Feeding Your Lawn

When Bespoke Lawn Care feeds a lawn, they're providing essential nutrients that are vital for a healthy, vibrant, and resilient lawn.

Here's why lawn feeding is so important and the benefits it provides:

• Promotes healthy growth and a lush appearance: Fertilisers contain key nutrients like Nitrogen (N) for strong leaf growth and green colour, Phosphorus (P) for robust root development, and Potassium (K) for overall health and stress resilience. A well-fed lawn will be thicker, greener, and more visually appealing.

• Replenishes nutrients depleted by mowing and use: Mowing removes a portion of the grass blades, forcing the plant to draw on soil nutrients to regenerate. Over time, these nutrients can become depleted, especially with frequent mowing or heavy use. Feeding replenishes these vital elements, ensuring the grass has the resources it needs to thrive.

• Increases resilience to environmental stressors: A well-nourished lawn is better equipped to withstand challenges like drought, heat, and cold weather. Stronger roots and healthier grass blades mean a lawn that can recover faster and maintain its beauty even in difficult conditions.

• Reduces weed and moss problems: A dense, healthy lawn naturally crowds out weeds and moss, making it harder for these invaders to establish and spread. Weeds and moss tend to thrive in low-nutrient, weak turf areas, so feeding helps prevent them from taking hold.

• Enhances soil health: Fertilisation goes beyond simply feeding the grass; it also improves the overall health of the soil. Regular feeding, especially with organic-based fertilisers, enriches the soil with nutrients and can encourage beneficial microbial activity, contributing to a more balanced and fertile growing environment.

• Saves time and effort in the long run: While feeding is an investment of time and resources, it ultimately makes lawn maintenance easier and more efficient. A healthy lawn requires less intensive weed and moss removal, reducing the need for costly and time-consuming interventions down the line.

A bespoke approach:

 Bespoke Lawn Care, with their experience in the sports turf industry, understands that not all lawns are the same and require a tailored approach to feeding. They take into account factors such as:

• Time of year: They select formulations appropriate for the season, with higher nitrogen for spring and summer growth, and higher potassium and phosphates for autumn and winter root development and hardening.

• Soil type: Different soils have different needs. They use specially formulated fertilisers that cater to specific soil types, like clay or sandy soils, to ensure the grass thrives in its unique conditions.

• Grass species and condition: They tailor the feeding regime to the specific needs of the grass type and its current health, whether it's a new lawn, has high traffic, or has been damaged.

• Addressing specific problems: If a lawn is showing signs of nutrient deficiency, such as yellowing grass or the presence of moss, we'll adjust our feeding to address these issues.

By taking this bespoke approach to lawn feeding, Bespoke Lawn Care ensures each lawn receives the precise nourishment it needs to achieve and maintain its optimal health and beauty.
