Lawns that are not scarified on a regular basis can develop excessive thatch, which is a layer of dead and decaying organic matter lying on top of the root zone. Whilst a moderate level of thatch, half an inch or less, can be beneficial, in that it provides a home for beneficial microorganisms, too much thatch can have a detrimental effect on the grass plant by reducing the availability of moisture and nutrients to the root zone. The resulting effect is weak growth, leading to a poor quality lawn.

You don't realise just how old or tired your patios, paths or driveways look until they have been professionally cleaned using a commercial power washing machine. Throughout the dark, dull winter months, gardens can look quite drab and uninviting, this also applies to driveways, block paving, patios, pool surrounds, tarmac, and paths. Why not treat these areas to a well-deserved face lift? You will be amazed at the difference it can make. Our Power Washing* treatments are proven to remove weeds and afterwards, if required, we can apply a Total Weed Control treatment to discourage them from reappearing.

Creating great looking lawns for people just like you is what Lawnscience lawn care services do best. Lawns come in all types of conditions. We visit thousands of lawns across the UK and we know how important it is to understand a lawn's condition before any treatments are applied. Our lawn care professionals only apply treatments to your lawn that will benefit it and only at the right time of the year. We want you to feel confident that your lawn is being cared for by a true lawn care professional.

Lawn Thatch is a layer of decaying organic matter on the surface of your soil. It consists of grass cuttings, stems, crowns and other parts of the grass plant that are no longer viable. All lawns will have a thatch layer and as long as it is kept under control, about half an inch or less, it can have beneficial effects such as providing a cushion to the lawn's surface and also as a breeding ground for beneficial macro and micro organisms. It's when the lawn thatch layer gets out of control that problems start.

Keeping your patios, paths and driveways clear of weeds throughout the year can be a real challenge. Domestic Total Weed Killers can have some effect, but quite often disappoint with weeds growing back quickly. So, if you need an application of a strong, commercial, Total Weed Control herbicide, contact us for an effective Total Weed Control treatment for hard surfaces surrounding your home and garden. Our Total Weed Control treatment can be applied to patios, paths and driveways and will kill even the most stubborn of weeds.

A compacted soil retains little air or water and is not able to sustain a normal and healthy population of microbes. Lawn Aeration alleviates soil compaction. Maintaining a lawn can take quite a lot of effort, such as mowing, weeding, and fertilising, but sometimes we ignore the real important part of a lawn, the root zone. It's in the root zone that the serious work takes place. It's here that the roots extract the water and nutrients from the soil, transferring them into the plant in order that the process of photosynthesis can take place and the plant can produce the food it requires, by using the energy from the sun.

Are you and your family looking forward to spending time outdoors in your garden this Summer? If you are like many lawn owners, you may have some things that are spoiling your lawn, such as Moles. We see a lot of Mole damage in lawns and other turfed areas and they are of course a Greenkeepers nemesis. Moles are solitary creatures that live in a system of tunnels, feeding on insects and earthworms that fall into their tunnels. To the majority of gardeners they are a real pest, especially in lawns!

Wasps start to make their nests in spring and quite often they choose to live in our roofs, making this the most common place that you will come across wasp nests in your home. They will easily find access into the roof void either under roof tiles or via a gap in flashing. Once inside the roof void they start to grow the nest uninterrupted. It is not uncommon to see roof void nests two feet in diameter. Treating a roof void nest is not a DIY job due to the difficulty of vacating the roof space if the nest drops whilst being treated.
