Lawn Specialist was established way back in 1978. Unlike a lot of Lawn treatment companies who employ people with little or no experience, I can tell you that I have been doing this for over 40 years. I don't come round and get on my hands and knees and give you a page long list of weeds and anything else other's try to sell you. I will turn up, have a look at the lawn and in less than a minute will say, "Okay you have a family lawn, this is what you need!" I can tell you if your blades on your mower need sharpening, and if you have a cylinder mower I can and will check the blades and make sure it's cutting right.
All living things need nutrition, or food. With grass plants nutrients are absorbed by the roots from the soil. Fertilisation provides, or supplements, the natural nutrients so the plant will be as healthy and attractive as possible. The main nutrients are Nitrogen (N), Phosphorous (P) and Potassium (K) together with certain elements that grass plants require to be healthy and strong. The Lawn Specialist know that the grass plant benefits most if it is fertilised in useable amounts several times a year.
Lawn Specialist is a leading supplier of consistently high quality turf for sports, amenity and landscaping. Based in Lincolnshire, our suppliers grow more than 1,300 acres of turf on some of the coarsest, free-draining sand rootzone in the UK. They have a reputation for supplying premium quality turf and outstanding levels of customer service. To achieve this, they have a dedicated staff team with many years of experience in turf production. They also invest continually in the latest machinery and turf technology to ensure their turf is grown, maintained and harvested to the highest possible standards.
Scarification removes thatch, the accumulation of dead and decaying organic matter at the base of the living roots and leaves. Scarifying or raking in your lawn maintenance programme should be done in Spring and has several benefits - preventing the build up of thatch and getting rid of surface debris. A second rake in Autumn is essential to remove all the fallen leaves, ageing grass plants and debris. The lawn is then ready for re-seeding.
During the summer months in particular, lawns suffer from continual use - be that children, sports, or BBQs - these all combine to cause surface compaction. Lawn maintenance is crucial to prevent damage. This compaction impedes drainage and it is harder for air, water and fertiliser to penetrate into the roots. As such, lawn aeration during the Spring and Autumn, helps allow the soil temperature to rise more quickly and the surface to literally 'breathe'. Unlike other Lawn Treatment Companies, we can Aerate your lawn whenever we feel it is suitable rather then tellyou it cant be done until the Autumn.
The Lawn Specialist can provide a lawn service "For Less than You Would Pay To Do the Job "Yourself", or your money back.guaranteed. At The Lawn Specialist we will provide a six programme application, individually designed to suit and satisfy the needs of your lawn. As a member of the IOG (For Sports and Amenity Turf Professionals) I will happily assess any domestic or commercial lawn expanse at a sensible fee.

The first principle is mowing height. A lawn cut at the correct height has more ability to produce food for itself, will stay greener in adverse conditions, will reduce weed germination and is more resistant to diseases. Weeds and weedy-type grasses need plenty of sun and heat to sprout. Taller grass shades the soil and is one of the best weed prevention tools that can be used. As much as possible, your grass should be at least 1 ½ inches after it has been mowed. This is not, unfortunately, a "bowling green" appearance, but it will result in a much healthier and vigorous lawn.
