Lawn Treatments in Mold and Connahs Quay

In 2009 British football had a groundbreaking moment when Real Madrid poached Paul Burgess from Arsenal. Paul had arrived at the club in 1999 from Blackpool FC and rose to prominence at the age of just 21. He was at the top of his game during Arsenal’s Champions league campaigns in the early 2000’s and the European Champions league campaigns in 2008. It all led up to his dramatic move to the Spanish team in 2009.

If you are a football fan reading this, you are probably wondering who Paul Burgess is and why you don’t remember him ever playing for Arsenal. That’s because he didn’t!! He was a very important man in Arsenal’s history. He was their head groundsman! When it comes to turf management, just as important as the players is the quality of the pitch, and the UK excels in producing some of the top grounds people in Europe. To achieve the perfect pitch is a skill which takes years of experience and training.

While your patch of grass may be nowhere near the size of a football pitch, spending time ensuring it is in tip top condition requires a level of determination and focus that you may not have. That’s when LawnQuest can help. We provide a range of lawn treatments in Mold and Connahs Quay that are tailored to the needs of your lawn to ensure it is kept in great condition all year round.

While a grounds person caring for a football pitch works around the football season, the best time to start lawn treatments in Mold and Connahs Quay is in the spring just as the grass is starting to grow in March. A fertiliser with Nitrogen is a good option to use as it will encourage the grass to grow healthy and strong. Lawn treatments in Mold and Connahs Quay should then be applied at regular intervals throughout the year. We know exactly when to do this to maximise the effectiveness of treatments and use the appropriate type of fertilizer according to the time of year.

If you want to get great results with your lawn, Lawn Feed is the Answer!

Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink! That’s because the water is going on your lawn! Watering and feeding your lawn are two of the most important things you can do to help the grass grow strong and healthy. Giving the grass a regular application of lawn feed is an essential part of this.

Giving the grass lawn feed will make it grow more quickly but it will also do other vital things such as replace nutrients that can be washed away in the soil when it rains and lost when the grass is cut. Maintaining a good feeding routine also makes the grass thicker, stronger and healthier.

We tailor the type of lawn feed to what we think will best suit your lawn. As a result, sometimes we use liquid lawn feeds which are a great option as they start to work straight away and are less likely to burn the grass, but we also use granular fertilizers.

Moss Treatments in Mold & Connahs Quay

A lack of light in your garden, too much moisture, or compacted soil can all encourage moss to grow. While moss can be problematic, the good news is that the three main causes can be easily rectified. For example, cutting back trees to allow more light to reach your lawn and aerating it in order for the soil to have sufficient air.

We recognise that prevention is better than cure so as part of our moss treatments in Mold and Connahs Quay we look at ways to improve the soil quality to help the grass grow healthy. For example, we have the equipment to aerate the soil using hand operated spikers. Doing this relieves soil compaction, which will help the grass roots to grow and be strong.

If you already have moss growing in your lawn, we provide a range of moss treatments in Mold and Connahs Quay that work effectively to kill off the moss. We will apply a moss killer containing Iron Sulphate. The moss will turn black and then eventually brown and then can be removed after about 14 days. We will then scarify the lawn to remove the moss. If you scarify first, you risk spreading its spores creating an even bigger problem! That’s why it’s important to leave it to the experts.

As moss can be quite stubborn, it may take several moss treatments in Mold and Connahs Quay before it is completely eradicated. We always discuss with our clients what’s involved and what to expect, before we start any treatments. If you would like to find out more give LawnQuest a ring on 0800 112 3970.
