Our friends over at Westland Garden Health have provided some great tips for reviving your perfect lawn after a drought. What happens to the grass in drought conditions? If you’re after a striped finish then a rear roller mower is recommended and the lawn needs to be mown up and down to perfect your stripes. This is because the roller flattens the grass so that it lays flat in the direction in which you’ve mowed. Finish the effect with clean sharp lawn edges using a half-moon edger. weeks after application, rake out dead moss. You can then re-seed the area with grass seed. How to use Application by hand A perfect lawn can instantly be ruined by messy edging. Use a half-moon lawn edger like the oneabove from Burgon & Ball and a pair of edging shears, and you can solve this in a flash. Be sure to collect up the trimmings afterwards to stop the cut grass and debris building upon the lawn.Like any plant, the key to healthy grass is taking care of the roots. Make sure the root gets maximum oxygen by doing all you can to improve drainage. The best way to do this is through aeration. If you are planning to lay turf, mid-March is the ideal time. Prepare the ground a couple of weeks before laying turf, using a product like Grow More Granular Fertiliser that has a balance of the major nutrients needed, allowing it time to work into the soil. Staining: Do not walk on the lawn until the product has been watered in and has fully dried, since moss killer can cause stubborn brown stains on clothes, paving slabs, etc. Brush off immediately if accidentally spilt. What about children and pets? Topdressing involves spreading a 1cm covering of material such as soil, sand or compost (or a mixture) evenly over the lawn. For a universal lawn dressing product, look for Westland Lawn & Turf dressing which is designed to improve the root structure, drainage and physical condition of your lawn. Leave the grass to grow. Longer grass will give shade to roots and encourage them to grow as well, so raising the height of the lawnmower is recommended.

You should avoid mowing your lawn during the winter months so as not to cause any damage. The cold weather will prevent your grass from growing, so any mowing of your lawn is not necessary. It’s best to wait until the beginning of spring to start cutting your grass. Use this time to clean and prepare your mowing equipment for the next season. If your grass is very sparse or worn, we recommend overseeding the whole lawn with Gro-Sure Smart Lawn seed. It contains a clever aqua gel coating that can absorb 400 times its weight in water to guarantee germination.

There are lots of options for mowers on the market from petrol, to electric and battery, from rotary to cylinder, and walk behind to ride on.

The summer months are the ones where we hope to relax a little in the garden, spending time enjoying the fruits of our spring labours and perhaps walking barefoot on our beautifully prepared, perfect lawn. It is also the season when the lawn comes under the greatest amount of stress.Reduced rainfall, rapid lawn growth, which uses up the nutrients in the soil and the increased presence of people happily trampling over the grass can all take their toll. Mowing, feeding and careful watering can keep your lawn at its best in summer. Use our easy-to-use spreader settings table to set Scotts® and EverGreen® spreaders correctly when using our products. Any other advice?Summer calls for a different type of feed to give your lawn the nutrition it needs. Choose a feed like Aftercut Ultra Green,which feeds and conditions grass from root to tip. It helps achieve rapid greening within days, at a time when the lawn can tend towards turning brown, prevents moss and helps create a stronger and tougher lawn.
