We cover lawn repair, weed control, moss control, turfing installations, weed prevention, moss treatments, lawn renovation and annual lawn care programmes. Our lawn care company is on hand to help resolve any issues impacting the health and visual appeal of your lawn. However, preventing issues before they arise would be ideal, so we have put together a list of things that may harm your grass and can cause moss. This can help you prevent moss from becoming a problem.
Some things that are harming your lawn and helping moss grow include:
Fleet is almost next door to our office, and our operations manager lives there, so it is like a second home to us. It is also home to hundreds of our customers, so you have probably seen one of our vans around the area.
Like anywhere, there are variations, but in general, Fleet soil is poor and sandy. Regular nutrient application and aeration are beneficial in these conditions, but our free lawn analysis will pinpoint exactly what is required.
How to Prevent Moss Growth
Whether you need lawn repair to prevent moss growth, turfing or weed control services at your property, our lawn care company has the solution. We can also provide moss control services if it has already taken root in your green space.
Here are some maintenance tips for keeping moss at bay:
Don’t Cut Grass Too Short
Cutting grass too short can hinder natural functions and growth. This makes it slower to recover and might even kill it, providing space for moss to grow.
Mow Often
Letting grass grow too long before mowing means you end up cutting a larger percentage of the grass off, which can shock it and stunt growth. Again, this leaves room for moss to move in.
Aeration
Too tightly compacted lawns lack air spaces between soil particles, which means the soil can’t hold air and cannot drain or hold water. This results in a slow-growing, unhealthy lawn that is not only unattractive but also allows moss to encroach.
Fleet covers a large area, but the soil here is predominantly poor and sandy. Regular nutrient application and aeration will be beneficial. There are some areas with a high water table and this can lead to nutrient leaching and compaction.
