Autumn Lawn Treatment

Autumn Lawn Treatment

Lawns give us many years of loyal service and ask for very little in return. We cut them to within an inch of their lives and walk all over them without a care.

Treat Your Lawn

  • Pick up Autumn leaves before they start to rot on top of your lawn. Compost them separately if you expect a lot of leaves.
  • Apply an Autumn feed which aims to boost healthy root growth to last through winter like Levingtons Evergreen. This is rich in potassium to help roots and lighter on nitrogen.
  • Raise your cutting blades as the soils is wetter and the dew heavier.
  • Apply a moss killer before scarifying if you are troubled with moss
  • Repair any edges or bald patches
  • Aerate your lawn by scarifying, spiking or hollow tining. Scarifying also removes the brown thatch around the roots that has built up during summer
  • Top Dress the lawn with a mixture of two parts sharp sand with one of fine soil.
