Lawn Treatments

If your lawn is not looking as green as you wish it may be time to consider some different lawn treatments including the use of herbicides and ensuring that you apply fertilizer on a regular basis.

Lawn Fertilizer

We do not advise using fertilizer with a very high nitrogen level as this often will result in the grass growing more quickly but with a inadequate root structure. A superior fertilizer will have a correct balance between nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and help the grass to grow strong, long roots. Organic lawn fertilizers slowly release nutrients into the soil, don’t result in over application which leads to brown spots and gives continuing release of all the needed nutrients which is a good deal better for your lawn.

It is not a good plan to use weed control products haphazardly all over the lawn as this only adds chemicals to the environment and is unwarranted. Buy a weed killer that is labeled as safe to use on lawns and use it as a spot weed killer only. Use a spray and direct at the weeds, not spraying around in other places. In April or May it’s a good idea to use fungus and insect control.

Grub worms (the larvae of June bugs) can be a problem in many areas and can cause brown spots to develop on your lawn. They can easily be dealt with by the use of a  granular insecticide that is applied to the lawn and watered in. They can be prevented by using insecticide earlier on in the year.

A healthy, thick lawn will be able to endure infestations of bugs a good deal better than a thin, unhealthy lawn! Stick to these lawn tips for a healthy lawn you are proud of.
