10 Reasons Why You Should Use a Lawn Treatment Service This Spring
I rarely go for the self-serving blog titles - however, sometimes I feel the need to be straight up with you.
Despite us being able to make a difference all year around (as we did for the 2,000 odd lawns that benefitted from their winter treatment!), spring is the appealing time for many to get to work in the garden. So, read on if you are a house-proud homeowner whose lawn has seen better times...
1. Kickstart Growth
It shouldn't come as a shock to hear that if your lawn is yet to have a fertiliser treatment applied this spring, then it's going to be lagging behind where it could and should be.
Winter rainfall leads to nutrient leaching from the soil - it can't sit there forever and gets flushed away during the wettest months. Now the soil temperature is high enough to support growth, the thousands of grass plants that make up your lawn are looking for food to thicken up and thrive.
A lawn treatment service doesn't use any old DIY fertiliser. They purchase professional grade products in bulk to get the best from your lawn.
2. Final Moss Treatment Opportunity
We're finding that moss is rife this year. It loves damp conditions and poorly aerated clay soils. However, we can't treat for moss all year around...
If it be via granular or liquid application, moss treatment requires moisture to work well. As a lawn treatment service we use a wetting agent within our moss treatments to get the very best from it. Moss treatment dehydrates moss spores and will dehydrate grass too if applied at a high enough rate or in dry enough conditions.
If you have a moss issue, this can be dealt with by a lawn treatment service via both treatments and mechanical means. Not only that, they can help to resolve what is causing it in the first place so it doesn't come back year on year!
Don't let moss be the boss! These images of this lawn near Sutton Coldfield were taken just 3 months apart!
3. Weed Control Expertise
It will not come as a shock to hear that professional weed treatments are going to be much more effective on your lawn. Not only that, it is far safer for both you and the environment.
Many weeds require professional intervention for control. We have also seen many DIY weed control disasters where too much product or the wrong product has been used on a lawn - and even killed the whole lot! You do not need to purchase and store such chemicals when a professional can do this properly.
4. Time-Saving Convenience
In 2025 you can teach yourself anything if you are prepared to dedicate time and a few mistakes (such as the above!) to it. There's this thing called YouTube that has billions of hours worth of material on ANYTHING. I've even been a guest on the biggest lawn care YouTube channel in Europe a couple of times.
But do you have that time? Or, would you rather spend it elsewhere?
5. Expert Knowledge and Experience
Our team isn't made up of unqualified handymen (sorry to handymen). Leading lawn treatment services attract the best, and have comprehensive internal and external training and development for their teams too. This industry continues to evolve with technology, product and machinery changing every year.
You could take a punt with a start-up lawn treatment service, but they haven't made and learnt from the mistakes that we have in our time! We've been here long enough to have refined our service many times over, without being old in the tooth either.
6. Long Term Lawn Health - Get The Job Done!
Many homeowners approach the spring with enthusiasm for their lawns - which is great!
However, this rarely lasts. The spring scarifying and lawn feed gives way to weekends with the family, holidays and everything else life brings.
Lawn care through the winter? Not for many! Issues in the spring - aplenty!
Having a lawn treatment service means that your lawn gets exactly what it needs, when it needs it, all year around. Whether an issue or a machine playing up? Well that becomes our problem, not yours!
7. Safe For All
Your home and garden is a safe haven - and that doesn't change when employing the services of a professional lawn treatment company. The products that we use are safe for pets and children as soon as they are dry - it's as simple as that.
8. Grubs and Disease - Don't Get Caught Out
There's usually something going on with our beloved lawns. Irregular weather patterns bring varying challenges every year. When we see something once, we're on high alert for it everywhere. We get all the early warning signals!
Grubs and disease can be devastating for lawns. Knowing what you are dealing with as soon as possible, along with your lawn benefitting from professional products, is vital to seeing the fastest possible recovery.

9. Be Prepared For Anything!
On a similar note, working alongside a lawn treatment service is a huge help during extreme conditions. We share a monthly newsletter (and even urgent updates have been known) with our customers and wider email list packed with hints and tips.
With a very dry start to the spring this year, we are already advising customers regarding watering practices, and how a granular wetting agent application could make all the difference to their lawns this year!

Consistency is key with many things in life, and lawn treatment is no different.
