Lawn renovation

We specialise in repairing lawns that are tired and in need of renovation and are no longer meeting the client’s needs;

This is often due to the ingress of coarse wild grasses (such as cocksfoot and soft brome). The seed has usually been brought in by birds or the wind over a long period of time. These coarse grasses have a very deleterious effect on the appearance of the lawn as they are more vigorous than the amenity grasses used for high quality lawns and so they grow faster and create tussocky patches, especially in colder months or when the lawn is dry.

Where this is affecting a large area, it is not a major issue to repair the whole tired lawn.  We use herbicides in a targeted way to ensure that the weed grasses are completely killed so that they can’t grow back from the surface runners or roots.  The next step is to remove the bulky old grass material, including any thatch – we always remove this material from the site for the client.

We offer all-year-round advice and lawn care services aimed at making sure your lawn is kept in the best possible health. Firstly by assessing the health of your soil and where required making adjustments to the soil acidity which will help improve nutrient uptake and improve the soil microflora. We will also provide a programme for ongoing nutrition which will vary from season to season to take into account the seasonal weather and the lawn response.

Different soil types require different nutritional programs and Perfect ground Solutions makes sure that the programme used on your lawn is suitable for your soil type whilst also taking into account the weather at the time. This means that we will change programmes in hot dry spells or in seasons with above average rainfall.
