertilisers are NOT just high boosts of Nitrogen. We buy in professional balanced feeds that vary in composition so we can pick out whatever is needed for your lawn and the time of year. The focus here is on long term health, where the lawns are treated to look good all year and grow properly from the roots up.
Lawn feed
Lawn fertilisers are applied correctly, evenly, and carefully dosed. They are chosen from a wide range of granular and liquid feeds typically supplied to the golf and sports turf industry in Scotland, as well as a large range of custom-made ones that I have had a manufacturer make up to suit the lawns in the area.
Mechanical lawn treatments
We use quality professional equipment and carry out both aeration and scarification at the correct times of year. In terms of aeration, the right method for your lawn is chosen from:
Hollow core aeration
Fracture aeration
Solid core aeration/spiking
They all have slightly different benefits and the right one/s for your lawn will be recommended.
Your lawn needs to be able to recover from work and it will not do this if scarified on a frosty January morning!
The process of hollow tine aeration with collection of cores
The benefits of aeration include:
- improved transfer of rainwater to the roots
- Air flow in the root zone increases which stimulates root growth
- Roots use the edge of the core to travel further down and access damper soils
- Compaction is relieved as the lawn expands to eventually fill the holes left
- Reduced puddling on the surface

Weed control
There are many weeds that grow in lawns and almost all disrupt the appearance of the area. We can apply professional selective weed killers in liquid form. This gives a much more even coverage than using granular products branded ‘weed and feed’ so your lawn will be completely and evenly cleared of non-grass species.
Top dressing
If required we’ll offer to include top dressing as part of the care plan. This material improves the soil surface over time, and allows new seed to bind to a soil substrate, greatly increasing germination rates
