Lawn Care FAQs

When should I aerate my lawn?

Aeration is generally most useful when soil conditions allow the tool to penetrate effectively. Avoid working on very dry or waterlogged ground and follow the guidance for your particular tool.

What is lawn scarifying?

Scarifying removes accumulated thatch and dead material from the lawn surface. It can help improve the lawn's growing environment when carried out appropriately.

Do I need a lawn spreader?

A spreader can make applying lawn feed and similar granular products more consistent, particularly across larger areas. Always use the application rate specified on the product.

What should I do if my lawn has moss?

Consider the underlying conditions as well as treatment. Compaction, drainage, shade and thatch can all affect lawn condition. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for any treatment you use.

What lawn-care tools do I really need?

For many home lawns, a basic routine can start with suitable mowing, edging and feeding equipment. Aeration and scarification tools can then be added when your lawn's condition requires them.
