About Us
We don't pay our lawns much attention over the winter. They don't grow all that much so there's not a lot that can be done over the colder months. Spring is the perfect time to start thinking about our lawns again and start deciding on the care and treatment that is needed. Here at Garden Store we have a wide range of lawn care products that can help, whatever the state of your lawn.
Start by taking a look at your lawn and assessing if any damage has occurred over the winter months.
Mowing regularly keeps the lawn in good health and is usually carried out from March/April until about October, depending on the weather.
Spring Mowing - It is important to set the mower on to the highest setting for the first mow of the spring. You can then reduce the height of subsequent mows until the desired hight is reached. Mowing once a week during the spring is ideal.
Summer Mowing - Mowing twice a week during the warmer months is ideal, reducing to one a week if the weather is dry.
Autumn Mowing - Mowing once a week during autumn is ideal.
Winter Mowing - Grass does not tend to grow much over the winter months, so mowing is not usually necessary. Never mow if wet or frozen as this can damage your lawn.

Another application may be needed later on in the summer season if a little vigour is lost.
