Evergreen Lawn Dressing 25L

Product Information

If you need to repair patches of your lawn or reseed a larger area, there is a new product available that allows you to make an even earlier start this spring. Gro-sure Smart Seed Fast Start allows grass seed to germinate at lower soil temperatures. This means you can sow the seed around a month earlier than previously – in March, rather than April – and see good results. The autumn months are the best time to give it a vigorous rake but be careful not to be too forceful and rake too deeply as the turf gets damaged it can take a long time to recover. Areas of the lawn that get heavy traffic in the summer will be very compacted and will need forking to break up the soil and improve the drainage when the rain starts to pour. Ensure that you push the fork four to six inches in to the ground to get the proper aeration and drainage. 6. Apply top dressing Scarifying is when you rake your lawn to reduce the layers of thatch. Thatch is a collection of debris such as dead grass and old moss that can prevent water and fertiliser from getting through to the roots and soil.

Don’t use top dressing or weedkillers on the lawn during this period. Avoid fertilisers unless you can water the lawn (think of water resources in your area) Expectations Once you have completed the application the lawn will need to be watered. For any badly damaged lawns the process can be repeated regularly with light applications and for general lawn maintenance do this once a year.

Rake your lawn vigorously with a spring-tined rake, aiming to reduce loose debris without uprooting the grass A top dressing generally consists of a mix of materials such as sand, soil and loam which are manually added to the surface of the lawn and brushed or raked in. These materials aid with drainage, help break down thatch and provides organic matter to the soil which in turn helps feed the lawn. What does lawn top dressing do?

If you’re after a striped finish then a rear roller mower is recommended and the lawn needs to be mown up and down to perfect your stripes. This is because the roller flattens the grass so that it lays flat in the direction in which you’ve mowed. Finish the effect with clean sharp lawn edges using a half-moon edger. Summer calls for a different type of feed to give your lawn the nutrition it needs. Choose a feed like Aftercut Ultra Green,which feeds and conditions grass from root to tip. It helps achieve rapid greening within days, at a time when the lawn can tend towards turning brown, prevents moss and helps create a stronger and tougher lawn.It is best to do most of these preparation steps in the autumn months if possible when lawn growth has slowed down, it then has enough time to recover for the spring and summer months.
