Lawn Care Edinburgh Annual Maintenance

In addition to routine tasks such as watering and mowing regular lawn care is required to reduce the risks of pests / diseases and to keep the lawn looking healthy. A lawn care programme should involve aeration (scarifing and thatch removal), fertilising and control of moss, weeds, pests and diseases.

Aerating the turf.
There are several ways of aerating the soil and removing thatch. Scarifying, slitting and spiking are the main methods of aerating the turf. It is important not to perform these tasks in dry periods as they make the lawn more vulnerable to drought in the short term.

Scarifying
Scarifying the lawn is a technique to remove thatch and permits air to enter the surface of the lawn.

Slitting
Slitting the lawn with a machine is a technique where the blades cut slits through the thatch which permits air to penitrate the soil.

Spiking
Spiking the lawn alows air to enter the soil encouraging rout growth

Moss Control
The reasons for moss in the lawn are varied but include soil compaction, poor drainage, mowing the lawn too closely. Treat the area with a moss killer then scarify to remove the moss.
