Lets get started...
Spring is the best time to spend a little time and effort getting your lawn looking amazing – you can mow the grass, give it a good feeding with lawn fertiliser and start dealing with any with bare bits, nasty weeds and moss.
The secrets to a great looking lawn are: Frequent cutting lets it grow thick and keep out weeds. Avoid mowing the lawn when it’s wet. Leave the clippings where they fall. Not only do you eliminate all the bagging, but the clippings fertilize the soil. If you’re cutting often, the clip- pings are short and few and work their way back into the soil without becoming brown and messy.
Mowing You need to cut the grass whenever it is
growing – which is probably weekly or maybe even more as the weather gets warmer. You should try to keep it at the same height all through spring. For most lawns this should be about 2.5-4cm (1-1.5in) high. For very shaded areas, mow at a height of about 7.5cm (3in). Be warned, mowing too short is the

quickest and easiest way of letting weeds and moss take over and spoiling your lawn.
Edging Once you’ve taken the time to make
your lawn look wonderful, don’t let ragged edging spoil the effect! Untidy lawn edges, where the grass is growing into the surrounding borders, are easy to sort out. Simply use the mini trim to cut away any long grass that is beginning to creep into the borders. Ideally, you should do this after every mowing.
Re-cut edges each spring using a half- moon edging tool. For straight edges, try cutting against a plank of wood and for curves, trim along an old hosepipe laid on the ground. Parts of an edge that have been damaged are really easy to sort out. Use a spade to slice through the turf, cutting out a small rectangular piece from around the damaged area. Lift this from the ground with the spade and turn it around, so the damaged part is now facing the lawn. Press it down fi rmly and fi ll the damaged area with compost. Lastly, sow grass seed over the compost and water. Follow these tips and the grass really will be greener this year!
