Cambridge Lawncare

Our full range of lawncare and lawn treatment services are available in Cambridge, and surrounding areas.

Improve Your Lawn

Cambridge and its surrounding area contains a diverse range of `lawn habitats` the many newer built properties tend to have special challenges due to the predominance of shallow topsoil layers often directly above boulder clay.

Over time this less than ideal environment for grass can be improved with frequent aeration and top dressing. Lawns in Cambridge itself are often hit fairly hard and early with dry conditions in the summer months but if mowing is done considerately (i.e. less often and with higher blades) recovery tends to be strong.

Our clients in the Cambridge area are as diverse as the area itself and include many lawns which would be the envy of even the most critical gardener.

Weed Control

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 Control

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 Treatments

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

Lawn Scarification

The removal of surface thatch with Lawn Scarification helps to improve access to vital nutrients and water, and can help to deter moss growth.
