A Fresh Start for Degraded Turf

Complete Lawn Renovations

When a lawn has deteriorated beyond seasonal treatment, we rebuild it from the ground up. Pre-treatment to control weeds and moss, multi-pass scarification to create a seed bed, double aeration, premium seed, pre-seed fertiliser, water conserver, and professional top-dressing — all followed by a germination check.

The Details

What's Involved

What is a Lawn Renovation? A lawn renovation is a comprehensive mechanical and chemical process designed to restore severely degraded turf. It involves chemically treating weeds and moss, multi-pass scarification to remove thatch, solid-tine aeration to relieve soil compaction, and heavy overseeding with top-dressing to establish a completely new, healthy grass sward without relaying turf.

A complete lawn renovation is our most comprehensive service. We begin with a pre-renovation treatment to control weeds and moss.

After 1–2 weeks we return to scarify the lawn with multiple passes to remove thatch and moss and create a seed bed. The lawn is then double aerated to relieve compaction.

High-quality lawn seed is sown into the seed bed. A pre-seed fertiliser and water conserver treatment is applied. The lawn is then top-dressed with professional lawn dressing to increase seed-to-soil contact and boost germination.

The dressing is worked into the lawn with a rake and drag mat. We perform one germination check after sowing to ensure good germination and advise on aftercare.

Most clients see their new lawn fully established within one growing season. We highly recommend following up with our lawn care programmes to maintain the results.
