Lawns: spring and summer care

Mowing

This is the most obvious (and one of the most important) maintenance task over spring and summer. Mowing regularly keeps the lawn in good health. See our advice on lawns: mowing for more on the different cutting heights and mowing frequencies recommended in spring and summer.

Killing moss

Moss is a problem in damp, poorly drained lawns. Spring is a good time to remedy moss problems. There are several options for dealing with moss in lawns, see our advice on moss in lawns for further detail.

Feeding

In mid-spring (often late March to April), use a proprietary spring  or summer lawn fertiliser at the manufacturer’s recommended rates. Feeding the lawn will increase vigour and help prevent weeds and moss from establishing. Apply fertilisers when the soil is moist, or when rain is expected.

If grass loses its vigour and freshness between late spring and late summer (often May to August), repeat the application of spring or summer lawn fertiliser or apply 15g per sq m (½oz per sq. yd) sulphate of ammonia mixed with four times its weight dry soil. Mixing with soil ensures even distribution and avoids scorching the grass. Apply this mixture in cool, moist conditions and lightly water it in. As an organic alternative, use chicken manure pellets. Repeat fertiliser application a third time if needed six to eight weeks later.

Do not apply spring or summer lawn fertilisers, chicken manure pellets or sulphate of ammonia after August. They contain too much nitrogen for autumn use, encouraging green leafy growth at the wrong time of year, when it could be damaged by winter cold or pests and disease.

Over-seeding

After moss or weeds have been removed, or where grass is growing sparsely, over-seeding may be necessary. Early autumn is the best time for this job, but mid-spring is also suitable.

• Break up the surface with a fork and rake it to make a reasonably fine surface.
• Sow grass seed at half the recommended rate or, where there are no recommendations, at 10-15g per sq m (½oz per sq yd).
• Lightly rake to incorporate the seed into the surface.
• Where birds are a problem, net the area.
• If the weather remains dry for two or three days water gently with a sprinkler.
• Grass should sprout seven to 10 days after sowing.

In heavily used areas, choose a hardwearing utility mix containing ryegrass. Most lawn grasses do not thrive in shade, so for these areas choose a shade-tolerant mix.

Watering

Even if lawns turn brown and dry over summer, they usually recover well when rains return. Watering is usually not necessary over summer. See our advice on lawns: care during drought for more on limiting damage and conserving water in the lawn.

If you do have to water the lawn and maintain a green sward, water when the soil becomes dry, but before the grass turns yellow or brown. If the ground is very hard, aerate it by spiking with a garden fork before watering, to aid water penetration.

Watering once a week to every 10 days is normally sufficient. Ensure that the water reaches a depth of 10cm (4in) after each watering. In the middle of summer 1 sq m (1 sq yd) needs about 20-litres (5 gallons) every seven days.

Looking after new lawns

Lawns from turf should be left completely un-used for their first week. Lawns from seed should be left un-used until their first mowing. Avoid using new lawns heavily in their first season.

Newly laid lawns can be fed like established lawns. They need watering, but should not be over watered, as this may result in shallow rooting and poor establishment.

For advice on aftercare of newly sown lawns, see our advice on lawns from seed.

Mowing Your Lawn Turf

For home owners who do not have the time to do the job on their own, or for business owners who want the most professionally landscaped lawns, hiring the best landscaping companies for mowing your lawn is something to consider. Not only do these professional companies have the best mowers, trimmers, and clippers, but they have the highest speed mowers to handle any grass and lawn, regardless of the desired look the customer has. Additionally, when you hire professionals to do the job, you do not have to worry about things not getting done, and if you are a business owner, you can be rest assured the lawn turf is always going to look its best when customers are present.

If you have a larger estate, and are always away or do not have the time or tools to do the work yourself, a professional landscaping company can do it for you. And, as a business owner, they can mow the lawns, trim the hedges and trees, and if you want any special plants, features, or designs, professional landscapers are the best people to do the work for you. But, when hiring the landscaping company to work with, you not only have to make sure they are a reliable company, but home and business owners have to make sure the company is well known in their area, uses the best tools, has all required licensed and certifications, and charges the lowest prices for the work they are going to be rendering for the clients. 

When comparing landscaping companies, to choose the best home and business owners should use online reviews to learn about local companies. Not only is this the easiest way to find out which companies are licensed and only hire the top professionals, but it is also the easiest way to find the best landscaping companies and what former customers have to say about their work. It is also going to allow you the opportunity to find the lower prices when you do need to have landscapers coming to your home or business once or a couple times a week to maintain the lawn turf, and to make sure everything is looking its best. So, taking some time to read online reviews, and finding companies that other locals trust and rely on, is the best way to go about finding the top professionals for mowing your lawn and all other landscaping work that has to be done at home or for your business. 

It does not matter what the size the lawn is, or how much maintenance work is required; if you hire the best companies, they will do the job properly, and will ensure the style and look that home or business owners are looking for. So, if you are limited in time, supplies, and resources, or if you simply do not want to do the work yourself, you can hire great local landscaping companies to mow the lawn turf, and maintain the lawn at home or for your local business.

Lawn Turf – How Often Should I Mow My Lawn?

This is a common question that we are asked here at Easylawn and it depends on the time of year. Grass will usually grow at its peak in Spring and Autumn, so during these times your lawn turf should really me mowed at least once a week. In the Summer however, rainfall is limited so therefore it may only be necessary to mow your lawn every other week. Finally, in the Winter the frequency that your lawn will require mowing will be greatly reduced due to wet lawns and frosts.
