Look out for weed invasions in your lawn - a suitable selective weed killer should be applied to target the weeds and leave the grass unharmed See our range of selective weed killers hereIncrease how often you are mowing your grass. You should also be able to start mowing the lawn a little lower than you have been (weather permitting)

Keep on top of controlling moss that is present within the lawn Check out our range of lawn moss control products

Fertilise for a happy lawn

Nothing can make your garden more complete than healthy, thick grass sprouting from the ground beneath your feet. Apply a fertiliser that is suitable for this time of year We would recommend using A1 Lawn’s Spring/Summer Fertiliser
