Sustainability
Sustainability continues to be a key trend in the lawn care industry in 2024 as we all become more environmentally conscious about the effect we are having on the world around us. A few simple steps could be key in making your lawn more environmentally friendly. These include, using Greenfeets environmentally friendly lawn feed, conserving water, and adding native plants to your garden. We are more than happy to discuss these steps in further detail, don’t be afraid to get in touch!
Overseeding
Due to higher rainfall and milder temperatures, early Autumn proves to be the best time of year to overseed your lawn. The increased moisture level over this time combined with cooler temperatures help to create the best conditions for seed germination. Overseeding can boost its density while also filling in any bare or patchy areas.
Seasonal Feeding
Feeding your lawn is essential in Autumn. This will allow your lawn to withstand the hardship of winter and bounce back into the summer months. We would recommend using our own Greenfeet lawn feed, tailor made to help your lawn withstand every challenge brought with each season. You’ll be able to find this on our website along with a range of great products to help your lawn looking beautiful and healthy all year round.
Top Dressing
Top dressing in the Autumn is an effective factor in keeping your lawn healthy throughout the winter. Top dressing consists of adding materials such as sand, soil and loam to the soils surface. This can be done through raking or brushing. This action can keep the surface level while aiding drainage.
Cutting
It is important to continue cutting your lawn into the Autumn months, although less frequently. By continuing to mow the lawn you will encourage stronger growth and spread. By maintaining this routine, you can ensure your lawn remains healthy. This will give our lawn the best chance of withstanding the harsh Irish winter. We would be happy to discuss our mowing packages, or also to introduce you to our robotic mower range which can offer convenient and effective lawn care maintenance.
