The Grass Roots of Easier Lawn Care.
The grass doesn't have to be greener on the other side of the fence.  

 


No more than one third of the grass  blade should be cut off at one time. This promotes a deeper root system which allows your lawn to easily find water and soil nutrients, especially in hot weather. 

Keep your lawn well balanced. For a healthier, greener lawn, the first step is taking the test. Find out your garden's PH, nitrogen, phosphorous and potash levels.  
 

Our service department can sharpen and balance your blades !Always keep your blade sharp.  Dull blades shred grass ends creating entries for disease.

Compost heaps are an easy way to recycle your garden waste. To build a composter, simply insert four 1.5 m wood or metal stakes 30 cm into the ground, in the shape of a square. Then fence in three sides with chicken wire. Finely chopped leaves, straw and kitchen scraps like vegetable peelings can be used. Never use meat, bones or clip- pings that have recently been treated with sprays containing herbicides or weed killers. 

 

Your lawn needs, about 2.5 cm of  water per week , during the mowing season. Always water in the morning. Water droplets left standing on grass overnight can harbour diseases that: are harmful to your grass.
