🤔 Frequently Asked Questions

When should I start my spring lawn care routine? +

Start spring lawn care when soil temperature consistently reaches 10°C (50°F). In Droitwich and surrounding areas, this typically occurs in mid to late March. Begin with removing debris and the first light cut of the season.

How often should I mow my lawn during peak growing season? +

During peak growing season (May-September), most UK lawns benefit from weekly mowing. However, this can vary based on grass type, weather conditions, and fertilization schedule. Never cut more than one-third of the grass height at once.

What's the best time to apply fertilizer? +

Apply spring fertilizer in March-April when grass begins active growth. Summer feeding should occur in June-July, and autumn fertilizer is best applied in September-October to help grass survive winter stress.

How do I maintain my grounds during drought conditions? +

During drought, raise mowing height to 3+ inches, water deeply but infrequently (preferably early morning), apply mulch around plants, and consider drought-resistant landscaping options. Avoid fertilizing during extreme heat.

Should I hire professional grounds maintenance services? +

Professional services are ideal for large properties, commercial spaces, or when you lack time/equipment. Professionals bring expertise, proper equipment, and can identify problems early. Consider your budget, property size, and available time when deciding.
