• May is a fantastic time to give your lawn the care it needs to flourish throughout the summer months. As temperatures begin to rise, the grass will start growing at a faster rate, and with the right maintenance, your lawn can look beautifully healthy.
•  It would make sense to take advantage of the wet weather to fertilise the lawn, and give it chance to recover from any wear and tear or spring renovations that may have been done earlier.
•  If you do fertilise your lawn, try using a slow-release fertiliser that will help keep the lawn green longer without too much top growth.
•  You should be mowing at least once per week ideally twice as we move into the peak growing period. Little and often is the key. Make sure you are not cutting off more than a third of the grass plant height at any one time
• Don’t forget to trim the lawn edges, as and when required, with edging shears to keep them looking neat and tidy. Bring your EDGERS in for a sharpen
• Look to pull up isolated weeds or carry out spot treatment with a proprietary lawn weed killer Note: make sure the weed killer is suitable for grass, otherwise, you will kill the grass as well as the weeds.
•  If you still have any moss in the lawn, it can be controlled with the use of Iron Sulphate, either in a liquid or granular form. This will turn the moss black, and then it should start to die off not long after. Afterwards, lightly scarify to remove the dead moss and allow the grass the chance to recolonise the mossed areas. You should be scarifying with your spring rake cartridge AT LEAST once a month.
• Please keep an eye on any seedlings and be prepared to water if we don’t get rain for a while. It doesn’t make sense to do all that work and then let the seed die.
