Lawn Treatments Buckley

One of the most iconic contributions that Britain has made in the world of Horticulture is the lawn. For centuries we have had a love affair with it. People the world over associate the English with sitting on a beautiful lush, green lawn, drinking tea and eating jam and scones. That’s because there is something quintessentially British about a well-manicured lawn and in the words of Carly Simon, “nobody does it better”. It’s lovely to look and lounge on.

Tracing the history of the lawn, they became popular in the 18th Century and were an integral part of the garden designs of the wealthy. By the 19th Century and with the development of lawn mowing technology, everyone wanted to have a lawn and nowadays a lawn is something we take for granted, and that most newly built homes will have. With that comes the responsibility to look after it and care for it to maintain its health.

Having lawn treatments in Buckley provided by LawnQuest is a brilliant way to ensure your lawn gets the correct levels of nutrients it needs throughout the year to ensure it is kept healthy. Nutrients need to be replaced, if not weeds, moss and disease will dominate.

We will put together a programme of lawn treatments in Buckley that are built around the needs of the grass and the soil throughout the year and that combines different nutrients such as phosphates and potassium to promote root growth in the Autumn with Nitrogen in the Spring.

You’ll Never Have a Gorgeous Lawn Unless You Give it a Little Lawn Feed

Although fertilizer is often called lawn feed, it actually isn’t! Controversial! Rather than food, lawn fertilizer products contain the basic chemical elements required by plants to make food, scientifically known as Photosynthesis, (remember that from your biology lessons?) When we mow our lawns, we remove masses of plant material and stored food which then means nutrients needs to be put back into the soil and this is when lawn feed should be applied during the summer months.

Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium are the three primary nutrients that your soil needs and they are in various types of lawn feed. Other secondary nutrients include calcium to help with plant cell structure, magnesium which is associated with plant functions and chlorophyll, and sulphur which helps with growth and resistance to cold. We apply treatments that include all these nutrients at different times of the year.

Get the Moss Out and Healthy Grass in, with Moss Treatments in Buckley!

Moss thrives in the Winter because it is suited to the wet, damp conditions that are typical at this time of year. This makes Spring the ideal time to treat moss when it could start to compete for space with the grass which has kick started its growth with the warmer weather. Giving your lawn a granular treatment that includes moss treatments in Buckley and a fertilizer will help to effectively eliminate moss but also help the grass roots grow strong and therefore more able combat any moss regrowth.

At LawnQuest we also like to carry out moss treatments in Buckley in the Autumn. It’s about being one step ahead. At this time of the year your lawn is recovering from the heavy usage it has had during the summer months and with the cold frosts of the winter to come, it’s vital that it is kept in good health. Moss control and scarification can help the grass to remain healthy. It also minimises moss growth over the winter so it’s less of a problem in the Spring.
