Professional lawn treatment to improve grass health and appearance. Seasonal feeding, weed control, moss treatment - tailored programmes that actually address what your lawn needs.
### Beyond Generic Weed and Feed
Every lawn is different. Some need feeding, some need moss treatment, some are mostly weeds with a bit of grass. We assess what's actually going on and treat accordingly, not just chuck generic products at it and hope.
### What We Offer
- **Seasonal feeding** - spring, summer, and autumn programmes - **Weed control** - selective treatment for broadleaf weeds - **Moss treatment** - control and prevention strategies - **Soil improvement** - addressing pH and nutrient issues - **Scarifying** - removing thatch and dead moss - **Overseeding** - filling thin areas
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Moss is usually a symptom, not the problem. Poor drainage, compaction, shade, or low soil pH create conditions moss loves. Treating the moss without fixing the underlying issue is a waste of time and money.
### Done Right vs Done Wrong
| ✅ Done Right | ❌ Done Wrong | |--------------|---------------| | Assess lawn, treat actual problems | Generic treatment regardless of need | | Right product at right time | Random timing, wrong products | | Address underlying causes | Just treat symptoms repeatedly | | Appropriate rates for grass type | Over or under-application |

We can remind you when each treatment is due. **Realistic Expectations:** Severely neglected lawns won't transform overnight. A season of proper care usually shows dramatic improvement, but miracle transformations take time. **When Treatment Isn't Enough:** If your lawn is mostly weeds, bare patches, or uneven levels, sometimes renovation or re-turfing is more cost-effective than ongoing treatment. We'll be honest about what makes sense.
Frequently Asked Questions about Lawn Treatment in Newton Abbot
What's involved in lawn treatment?
Depends on what your lawn needs. Could be feeding to boost growth, weed control, moss treatment, or a combination. We assess your lawn's condition and recommend appropriate treatments rather than one-size-fits-all approaches.
When should I treat my lawn?
Spring feed (March-April) kicks off the growing season. Summer feed (June-July) maintains growth. Autumn feed (September-October) strengthens roots. Weed and moss treatments as needed. We can advise on timing for your specific lawn.
Is it safe for kids and pets?
We use products approved for domestic gardens. Keep kids and pets off treated areas until dry (usually a few hours). We'll give you specific advice for whatever products we use.
How soon will I see results?
Feeding shows greening within 1-2 weeks. Weed control takes 2-3 weeks for visible die-back. Moss treatment can be quick but preventing return needs addressing underlying causes like poor drainage or compaction.
