Lawn treatments

Spring Treatment 

Our first treatment of the year After the distress Winter imposes on our lawns. Spring becomes a key season in caring for them, helping to ensure a healthy lawn all year round. Healthy Spring growth is a key stage in the long term development of a healthy lawn.

Our treatment is designed to give maximum impact without causing excessive growth. It will feed the lawn slowly over the coming months, promoting stronger root growth and a thicker sward. Giving you a lawn which is healthy and full of colour.

Our Treatment Is

• Non-staining
• Granules invisible once settled to soil level
• Releases nitrogen when it’s needed

• Contains controlled release nitrogen to feed the lawn slowly

Is It Safe?

Yes it is safe for use on lawns where dogs, cats and children play.

Weed Control

The best time to treat the weeds is when they are actively growing. This way we have more of the weed leaf we can attack.

Here we will apply and application of our weed control to eliminate unwanted weed in your lawn. Making your lawn weed free and giving it a more pleasing appearance. 

Bio Stimulant

As well as a weed control at this time of year we also apply a bio stimulant to your lawn. This includes nutrients that are not normally applied with fertilisers. 

The Bio Stimulant conations a cocktail of natural plant growth regulators. The Bio Stimulant’s  natural elicitors trigger root development and this in turn can lead to improved nutrient uptake and a more healthy sward.

The Benefits

• Root growth stimulant
• Improved vigour of root and shoot growth
• Relieves turf stress
• Maintains vibrant and healthy sward

Hydro Aktiv 

The Hydro Aktiv treatment will improve the efficacy of the weed control and the bio stimulant by enabling it to be absorbed by the plant more readily.

It  will assist the grass plant to fully maximise the “Bio Stimulant” treatment and as we come into the summer months help the soil retain as much moisture as possible. Regular watering of your lawn will aid this process.

Is it Safe?

Once the weed control is applied then please keep children and pets off the lawn for at lease two hours to let the weed control dry.

Then it is safe for use on lawns where dogs, cats and children play. 

Summer Treatment

This treatment specially formulated for summer use when temperatures are high and rainfall is low. Again the nutrients are slowly released into the lawn.

Even if little rain is forecast you lawn still needs to be fed. It is essential for its sustainability, appearance and growth You should continue to water your lawn throughout the summer. Here we will spot treat the weeds that remain in the lawn.

Summer Conditions

Some of our summers have been extremely hot and the grass may go brown and dormant.

However as mentioned earlier the grass still need to be fed . In this situation we adapt our treatment so that we can continue to give your lawn the best treatment.

Winter Treatment

Our Winter treatment is where we toughen the grass for the winter months. This treatment also attacks the moss to reduce the chance from spreading. It also gives the grass a healthy green appearance.

Lawn Aeration Service

Green Mile Lawn Care in Farnborough, Hampshire offer a Lawn Aeration Service at all times of year. Aeration is an ideal lawn care treatment for lawns which have become compacted. Compaction results in poor drainage, poor absorption of nutrients and poor root development.

Why aerate a lawn?

Compaction causes the space in the soil to become small causing a reduction in the amount of air held in the root zone.

It inhibits drainage which causes shallow root growth this will reduce the drought resistance of the grass, and makes it more susceptible to disease.

The compactness of the ground could have serious impact on your lawn. The benefit of having Aeration is to improve routing to help produce a healthy drought resistant lawn.

It encourages the growth of micro-organisms which benefit the soil and aid thatch breakdown. Aeration also aids irrigation allowing the water to drain down to the roots of the grass and helps with surface runoff.

If carried out before Top Dressing, aeration will allow the dressing to reach into the holes created to improve the structure of the soil. Having your lawn aerated will assist you having a lush green healthy lawn.

When is it best to aerate a lawn?

Aeration can be carried out at any time of year depending on soil and weather conditions.
For the benefit of our customers Green Mile Lawn Care Ltd uses probably the best aerating machine for domestic use.

Green Mile Lawn Care Ltd can assess your lawn to see if it is compacted and in need of aeration as part of our FREE lawn analysis.

Aeration can be added to any of our Lawn Care Programs.

Lawn Scarification 

Green Mile Lawn Care in Farnborough, Hampshire offer a Lawn Scarification Service. Lawn scarification helps to promote strong root growth resulting in a thicker, lusher lawn. This is ideally undertaken early Spring for the best results.

Overtime your lawn will suffer from a build up of organic matter which will eventually form a thatch layer which lays on the surface of your lawn.

Overtime your lawn will suffer from a build up of organic matter which will eventually form a thatch layer which lays on the surface of your lawn.

Thatch mostly comes from grass clippings and any other dead or decaying mater. If this is allowed to build up it will become excessive and have a damaging effect on your lawn, as it will weaken the grass and encourage the growth of both weeds and moss.

Spring and Autumn are the ideal times to scarify a lawn

It is therefore important that the scarification of your lawn is only carried out at the appropriate time to enable your lawn to fully recover.

After scarification of your lawn it is the ideal time to overseed the lawn. Doing this will introduce more grass into the lawn, thicken the sward, reduce moss and reduce weeds.

At Green Mile Lawn Care Ltd we can advise you if your lawn needs scarification but most lawns will benefit from scarification at least every 2 -3 years depending on soil and weather conditions.
