ELITE
Our elite program is for the more challenging lawn, based upon poor soils leading to less natural thatch breakdown. It combines our standard program but with a greater improvement within the soils. This is a combination of the following:
-
5 organic feeds per year

Scarification twice per year (Spring & Autumn)
-
Hollow-Tine Aeration twice per year
-
Unlimited organic fungicides

Granular Wetting Agent (Spring)

Seaweed and bio-stimulant applications
Prices are based on your lawn size and condition. Please enquire with your address, photos and estimated lawn size.
TREATMENTS
FEED AND WEED
When removing grass and putting it into the grass box or compost pile, essential food is removed. This makes a feed program an essential part of keeping your lawn healthy as well as how you feed them. Choosing organics over polymer coated fertilisers is a way to feed your soils as well as enhancing the appearance. Seasonal changes mean that nutrient requirements are changing, at Modern Lawn Care we use nothing but organic feeds that will enhance plant density thus reducing any need for using herbicides.
SCARIFICATION
Whilst many scarify lawns, it's often done without people knowing what they are doing it for. Modern Lawn Care prides itself on setting the bar and educating many others. We scarify for a host of reasons. Pruning our native grasses to develop thicker is our main reason. However, keeping thatch levels sensible so that moss spores don't have any chance to develop is another. Improves surfaces , lawn density and an increase in fine native grass species is another.
Scarification can be done in spring, autumn or both. There often its done (maintenance scarifying) the better and faster a lawn will recover, the thicker and healthier it will be.
AERATION
The key to any lawn and life is in fact oxygen. It improves our soils which inevitably leads to healthy plants (lawns). At Modern Lawn Care, we again lead the way in understanding soil science and knowing what type of aeration will benefit your lawn. Something done on sports grounds for example, may not work on your lawn.
Aerating on sandier soils won't always see the benefits from selective aeration procedures. What works on loam will probably have little success on heavy clay. Aeration has to serve a purpose and the type of aeration you do will only work for you it it's the right kind of aeration. Understanding soils, soil structures and what type will benefit you is key.
PLANNING AND THE ENVIRONMENT
The weather is changing quickly and we need to adapt to those changes. Ensuring lawns are able to adapt, machine are suitable and products are safe. We also have the ability, unlike most companies to look after your lawn should you wish a beautiful lawn or a croquet lawn standard.
We can start your lawn from new ensuring natural grasses are used, amendments and additives are added at the beginning to ensure better use of water, fertilisers and future plant health.
