Improving your lawns

Check your lawn regularly for problems and keep it well trimmed over the spring and summer. Keep your lawn healthy, lush and green.

• After mowing trim overhanging edges with edging shears.
• Re-define edges each spring with a half-moon edging tool.
• Repair damaged edges by removing a rectangle of turf with a spade and replacing with the damaged edge facing the lawn.
• Make lawns stronger by regular feeding.
• Fill lawn hollows by making an H-shape cut with a spade and lifting back two flaps. Fill depression with topsoil.
• Keep on top of weeds by removing them with a daisy grubber tool.
• Mow regularly to keep grass healthy.
• Lay stepping-stones to prevent paths becoming worn across your your lawn.
