Greenfeet Lawn Revamp:
Considering the Greenfeet Lawn Revamp, this consists of Greenfeet cutting away the thatch with a sod cutter, tiling the lawn vigorously, adding in new topsoil and reseeding and apply with a High P Fertilizer for speedy establishment, at this point we can introduce new lawn cultivars / seed and you will notice an improvement in the colour, less drought and disease. Note all you need to do it keep the lawn damp once a day and after 10 – 14 days you will see nice healthy lawn.
New Lawn Construction
If your lawn is old, severely compacted and has drainage issues, it may be more beneficial to do a new Lawn construction. This would create a beautiful lawn from scratch and be more cost effective in the long term. What we do is burn off the existing lawn, till and prepare a seedbed and offer a different range of grass seed types. Or if you prefer a sod option, we grow our own sod range for an instant lawn. A new lawn will require help to grow, it’s essential that new seed or sod get enough moisture to help the plant germinate as quickly as possible to produce a nice dense green lawn.
Bare Areas in your lawn can be caused by:
· Excessive wear from pets and human activity.
· Dog Urine.
· Leaf contamination from Winter.
· Objects lefts on lawn for ling time.
· Drought Stress.
· Spillage of chemicals – i.e oil, petrol.
· Builders rubble just under the surface – no root activity.
Bare areas in your lawn can appear for a number of reasons, and when they do, it is always advisable to repair them. You could consider re-seeding, or turfing bare patches.
Lawns that have developed discrete areas of poor growth, perhaps from physical damage or wear and tear, should be repaired.
Lawns that are generally poor, weedy, or sparse will benefit from our lawn maintenance program. If the lawn is really bad, then total re-laying or re-seeding should be considered, when we call out we can advise you on this.
Spring or Autumn is the best time of the year to repair lawns, when the weather is damp and cool, as the lawn is most likely to recover well in these conditions.
