Lawn treatment and new turf in Lincolnshire

Lawn treatment and new turf: the basics

What the job involves

Lawn treatment companies feed, weed, scarify and aerate lawns on a seasonal programme, and treat moss. For a new lawn, a gardener or landscaper prepares and levels the soil and lays turf or sows seed, then advises on watering until it establishes.

What to ask a pro, and what to have ready

Say the lawn size and what is wrong with it (moss, weeds, bare patches, waterlogging). Ask what products they use and whether pets and children need to stay off afterwards, how many visits a year, and for turf, whether they prepare the ground and remove the old lawn.

Safety and good to know

Anyone applying professional weedkillers must hold the relevant certificate of competence. New turf needs daily watering in dry weather for the first few weeks. LincsDirectory doesn't vet or endorse businesses — always check credentials and get a written quote.

Good to know

moss thrives where grass is weak: shade, poor drainage, compaction and low fertility. Scarifying and aerating in autumn, feeding in spring and letting the grass grow a little longer in shade all help. For a new lawn, ask whether the ground will be levelled and whether old turf and stones are removed first.
