Our Lawn3 treatments can keep your lawn looking beautiful and healthy all year round. Although winter may cause you to think the work on your lawn and garden is over, this could not be further from the truth. In fact, by not tending to your lawn and garden during the winter months, you could end up having more work ahead of you once springtime arrives.
Winter can do a lot of damage to your lawn. As such, your lawn needs time to rest. That means avoiding walking on your lawn when it`s wet or frosty, and ensuring any debris is removed on a regular basis.
Moss – Believe it or not, the winter months are when moss can do the most damage to your lawn. That`s because during the winter, moss is busy producing spores. When spring arrives, those spores will be released into the air and settle all over your lawn, only to produce more moss. What`s worse, moss will continue to produce spores during the spring, which can mean an even larger moss problem later in the year. In order to control moss from your lawn, it`s essential to treat it during the winter months.

Avoid Compaction – Don’t walk on your lawn during the winter months. Walking on a wet lawn will remove the air pockets and drainage routes in the soil. This can lead to a waterlogged lawn, which can cause further problems in spring.
Don’t Mow Unless Absolutely Necessary – No lawn should receive any but the lightest mowing trim during the winter months. Although mowing is usually unnecessary in the winter, recent warmer winters have seen lawns continuing to grow through this season, albeit slowly.
Make the Most of Dry Days – When the weather is dry, this can be the perfect time to rid your lawn of leaves. Leaf removal is important, as leaving it on the grass will provide the moist conditions that moss and fungus need to thrive. Debris left on your lawn can also provide shelter for garden pests.
Don’t Apply Nitrogen Feed – Avoid applying any lawn feed containing nitrogen to your lawn in winter, as this will result in significant lawn repairs in the spring.

Q) What’s the Difference between Lawn 3 Products and Garden Centre Products?
Answer…
Garden centre products are diluted so that no professional qualifications are required to buy or apply them. But this also means that they can be less effective when applied to your lawn. As well, many of these products are a mixture of lawn food, moss killer, greener and weed killer, which also compromises their effectiveness.
As well, garden centre products are designed to give a flush of growth so that you see visible results sooner. Unfortunately, much of the solution is too strong to be absorbed by your lawn and simply washes away. All of the operators at Lawn 3 are NPTC qualified, able to purchase and apply professional-strength fertilisers and weed killers to your lawn.
All of the products Lawn 3 applies are slow release, which allows a carefully regulated release of nutrients into the soil for a lawn that not only looks healthy on the surface, but really is healthy all the way from root to top.
Our Happy Clients
"Stephen Monk Lawn 3 has been looking after our lawn for nearly three years , and we are very pleased with the personal service he provides and the results achieved to date. Previously over a period of some last seven years we had a similar service from two other lawn care providers. In each case we decided, after a reasonable period, that they were not providing the service we had expected. We found Lawn 3 by an internet search, and were impressed by the personal service referred to in the website testimonials Our lawn has suffered for many years with red thread. We are currently nearly free of this thanks to Stephen. He takes considerable pride in his work and makes you feel your lawn is important to him. He is extremely approachable whilst providing a professional caring service often giving simple self help tips to improve the lawn. Thanks Stephen"
"Dear Steve, Lawn3 reseeded our lawn in the spring and we are very pleased with the result. Rather than a lawn filled with dandelions and Mind Your Own business we now have a beautiful thick green lawn - too nice to walk on! Steve is always helpful, keeps to his appointment times and has gone out of his way to give us extra advice. For anyone wondering whether to go for laying turf or seeding a lawn I would definitely recommend the latter. Our garden is shaded by a large tree so Steve has seeded with a shade tolerant grass seed - we are delighted. Thanks Steve"
