First Lawns

1. We will continue to wear protective clothing; including gloves at all times during our visits. 2. We will knock to make you aware that we have arrived, however we appreciate you may choose not to answer the door. Once your treatment is completed, we will leave our calling card, as usual, unless you request otherwise. Based in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, First Lawns are an independent lawn care company specialising in all aspects of lawn maintenance. We take the time to assess each lawn on an individual basis, tailoring a treatment programme to suit your lawn and your budget.

By completing this process drainage and nutrient uptake is improved, with soil being stimulated, ensuring a strong and colourful lawn. A professional aeration machine is fitted with different types of metal tines: slitting (fracture) tines, solid tines and hollow tines. Using the weight of the machine, it drives blades into the soil, with slightly offset blades they gouge the soil as they exit the turf, leaving a cut in the lawn. This is our most common maintenance aeration. The solid tine machine drives spikes into the soil, as these spikes are withdrawn the ground will move slightly which loosens compacted soil particles.
