Professional Lawn Care Services in Farnborough

Lawns accumulate organic matter, which is made up of grass clipping, leaves, plant debris and dead grass. This thatch builds up over time and if not removed it causes problems such as patchy and mossy lawns that are not drought tolerant. Lawn disease is also promoted by the build up of organic matter on a lawn.

Preventing weed growth can be challenge, but the key is to tackle the conditions that are promoting the growth of the weed. A weed control plan may be required for persistent perennial weeds. Weeds will grow where there is space in the lawn, so it is vital to have a thick, dense sward to reduce weed growth. Common annual weeds can generally be removed with a hoe, however you need to be careful not to spread ungerminated seeds. A weedkiller treatment is a more effective and less arduous option. Greenmile Lawncare offer 3 weed control applications throughout the year to keep weeds at bay.

Top dressing a lawn will help to improve drainage after lawn aeration as the sandy mix of top dressing will work down into the holes created. Top dressing also improves drought resistance by filling these holes and regular applications will help to break down thatch as it will aid decomposition which results in a natural breakdown of the thatch.

There are some lawn treatment companies who do not have the relevant experience or qualifications that we have.

Too much nitrogen will create thin top growth and neglect the roots, resulting in long term problems.
