Lawn Care

At Taurus Gardening we believe in giving our Clients the right service for their garden. We have a number of services to get your lawn looking great:-

SLOGRO: See our NEW WEBSITE - www.slogro.co.uk

This service is unique to Taurus Gardening Ltd and is the application of a grass growth regulator. This slows down the vertical growth but improves root and shoot growth, improving the lawn's drought, disease and wear tolerance and it's ability to recover from damage whilst potentially reducing the cutting frequency- SCARIFY:

Scarification reduces the amount of thatch (build up of grass roots, shoots and leaves which creates a surface mat, denying the soil of moisture, air and nutrients and weakening the grass), and moss build up. Should be carried out annually in late summer / early autumn.

HOLLOWTINE:

By removing cylindrical cores from the lawn surface, air, moisture and nutrients can better penetrate direct to the grass root zone . Unlike other lawn care service providers, we rake and remove the corings as to leave them on the surface makes a mess and damages grass cutting machinery and we do not believe they add any value as a surface dressing. We will also dress with lawn sand to help control moss and guard against future compaction as part of the treatment. Ideally carried out in late winter/early spring.

FERTILISER:

We use a season long spring/summer slow release fertiliser with a special formulation which means only one application is required for the summer season and this feeds the lawn evenly all through the summer.

WEED TREATMENT:

Application of a selective broad leaf weedkiller specifically designed for amentiy turf.

MOSS TREATEMENT:

Application of a special annual moss treatment. This should be carried out late August / early September, ideally prior to scarifying.

PEST & DISEASE CONTROL:

Specific pest & Disease treatment as required. Diagnosis and treatment offered.

RE-SEED:

Re-seed patches or 'over-seed' lawn following hard scarification work.
