Growth Retardants

If you are not one of those people who loves to mow the lawn a growth retardant is the ideal treatment for you. This is a liquid treatment which blocks the plant growth hormone, enabling energy to be diverted to lateral growth.

This will improve thickness and root growth, leading to improved drought tolerance and better colour.

This treatment is ideal for holiday times. If applied before you go away you will not be greeted by a jungle on your return!

Worm Cast Control

Worms are great for soil. They create large channels that encourage gas exchange and allow water and nutrients to penetrate deep into the soil. They also act as a little aerator benefiting the soil structure and they actually help to decompose thatch.

However they do cause problems when they surface, normally in the wetter winter months. They produce casts, which are little heaps of soil that have passed through the worm. These casts tend to smear on the lawn’s surface covering the grass beneath them and creating the ideal seeding ground for weeds and moss.

I can provide treatments which will not kill the worms but will encourage them to remain in the soil and carry on doing their good work.

Algae

During wet weather an area of exposed soil within a lawn may develop algae which looks like a green or blackish covering. Algae on a lawn are a symptom of poor drainage, or compacted soil.

Hollow tine aeration is recommended to reduce the compaction.

Lichens

Lichens found on UK lawns are normally greenish-black or greyish leaf-like structures that grow horizontally in the turf. Similar to algae, lichens are symptoms of poorly drained, compacted soil.

Hollow tine aeration is recommended to reduce the compaction.

Lawn Greening

There are times when you may wish your lawn to look even better: a birthday, wedding or even a BBQ. The weather and how the lawn is cut does have a big influence on how the lawn looks. I can provide a treatment that will enhance the colour of the lawn, this can work very quickly and provide many weeks of enhancement.
