  • Aerate.
  • Service mower and ensure blades are sharp.
  • Stay off the lawn if frozen or waterlogged.
 
Info centre - frosty blades of grass

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.

  • 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.

Important update: Temporary 6.5% surcharge effective 7 April 

At Rolawn, we are committed to maintaining the high standards of quality and service our customers expect, so we want to be open with our customers about a change that will affect pricing from Tuesday 7th April. 

This decision has been taken in response to disruption to energy supplies, which has led to significant increases in wholesale prices, affecting not only fuel and fertiliser but also costs throughout our wider supply chain. As a business that relies heavily on fuel for both transport and operations, these sustained cost pressures have become increasingly difficult to absorb.  

While we have worked hard to mitigate the impact, the scale and pace of recent price increases have now exceeded what we can sustain internally, and we therefore need to recover a proportion of these externally driven increases. 

From Tuesday 7th April, a temporary 6.5% surcharge will apply to all products.  

We know that any increase in price is frustrating, particularly at a time when many businesses and households are already feeling under pressure. That is why we want to be clear that this is not a decision we have made lightly, and not one we wanted to make. It has been introduced solely to help offset unavoidable cost inflation and allow us to continue delivering the quality, reliability and service standards associated with Rolawn. 

We will continue to monitor market conditions closely and will review this surcharge as soon as circumstances allow, providing reasonable notice of any changes. We recognise that any price increase is unwelcome, but this step is necessary to ensure the continuity and reliability of our operations during a period of ongoing uncertainty. 

We remain committed to providing the quality, reliability and service standards you expect from Rolawn, and we truly appreciate your understanding and continued support. 

If you have any questions, please contact our customer support team who will be happy to help.
