The activity of these insects will create small earth mounds on lawns which could result in damage to grass roots and a dried out appearance on the lawn.

There is no way of fully eradicating this problem. Repeated raking of the mounds on dry days will reduce insect activity and encourage them to move on.

These grubs will cause damage to plant roots which will in turn weaken and discolour the lawn. They are also the favoured food of birds and small mammals which in turn will also cause lawn disturbance and damage.

Regular lawn treatment and maintenance will greatly reduce this problem.
Our seasonal programme is ideal to keep this problem controlled.
It is also beneficial to aerate the lawn during late autumn

These problems generally  develop during cold wet  winter periods. Usually associated with meadow grasses the appearance is recognizable by reddish or pink areas on the lawn which will turn to yellow / brown.

Intensive regular lawn treatments will improve these conditions and use of nitrogen rich fertilizers and aeration to reduce compaction will also discourage the disease. Fungicides are also very effective to remove the problem.

Most noticeable after warm humid conditions.Identified by yellowing or straw coloured grass patches.(Thatch fungi will also have a musty smell)
These problems will usually appear on lawns with poor fertility.

Treatment in this case will need feeds of iron/sulphate and nitrogen and if necessary use of a fungicide.

This Fungi could present  itself all year round and is easily identified by rings of yellow grass with darker green centres. This condition prefers warm soil temperatures and organic matter content.

This problem is generally tolerated but can be masked with nitrogen / iron  fertilizers.
Re- turfing is the only sure fire way to eradicate the problem.

All types of Moss and Lichen thrive on damp shady, poorly drained lawns.
Cutting lawns too closely can also encourage these problems.
Lichen in particular will be found under over hanging trees.

Aeration and Moss treatments and regular scarification are a must to control these problems.
Mowing to the correct heights will also improve the lawns condition and to control the spread of mosses.

This problem will cause scorch marks on the grass especially during dry weather.

There is no way to prevent this problem other than to keep your dogs off of the lawn.
Water down the affected area with plenty of water as soon as possible to limit the effects. If the damage is severe, re seeding will be necessary.

Bare or shaved patches often occurring on edges of lawn or on bumpy uneven lawns.

This is a familiar problem which can be improved by raising the cutting height of the mower and avoiding putting downward pressure on the handle.

Broad or narrow bands of short and long grass, may be caused by mowing when it is too wet or by always mowing in the same direction.

Try to cut the lawn more often before it becomes too long. Avoid cutting when the grass is too wet. Top dressing will help to reduce uneven surfaces.

This can be caused by a number of reasons and can be recognized by the grass looking bruised.
The most likely causes are dull blades on the lawnmower or cutting  when the grass is too wet.

It is advisable to have your lawnmower serviced regularly and the blades sharpened.
Cutting in the right conditions will also help to avoid mowing problems.
