Spring Is Coming

As the days lengthen and temperatures rise, spring is the perfect time to prepare your garden for the year ahead. Here's our guide to getting your outdoor space in top condition.

Lawn Care Essentials

March-April:

  • Rake out dead grass and moss (scarifying)
  • Apply a spring lawn feed with high nitrogen content
  • Overseed bare patches once soil temperatures reach 8°C
  • Start mowing on a high setting (4-5cm)

Pro tip: If your lawn is more moss than grass, it might be time to consider fresh turf or artificial grass. We can help with both.

Patio Maintenance

Winter can be hard on patios. Here's how to refresh yours:

  • Jet wash - Remove algae, moss, and winter grime
  • Re-sand joints - Top up pointing between slabs
  • Check for damage - Look for cracked or loose slabs
  • Consider sealing - Protects natural stone from staining
  • Fence and Boundary Checks

    Winds and wet weather take their toll on fencing:

    • Check posts for rot at ground level
    • Tighten any loose panels or boards
    • Apply preservative treatment to bare wood
    • Consider replacing tired fencing before summer entertaining

    Planning Bigger Projects

    Spring is ideal for planning larger landscaping work. The ground is workable, and you'll have your new space ready for summer enjoyment. Popular spring projects include:

    • New patios and outdoor dining areas
    • Driveway replacements
    • Garden redesigns
    • Artificial lawn installation
