AS A FORMER Flood Forecasting Manager for the Environment Agency, Mark Grady knows all too well the havoc that British weather can wreck on our lawns. With the help of his expertise, GreenThumb has built an unrivalled reputation for lawn care within the area. “We are experienced and the longest- established lawn company in Kent, and GreenThumb as a franchise has been going for over 23 years,” says Mark. “We offer a trustworthy service and our high level of research and development sets us apart from the rest. We also offer a far greater range of services and

products than our competitors.” GreenThumb offers various seasonal services; two of the most popular during the autumn and winter months are scarification and aeration. “Over the course of a year, dead roots, grass clippings and leaves all increase the layer of thatch that forms at the base of the grass stems. This prevents important nutrients, as well as water and air, from reaching the roots,” explains Mark. “Scarification is the mechanical process of
removing surface thatch, while hollow tine aeration involves removing thousands of cores of soil, to relieve compaction, allowing essential nutrients to reach the root zone.” GreenThumb offers a pay-as- you-go service, providing ultimate flexibility for the client. Alternatively, clients can pay on contract or via direct debit. “In terms of what we offer and what we charge, our aim is to provide a truly exceptional service,” says Mark.
