Lawn care and lawn rescue in Chelmsford

After a hot, dry summer, many Essex lawns are left thin, patchy and full of moss and thatch. Grass is resilient, and the right treatment at the right time brings most lawns back. Autumn is the best time to start.

Our lawn services

• Scarification: clears out moss and thatch so water, air and feed reach the roots
• Aeration: relieves compacted ground so roots can grow deeper
• Overseeding: thickens thin and patchy areas with new grass
• Feeding: seasonal feeds for strong, green growth
• Returfing: a fast, full transformation with new turf when a lawn is beyond repair

When to do it

Autumn (September to November) is ideal for scarifying, aerating and overseeding, while the soil is still warm and the rain returns. Spring is the second window. Returfing can be done most of the year, avoiding frozen or very dry spells.

Rescue or replace?

If there's still grass to work with, renovation is usually cheaper than new turf. We'll look at the lawn, or your photos, and tell you honestly which is better value.
