Some tips on caring for your Lawn

-

The best time to create a new lawn is in the spring or early autumn when the soil is warm and still moist. Whether you intend to sow grass seed or are laying turf the same preparation is required. Measure the area before purchasing seeds or turf and kill off any old grass and weeds using a weedkiller like 'roundup'. If you follow the instructions on the container this will kill the grass and weeds in about 2-3 weeks, but more will be needed if there are a lot of perennial weeds such as ground elder, couch grass or nettles. The weedkiller does not affect the soil so replanting can be undertaken as soon as all the weeds have died. Dig or rotovate the area, removing large stones. Dig in well rotted manure or compost (2-3"). Sprinkle a balanced fertiliser such as bonemeal, fish blood & bone or growmore onto the area and firm the surface by treading in. Rake the soil level, in both directions and remove any stones.

Seeds are a cheap option for a new lawn, you can select different seed mixes to create different lawn surfaces depending what use you put the lawn too, e.g. children's football!

Turf can give you an immediate lawn. It is weed free and contains grasses suitable for a low maintenance lawn. Dwarf rye grass is tough and needs less mowing. Meadow turf is for rougher lawns and orchard areas.

Sowing grass seeds needs to be done methodically so you don't tread on the seeds. Sprinkle evenly at 50g per square metre using a hand held spreader. After sowing, rake a thin layer of soil over the seed and keep well watered.

Laying turf should be done as soon as it arrives, although it may keep for three to five days. Unroll the turf along an outside border edge (overlap the edge slightly), place a plank on these first turves to spread your weight and lay the turf in a brick pattern. Use the back of a spade to gently beat the turf flat so that the roots are in contact with the soil. After laying, water well and avoid walking on the turf for about 7 weeks. Water regularly during the first year.

Newly planted lawns require water so water a lot. do not water in the heat of the day and mow your new lawn when the grass is 8cm high. Once you have a lawn established, mow in spring as high as possible and then lower for subsequent mowings (1"). Raise the blades during very hot weather. Do not mow when the grass is wet or during a drought and donÕt collect grass clippings during dry spells. Feed your lawn in spring and autumn every year and keep weeds at bay by either hand weeding or applying a selective lawn weedkiller. In autumn spike your lawn with a fork and fill in the holes with a mixture of grass seed, sharp sand and compost. This will help drainage and keep the grass healthy. Apply moss killer and rake out old dead grass.
