Treatment Programme

The key to getting lawns into their optimum condition, and then keeping them that way is simple. Do the work at the correct time of year, with the best materials, equipment and techniques available. Below is an outline of how we spread the tasks throughout the year, to ensure that we are working with nature and the weather and not battling them!

Weeds

Along with moss, weeds are the greatest problem in lawns. We use professional products to control even the most stubborn weeds, with up to 3 applications per year.  All our weedkillers are ‘non-residual’ meaning there is no toxin build up in the soil.

Moss

Moss thrives in shade, areas of poor nutrition, waterlogging, compaction and very close mowing. Effective control requires a combination of mechanical and chemical applications.  Our very important winter treatment is aimed directly at moss control.

Fertiliser

To keep a lawn in good condition it is almost certain that a sensible application of well balanced fertiliser is required.  At Grasshopper we use the most modern materials available to ensure effective and safe application at all times of year, without resorting to excessive use of nitrogen.

Cultural Treatments

The removal of surface thatch with Lawn Scarification, and the use of Lawn Aeration to reduce soil compaction and sub surface thatch, are integral elements of Lawn maintenance.

“I admit, I was sceptical about how much good the Aeration done last winter would produce, happy to admit that it was well worth it. We are enjoying denser grass and much less moss this spring, many thanks”

“Just wanted to say how pleased we are with the lawn after you scarified it in the Autumn. Best thing we could have done! What an improvement. We now have lush green grass growing – much easier to mow properly and it looks great and feels better underfoot. Thanks guys!”
