This Lawn Maintenance Programme is intended a generic guide only, environmental factors may alter elements of the programme. Contact us for more information or bespoke advice.

Irrigation is vitally important when applying fertiliser or grass seed. Irrigate after every application of fertiliser if no rain is forecast. Similarly, the soil must be kept moist when sowing grass seed to ensure optimum germination conditions.

For Irrigation supplies and spares, visit our domestic Irrigation section on our website.

February - March

Continue mowing and slowly reduce the height of cut but remember not to remove more than a third at a time. It is always better to cut dry grass if possible. Clear any worm casts by brushing away, or if a large problem apply Prestige Super Soil Acidifier

fertiliser icon

Apply Prestige Lawnsand No.1 at 70g/m². This Nitrogen and Iron fertiliser helps to control moss and acts as a spring start up tonic fertiliser. Apply on a dry day, with at least 24 - 48 hours of dry weather forecast. Irrigate after application.

7 - 14 days after the above scarify the lawn in 2 - 3 directions and remove debris

Apply Prestige 12:0:9 Fine Turf Traditional (granule) at 35g/m². A spring / summer fertiliser with Nitrogen and Potash. This fertiliser will feed for approx. 6 weeks. Irrigate after application.
