Questions about lawn care

Our lawn care treatment service works on the basis of applying essential treatments at specific times of the year. There is no particular time of year to start. We can improve the health and appearance of your lawn at any time of the year by applying the relevant lawn care treatment applicable to the current weather conditions and requirements of your lawn.

Our lawn care services can rescue even some of the most neglected lawns. Our service will gradually kill weeds and control moss and the conditions such as thatch and soil compaction that encourage moss and weeds. We have the experience, knowledge, products and equipment to ensure that we make the best out of your lawns. Many of the products we use are not available to the public or most general gardeners and the equipment we use is too specialised for the average gardener to own.

We do not seek to replace your gardener. We simply want to complement the mowing work he/she does by ensuring that the lawn receives the care and attention he/she may not really be qualified or able to provide without access to the products and equipment that Deep Green Lawns use. In fact many gardeners recommend our services to their customers.

You do not have to be at home we just need to have access to your lawns. At each visit we take into account the specific needs of your lawn, the weather conditions and apply the relevant treatment. We will also recommend any optional additional work as it is required. The majority of our customers are not at home when we call to treat the lawn. Since all our vehicles and operatives carry all that they require to treat your lawn we can carry out the treatment as long as we have access to the lawns. If you want to be in when we call at your home to treat the lawn, we will do our best to accommodate your request.

When we survey your lawns we also prepare a lawn care treatment programme. We recommend a six treatment lawncare plan that will ensure your lawn has the appropriate nutrients it requires throughout the year to control the weeds and moss and encourage healthy grass growth. We will help you decide what level of essential lawn care you require.

Any additional work such as scarifying, aeration, spiking, top dressing and seeding that your lawn may require from time to time is discussed with you, the customer.

Our prices start from just £15 but please contact us for a free lawn survey without obligation.

Many other lawn treatment companies do not have the relevant experience or qualifications that we have. Your lawn needs specific nutrients at certain times of the year, we use several different types of fertilisers and treatments according to the requirements of your lawn, time of year, soil type and weather conditions. Some companies use the same feed all year round, irrespective of the weather using high nitrogen.

We also pride ourselves with value for money treatments, which will help improve your lawn all year round. Some fertiliser will green up your lawn and give the impression it is healthy, however too much nitrogen will create thick top growth but neglect the roots, resulting in long term problems.

Depending on the weather, your lawn will start to improve within a few weeks.

Our treatment costs reflect the cost of the material used, the cost of getting to you and the costs of our employees. Consider how much it costs you to travel to and from the garden centre. There is also a significant difference in the products we use than the proprietary products from garden centres. At best most feed will last 3- 4 weeks, Deep Green Lawns fertilisers will last 10 – 13 weeks and they will not scorch your grass. We also apply the products ourselves, have a much bigger choice of specialised materials and are prepared to call around to re-apply if you are not happy with the results.

Lawns that have been scarified can take up to 12 weeks to recover and seed can take 6 weeks to germinate but this is all dependant on the weather! warm wet weather is needed for scarification recovery and seed germination but dry, warm weather, wet and cold weather will delay germination and prolong recovery. We encourage you to water your lawns during dry weather.
