Lawn Treatments in Blacon and Saltney

Are you feeling a bit tired and lack luster after what seemed like no summer for 2024, with very little sunshine and warm weather? If you do, then you can guarantee that, if the grass in your garden had feelings, it would feel the same. That’s because the ground has taken a battering over the last few months, with unusually high amounts of rainfall and regular storms bringing with them strong winds. It’s no wonder that the soil and the grass need some tlc, and lawn treatments in Blacon and Saltney are the perfect way to do it. LawnQuest is here to help with this.

An integral part of lawn treatments in Blacon and Saltney is to feed your lawn. Giving your lawn a good mix of nutrients can help replenish what has been washed away in the soil from the heavy rains. A spring lawn feed will encourage leaf growth which will help the grass to be more robust against strong winds and an autumn lawn treatment in Blacon and Saltney will help to promote root growth making the grass hardier and better able to cope with cold weather in the winter.

LawnQuest provides a good all-round range of lawn treatments that ensures your grass and the soil it grows in, is in the best possible condition to withstand whatever weather conditions it experiences throughout the year.

Lawn Feed

With so many different types of lawn feed available it can be difficult to know which to use. Each lawn feed can contain a different mix of nutrients to give the grass what it needs for the different seasons. Some are quick release, some are slow release, some come in granulated form some are liquid! Rather than confuse yourself trying to work out what to use, leave it to LawnQuest. With our years of experience, we know what to use, when to use it and importantly what would be most suited to your grass, having assessed the condition of it.

With the treatments we use, tailored to the needs of your lawn, along with other steps we take to look after your lawn, such as the scarification and aeration of your lawn, we will keep your lawn in good health no matter what time of year it is, and how extreme the weather conditions might be. We just adapt the treatments accordingly.

Moss Treatments in Blacon and Saltney

Even with lots of care and attention lawns can still succumb to moss. While moss might not initially spoil the look of a lawn, in time it will start to choke out the grass and compete with it for water and nutrients. Unfortunately, there’s only ever one winner and it’s the moss. That is why moss treatments in Blacon and Saltney are so important.

To get rid of moss in lawns there are several things that LawnQuest will do to get rid of the moss. The first thing is to address the existing problem. That means raking up as much of the moss as possible and then treating what’s left behind with a moss killer. After 2/3 weeks the moss will have turned black and can be raked up and removed. This process might have to be repeated several times before all the moss in the lawn has been completely eradicated.

Of course, cure is better than prevention so there are steps we can take to reduce the buildup of moss again. Aerating the soil is something LawnQuest will do at various times throughout the year, usually in the spring and autumn. This helps improve drainage which moss doesn’t like. Cutting back trees and shrubs to ensure the lawn gets as much sunlight as possible and sowing shade tolerant lawn seed in shady areas will also help to limit the regrowth of moss. These are all the things that we can help and advise you on. To find out more give us a call on 0800 112 3970.
