If you’ve given up on the idea of ever having an outdoor area to be proud of, then check out this guide to how garden maintenance services in Leicestershire can revive your garden.
Firstly, there are loads of things you can try yourself, to get your garden looking great. And if you’re planning on making the most of it this summer, then now’s the time to start work.
Bear in mind these mowing and watering tips:
Mowing Tips
- In the Spring to Autumn months mow your lawn once a week
- Keep your mower blades sharp
- Take only a ⅓ of the blade height off each time you mow
- Remove grass clippings and thatch from the lawn – it encourages moss
- Keep heavy items, such as garden furniture and toys, off the lawn
- Try these lawn care hacks that you never knew about
Watering Tips
- In hot weather try to give the lawn two or three waterings a week, this will have more of an effect than frequent watering
- Only water your lawn in the cooler parts of the day, such as early morning or evening
- Brown patches may occur because water isn’t getting through to the roots, so consider forking these areas to help the moisture get through.
- If the grass is dry, try to stay off it as much as possible, as this runs the risk of damaging it further
In addition to knowing the best ways to mow and water your garden, you should also consider surface cleaning and moss and weed control. If you’re not sure how to carry it out, then these are just some of the options available in our professional garden maintenance services in Leicestershire.
Hard And Soft Surface Care
For patios and pathways, the surface cleaning that we carry out involves a soft washing treatment that not only cleans the surface but gets to the root cause of the weeds and moss growing between the cracks, without damaging your surfaces. It’s a more effective alternative to pressure washing hard surfaces which can damage them in the long term.
In addition to moss and weed control for hard surfaces, there are also a few ways to tackle the weeds and moss which is affecting your lawn. Gardens centres sell a lot of products that promise to get the job done, but often these products are diluted for safety reasons and when the weed and moss problem is a bad one, they don’t even scratch the surface. On top of this, the last thing you want is for weeds to come back when you’ve spent lots of time, money and energy getting rid of them in the first place.
