Pale Grass

Feeding the lawn is the singular most important part of lawn care especially if you are also experiencing weed infestations and or fungal disease. A good healthy lawn will give you much more enjoyment with less maintenance. All lawns will benefit from at least one spring/summer feed and an autumn feed to get them prepared for the winter.

Lawn Weeds

A weed is described as a plant growing where you don’t want them. Weeds in lawns can give a very unkempt look and if left uncontrolled the can very easily spread and become a real problem. Weeds can be difficult to remove from the lawn as many are deep rooted are have a spreading habit that make them hard to kill in one treatment. The most difficult weeds to eradicate from the lawn are the perennial varietys.

Weed Control in the Lawn

The use of selective weedkillers is the most common lawn treatment for the control of lawn weeds. A selective weedkiller works very differently from a normal weedkiller as it only penetrates the plant though the grow tip, this does not affect the grass as grasses grow tips are covered by sheaths of overlapping grass leaves. So the weed is killed and the lawn unharmed.

Moss treatment chemicals give instant results but there must always action plan post treatment. This will defiantly involve scarification other soil improving methods.
