LAWNCARE PLANS

Lawns are your garden's carpet . . . you would not have an unkempt, tired, threadbare carpet in your living room, so why treat your lawns differently; far more people see it . Look upon your lawn as your garden's main focal point - a perfect, lush green, striped sward creates an appearance of care, space and health, inviting use.

The ENGLISH GARDEN Company takes lawn care very seriously and it now forms some 20% of our core business. Our service will exceed all your expectations and is a far superior service to the newly established, specific lawn care franchises. Even lawns that clients believe need re-turfing can be turned into a pristine lush green oasis within a few months, and at a fraction of the replacement costs.

Renovations may be carried out under a seasonal lawn care plan without additional labour service costs. Care plans are available in two frequencies, either weekly or fortnightly, and running from March through to November, payable seasonally or monthly.

Level of lawn care:

• Lawns are cut each call to an average height of 20 to 40mm dependent on grass type, leaving a perfectly striped finish, viewed from the house. Our machines with their drainage achievements are designed to enable cutting in all but the most torrential of downpours, achieving an uninterrupted service throughout the season.

• Lawn edges are trimmed every cut and left clean and sharp, with cuttings collected.

• Professional wetting agents are applied bi-monthly during the summer to keep our lawns a verdant green and unstressed during hot dry periods.

• Thatch infestations are removed by regular mechanical scarifications.

• Compaction, a common problem in London clay soils, is alleviated by mechanical core aeration to a depth of 100mm, followed by removal and top dressing with a rootzone mix to allow water and air penetration.

• Weeds are eradicated by annual treatment with herbicides and further spot weeding as necessary.

• Moss, a serious problem on poorly drained soil, is treated with an algaecide annually and then removed by mechanical scarification.

• Worms are controlled and kept away from the surface, so no worm casts to spoil your sward during cutting.

• Pests and disease are easily identified in a fine lawn and are treated as appropriate.

• Overseeding is carried out twice annually to infill barren or worn areas and generally to replace specific grasses as they end their lifespan.

• All lawns receive a monthly professional foliar feed appropriate for the season.

• Fallen leaves can cause a serious loss and weakening of grasses so we remove them before cutting on every call in the autumn.

We are often called upon by competitors to supply them with the seed mixes we use on the lawns under our care; what does that tell you about the prominence of our lawns?
