Spring Lawn Care

Nothing beats a beautiful lawn in making the garden look completely stunning. But all too often people start to mow the grass in spring and they find bare patches, ugly weeds and slippery moss instead of thick green turf that’s a pleasure to walk on. Renovating your lawn in the spring won’t take a long time or cost a fortune. In fact for the average sized lawn of 80 sq.m it will cost less than £10 and take all of 10 minutes. What’s the secret? Well one spreader of EverGreen Complete will make a fantastic difference, and it’s so easy to apply.
Thicker, greener grass
The quick and easy solution to a tired looking lawn is a single application of EverGreen Complete. This helps the lawn in three ways by:
- Giving your grass the essential nutrients to grow noticeably thicker and greener.
- Killing the unsightly broad-leaved weeds such as dandelions, buttercups, white clover and daisies.
- Controls existing moss so the grass can take the upper hand this summer.
Easy application
For best results apply in spring when the weather is mild and the grass is dry. The end of April or beginning of May are ideal times. Apply the granules mid way between mowing the grass. Apply 3 days after mowing so the leaves of the weeds are large enough to absorb a sufficient dose of weedkiller. Leave another 3 days before mowing again so the weedkiller gets right down to the roots.
Using the hand-held spreader is quick and easy. Just flip open the spreader and then scatter the granules evenly as you walk up and down the lawn. If the weather is hot and dry, you’ll need to water your lawn after a couple of days, so the granules get to feed the grass roots. If it has already rained a few days after application you don’t need to water.
Quick results
EverGreen Complete gives fast-acting and long-lasting feeding. You will see your lawn start to green up in less than a week and it will keep your lawn green and beautiful for up to 8 weeks. This extra energy will help to fill in bare patches that will be left after the moss has turned brown. Simply rake out the moss after a fortnight.
Long term strength
EverGreen Complete contains a unique ‘WaterSmart Formula’ that helps build a thick green lawn with stronger roots which better absorb water and nutrients. This extra vigour helps protect the lawn against heat, drought and other stresses and also helps the treated lawn make the most of every drop of water that falls.
Further hints and tips for better lawns
- Mow the grass regularly – at least once a week. Don’t cut it too short, especially in dry weather. Trim the edge of the lawn whenever you mow to keep crisp lines that clearly show the care you are taking.
- Water the grass only when it desperately needs it. Then water thoroughly so the roots are well watered. If you just wet the top you will encourage roots at the surface which are much more vulnerable to drought damage.
- If you feed the lawn again in a couple of months time it will remain strong and healthy all summer. EverGreen Complete applied in July will ensure you have a summer lawn to be proud of!
