As long as we have access to your lawn, we can complete the treatment whist you are at work or out and about. Of course, we will always contact you in advance so that you know when we are coming. And then leave a card so that you know when we have been.
Many of our treatments will begin to have an effect after just a few hours, especially our moss and weed treatments. But they will continue to effect your lawn for around two weeks after application. Of course, perfection does take time and we would expect your lawn to require a few treatments before being transformed. From then on, like any living entity, your lawn will require continuous care to ensure it stays strong and healthy.
Lawns are extremely proficient in turning carbon dioxide into Oxygen and so are very valuable to the environment. Also, your lawn is home to many different insects and in turn, they become prey for the birds in your garden.
With regards to weed killers, once your weeds are under control, we prefer to spot treat them so as to minimise our use or herbicides. We would much rather advise on cultural methods intitially before resorting to a chemical application?
We believe that for the best results you should always turn to a professional. We can analyse your lawn (free of charge) and advise on the best course of action. We will schedule in your treatements to ensure they're never missed and review your lawn and our strategy on every visit. We only use the finest products to ensure the best results and more importantly, we care!
We are a local, independent business based in Godmanchester, Cambridgeshire with the flexibility to use the products we think are right for your lawn. We don't have pressures to use specific products from a head office, a huge annual bulk buying contract with our suppliers or pay extortioante franchise fees. These factors mean that we can be compeitive on price whilst offering a service that far outperforms our competitors.
In short, we are only here to help you enjoy owning the best lawn you can!
We will contact you the week before we plan to treat your lawn. We then ask that you try to cut it around 3-4 days before we visit and again at least 3 days after we have been. This should ensure that the weed is exposed when we apply the treatment and that the product has the time to reach the roots and take effect.
Our annual treatment plans are for advice only and agreed with you before we begin. We want you to be completely satisfied with our servce and the work that we carry out and therefore you have the right to stop using our services at any time. We are confident that the effect that we can have on your lawn will ensure that you never feel the need to cancel. However, if you do and have paid in advance or monthly, we will calcualte the pro rata service suplied to you and adjust the amount accordingly.
We would strongly recommend away from re-turfing. Your lawn may be struggling for a multitude of reasons. It's always best to work out why first. Often re-turfing is just a quick fix and can be extremely expensive due to the work involved. Instead, we can renovate your lawn and reseed it so that it grows strong healthy grass. It does take around 4-6 weeks to grow, but when it does it can last a lifetime, as long as it's maintained and treated regularly.
We ask you to water the lawn every evening for 14 days for around 30-40mins, unless it rains. For the best results it is advisable to water the lawn first thing in the morning as well.
With regards to mowing, we simply ask you to mow it when it reaches 3-4 inches. But don't mow it too short! Simply cut on your lawn mower's highest setting, but mow as often as you can (twice a week is perfect). Then after three mows you can start to bring the cutting height down to a mid setting.
The lawn will be patchy to begin with, but over a few weeks with watering and frequent mowing, it will thicken up to a lush green, healthy lawn.
