If your outdoor space has a lawn, you’re probably keen to keep it looking as good as possible.
A well-maintained lawn can really improve the look of your garden, not to mention provide a welcoming habitat for wildlife and a place for the family to relax.
Here are the top five lawn maintenance tips every homeowner should know.
Soil is the main factor determining the health of your lawn. Failing to provide the soil with the best nutrition means your lawn will struggle to thrive.
Your lawn needs to develop healthy root systems. It helps to work from the ground up, ensuring your soil can support living organisms like earthworms and beneficial fungi. Most homeowners don’t understand their soil properties, including the pH, but you can easily buy a test kit to determine the quality of your soil.
Digging up a small patch of your lawn can also give you an idea of your soil condition.
Regular application of fertiliser designed specifically for lawns is an easy way to keep your grass in top condition.
There are different types of grasses for different landscaping purposes. By choosing a type of grass that is well-suited to your soil and local environment, you can cut down on lawn maintenance and give your lawn the best chance of thriving.
If you can’t maintain a real grass lawn, one simple way to transform your space is to install artificial grass. Professional installers can offer you a range of beautiful realistic grass varieties to meet your needs. Pets are happy on artificial lawns, and you will never have to worry about dirty floors. Perfect artificial turf is mess-free, evergreen, and easy to maintain.
Thatching involves removing debris like dead leaves, decaying grass, and other materials from your lawn. This

Do you need a watering robot?
The weather is warm and sunny again, and I’m wilting (slightly) faster than the plants. It’s at times like this that I’m grateful for designing the garden with raised beds – they’re nice and deep and hold plenty of moisture, and the plants in them can last days between watering, even in the hottest weather.
