Moss, excessive thatch, bare patches, lawns that are more weed than grass are problems that we encounter and remedy on a daily basis. Sometimes, lawns need aggressive work initially, to kick start their recovery and health. All lawn care is a long term ongoing process, however with lawns in a particularly poor condition, a harsh repair and renovation, help bring the lawn up to speed. Here, at Michelle’s Garden Care, we are Lawn Renovation experts.
What is Lawn Repair and Renovation?
Even well looked after lawns, in perfect growing conditions (no trees casting shadows and no drainage issues, with good soil) occasionally need an overhaul, to remove any surface matter, such as moss and thatch. This organic matter, naturally builds up over time and blocks the lawn from oxygen – the most important nutrient.
Our Lawn Repair and Renovation service, includes Aeration (using large machines to manually remove cores of matter from the lawn, to help relieve compaction) and Scarifying (heavy duty, powered raking) and Overseeding (spreading grass seed)
While some people own a lawn rake, this can’t be compared to scarifying using professional equipment. Our professional petrol scarifiers reach deeper into the subsurface of the lawn, to penetrate the thatch layer that sits beneath the lawn roots, in turn removing much more of this thatch build up. And our aerators remove deep cores from the lawn, completely different to using a garden fork to make holes in an attempt to provide aeration. Scarifying and aerating, with our professional equipment, provides the best possible conditions for grass seed to germinate, and to the overall health of the lawn.
