Striped Mowed Lawns

Fertilisation

The experts at Brock Gardens know that the grass plant benefits most if it is fertilised in useable amounts, several times a year.

In the same way that you would not feed a pet huge amounts of food once a month, it is not in the best interests of the grass to provide an excessive amount of fertiliser once or twice a year.

Aeration

Aeration is a very effective mechanical action that will benefit all lawns.

Does your lawn suffer from any of the following?

• Compaction
• Excessive thatch
• Poor drainage
• Moss

Aeration will almost certainly help alleviate these problems and will also allow for nutrients, water and oxygen to penetrate into the root zone. This process then allows for deeper root growth into the soil ensuring strong healthy plants at all times!

Scarification

Scarification is the mechanical process used to "scrape up" dead moss that has previously been treated. It is also used to "comb out" heavy thatch from a lawn. Too much thatch will prevent moisture and nutrients from penetrating the soil and reaching the root system.

We take care to remove as few healthy plants as is possible during the process; however the process may result in a need for over seeding in some areas. Scarification is an intense treatment which requires specialist equipment but in many instances the process is essential to changing the consistency of the turf. We will be pleased to advise the best time for the scarification of your lawn if necessary.
