Look out for winter lawn disease

Fusarium can also appear as white/grey cotton wool like mycelium which forms as a small mound on the lawn surface in humid, still conditions. Some lawns are more susceptible to disease than others. New lawns are most vulnerable to fusarium disease, which can devastate a newly turfed or…

Snow garden Wednesday, December 7th, 2011

Minimise snow damage

The last week has seen several parts of Britain affected by snow and frost as the cold weather front moves in. The benefit of snow in your garden is that it acts as an insulator, protecting plants from the cold and frost. However, the protected grass can harbour disease pathogens which grow beneath the snow out of sight. Snow can also affect other garden attributes such as trees and shrubs; for example, heavy snow cover can cause leaves and branches to break. It…

Choosing the right mower

Regular mowing is essential  for maintaining a Great Lawn. To achieve the best results it is vital to use the right mower and cut at the correct height and frequency to suit the intended use of your lawn. Cylinder mowers are used on high quality lawns. They cut the grass in a scissor action with two blades. One blade is fixed while a cylinder of 5-10 blades rotates at high speed. Grass is cut by being trapped between the two blades, just like…

Beware – Rock salt can damage your lawn!

When spreading salt/grit this winter to rid your garden of snow and ice and make it safe for your family, be extra careful not to get it on your lawn as it can actually damage and even kill the grass. The sodium in salt draws the liquid out of grass plant and then salinates the plant cells, causing the leaf to turn brown and die.  Salt also affects the pH of soil and can create an unsuitable environment for grass plants to grow.   Fortunately,…

Winter Lawn Problems

We will all be glad to see the back of the snow that’s been covering our beautiful lawns for the past month, but as the temperatures increase and the mounds of snow and ice turn to water, this poses a whole host of problems for our grass. As much as the grass plant relies on water to live healthily, too much of it can be equally as damaging, as not enough oxygen and pore space is available, reducing overall metabolism and therefore slowing…

SNOW ADVICE

The freezing winter temperatures and heavy snowfall over the last week have caused problems in all aspects of our lives – but what about our lawns?

On melting, large patches of dead snow can disfigure the lawn until new grass grows. Luckily for Great Lawn customers, regular applications of our carbohydrates will have protected your lawn…

In recent years, the desire for a perfect lawn accompanied with sophisticated and aggressive marketing from lawn care applicators has resulted in households across the nation exposing their children, pets and water supplies to toxic chemicals. As well as being harmful to humans and the environment, such chemicals are also damaging for the lawn itself. Use of petro-chemicals on lawns is the equivalent of drug abuse in humans: the grass can no longer rely on natural energy and becomes dependent on synthetic fertilisers for growth and life.
