Autumn – August to November

Mow your grass in Autumn, it may be the last proper dry spell until spring!

• Overseed

Plant more seeds than usual to improve the thickness of your lawn.

We often experience rain in autumn, aerate your lawn to ventilate it and stop compaction.

Moss thrives in damp conditions, be sure to treat & remove it before it spreads.

Diseases also thrive in damp (sometimes warm) autumn months. Check for fungus or unusual dry/yellow patches. Speak to a professional to treat your grass diseases properly.

Use a specially formulated winter lawn feed to keep your lawn healthy in the harsh conditions.
