MARCH - Lawn Care

Time to start regular lawn care. A traditional British lawn would be a mix of bents and fescue and in March, depending on the weather, 2-4 cuts would be what we're aiming for with a sward height of around 20mm. Now is a good time to control any build up of moss and thatch allowing more air and water to reach the roots for a healthier, lusher lawn. A scarifying rake has tines to slice into the turf to remove dead plant material and cut through roots to stimulate new growth Think of it as vertical pruning - as essential as mowing - and should be done at least annually really.
