Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to be at home when treatments are carried out? No, as long as we have access.
Will you collect and dispose of grass cuttings and waste? Grass cuttings can be left neatly on site, in a compost heap, black bin liners, or most commonly placed in your brown bin, or removed for an additional agreed fee. Disposal arrangements are confirmed before work begins.
How long should a treatment or mow take to complete? This depends on the size of your lawn, but many people are surprised at how little time it takes. This is because the equipment we use is commercial and covers a wide area.
How important is correct regular mowing? Very important! Many lawn problems are caused by incorrect mowing such as cutting too short for the type of grass you have. This puts it under stress as does not cutting often enough. Always mow at least once a week and never leave mowing for two or three weeks. Try to mow in different directions, up and down one week, across the next and so on. Always make sure the blade is sharp otherwise it will tear and not cut. Please contact us with any other questions regarding types of mower and any other mowing practices.
How much will it cost? This naturally depends on the size of your lawn, therefore we offer a free quotation service.
Why does my lawn still get moss? Moss is part of our climate, the amount of spores differs each year. To reduce the moss we need to remove the conditions it likes to grow in as much as possible. It needs moisture to grow in, so good drainage is a must. It enjoys shade so creating as much light as possible is beneficial. It will grow where the grass sward is thin and weak, so healthy grass is important. The biggest culprit in encouraging moss is the mower! Cutting too short, especially in the autumn, and scalping high points will always increase the moss content. Regular aeration and scarification to remove and control thatch are also very important.
What size lawns do you treat? No lawn is too small and only the very largest (ones that need tractor drawn equipment) are too big, but ask us anyway and we will be pleased to give you a quote. Plus we work with partners for large commercial fields or playing fields.
How often should I cut my grass? We recommend our weekly or fortnightly mow service, never leave mowing for three weeks or more. Try to mow in different directions, up and down one week, across the next and so on. Always make sure the blade is sharp otherwise it will tear and not cut
Are the Lawn Treatments safe for children and pets? Yes. We do recommend though that children and pets are kept off the lawn until the weed killer has dried. This can take a few hours depending on weather conditions, so if they can be kept off until the next day so much the better. If you have any concerns regarding this subject please contact us to discuss
When will I start to see results? It takes about 10-14 days for the fertilisers to kick in, moss control can take as little as one day, weed control can take two to three weeks depending on types of weed treated. However, steady improvement is preferred to a sudden flush of growth which only encourages thatch to develop and keeps you busy with the mower.
How often should treatments be repeated? Each lawn is different but as a general rule the four treatments are enough to maintain the lawns condition, although an extra moss control at the beginning of the year is very beneficial. Aeration and scarification are done as needed, usually every year with Suffolk clay soils.
Do you run a referral scheme? Yes absolutely, everyone likes to save some money, please contact us with details and we will arrange discount as appropriate.
Can you take away the brown waste? Yes we are a licensed waste carrier, however this can be pricy, as needs to cover time, fuel and local authority disposal charges. Happy to discuss further.
What happens if it rains on the day of my appointment? Light rain usually isn’t a problem. In cases of heavy rain or unsafe conditions, we’ll reschedule for the next suitable day.
Can you treat weeds and moss? Yes. We offer weed and moss treatments as part of our lawn‑care services. Treatment timing depends on weather conditions and lawn health.
Do you provide one ‑off lawn services? Yes. We offer both one‑off visits and regular maintenance plans to suit your needs.
