Lawn Fertilising

What Is Lawn Fertilising?

Fertilising replaces essential nutrients that grass needs for photosynthesis, growth, and stress defense, enhancing lawn health and appearance.

Technical Description

Lawn fertilising involves supplying essential nutrients that support healthy turfgrass growth and function. Nitrogen (N) is vital for producing proteins and chlorophyll, which stimulate leaf and shoot development. Phosphorus (P) helps build strong roots and plays a key role in energy transfer within the plant. Potassium (K) regulates water balance and activates enzymes, improving the grass’s ability to withstand stress like drought and heat. Additionally, micronutrients such as iron, magnesium, and zinc are important for enzymatic reactions and chlorophyll production, supporting the overall metabolism and health of the lawn.

Nutrients Involved:
 
Nitrogen (N): Stimulates leaf and shoot growth.  
Phosphorus (P): Supports root development.  
Potassium (K): Increases turf strength and stress tolerance.  
Micronutrients: Iron, magnesium, zinc, vital for metabolic processes.

Effective Fertiliser Application for a Thriving Lawn

Application Methods & Frequency

Choosing the right fertiliser application method is key to providing your lawn with the nutrients it needs in the most effective way. Granular fertilisers are spread evenly across the lawn using calibrated spreaders to ensure consistent coverage. Liquid sprays can be applied directly to the leaves for quicker nutrient absorption, often used for foliar feeding. Depending on your soil conditions and lawn needs, organic or synthetic fertilisers are selected based on soil test results to optimise nutrient delivery. To maintain healthy growth, fertilising is usually done every 6 to 8 weeks during active growth periods, with timing and amounts adjusted according to ongoing soil and turf analysis.

Precision trimming starts with careful planning

Operational Best Practices

To deliver the best results, we begin with a thorough site inspection to identify any delicate plants or features that require extra care. We then adjust trimming heights and select the appropriate string types for each area to ensure a clean, precise finish. Our team carefully controls the trimming direction to protect tree bark and prevent soil displacement, preserving the health of your landscape. Finally, we complete every job with a meticulous clean-up, removing clippings from hard surfaces and drains to leave your property neat and tidy.

Why Regular Fertilising Matters for Your Lawn

Benefits of Fertilising

Fertilising your lawn provides essential nutrients that promote thick, lush grass with a vibrant green colour. It strengthens the turf’s natural defences, helping it resist drought, pests, and diseases more effectively. Regular feeding also speeds up recovery from damage caused by foot traffic and harsh weather conditions. Additionally, a well-fertilised lawn grows densely, which helps crowd out weeds and keeps your garden looking healthy and well-maintained.
