Seasonal lawn maintenance guide

Our seasonal lawn maintenance guide outlines which lawn care procedures to carry out each month to maintain the quality of your lawn.

January/February

Remove leaves and debris.
Aerate.
Service mower and ensure blades are sharp.
Stay off the lawn if frozen or waterlogged.

March/April

Start mowing the lawn as warmer weather stimulates turf growth and increase the frequency of mowing as required.
Apply Rolawn Lawn Topdressing.
Remove by hand or spot treat coarse grasses and weeds.
Scarify if your lawn is more than 12 months old.
Patch damaged lawn areas and edges with Rolawn turf or lawn seed.

May/June

Increase mowing frequency, a little and often is the key.
Aerate.
Remove by hand or spot treat coarse grasses and weeds.
Water if rainfall is low.
Treat established lawns containing weeds and moss with a proprietary weed, feed and moss killer.

July/August

Use water wisely, but to maintain colour in summer, more watering will probably be required. In times of drought your Rolawn lawn will go brown and dormant. It will recover when rainfall returns.
Apply a Chafer Grub Killer and Leatherjacket Killer, if required.
Make arrangements for your lawn to be mown whilst you are on holiday.

September/October

Gradually decrease mowing frequency as grass growth slows, raise the height of cut as winter approaches.
Scarify if your lawn is more than 12 months old.
Aerate.
Treat established lawns containing weeds and moss with a proprietary weed, feed and moss killer.
Repair damaged or worn areas with new Rolawn turf or lawn seed.
Apply Rolawn Lawn Topdressing.
Allow worm casts to dry before brushing with a stiff broom.

November/December

Remove leaves and debris.
Mow if the lawn is still growing.
Prune and thin foliage surrounding the lawn.
Clean and oil all equipment before putting into winter storage.
