Annual Lawn Care
Our comprehensive annual programme addresses nutrient balance, weed control, and moss management through seasonal treatments. Technicians apply sustainable fertilisers and environmentally friendly herbicides tailored to your lawn's specific needs. Regular aeration and scarification improve soil health while overseeding restores thinning areas, creating a dense, vibrant lawn that withstands UK weather conditions.
Sports Turf Care
Specialist maintenance for bowling greens, tennis courts, and croquet lawns ensures optimal playing surfaces. Our NPTC-qualified technicians implement twice-monthly treatments and autumn renovations using tractor-mounted equipment for precise aeration, top-dressing, and thatch management. This maintains consistent ball roll and surface resilience while preserving grass health through high-traffic seasons.
Organic Treatments
This 100% chemical-free programme uses natural fertilisers and biological soil amendments to nourish lawns while improving microbial activity. Our organic approach controls weeds through competitive grass establishment rather than synthetic herbicides, creating a safer environment for families and pets while maintaining year-round lawn vitality through natural nutrient cycles.
Lawn Renovation
For severely damaged lawns, we combine deep aeration, heavy scarification, and precision overseeding with soil amendments. This intensive process breaks compacted layers, removes thatch build-up, and introduces new grass varieties to create a dense sward resistant to weeds and moss. Follow-up treatments ensure successful establishment of improved lawn structure and appearance.
Moss Control
Our integrated approach combines pH adjustment, improved drainage through aeration, and selective treatment applications to create unfavourable conditions for moss growth. Technicians address underlying causes like shade and compaction while promoting grass density through tailored fertilisation, preventing moss recurrence while maintaining lawn health and appearance.

Report
In August last year, our lawn was a mass of weeds and moss with very little grass. It was also very uneven with bumps and dents all over. In September, the lawntech technician came to level out the lawn, partly reseeded it and applied weed and moss killer. With regular treatments the lawn now resembles a beautiful green carpet. Despite the presence a dog, who regularly rolls and plays on it, the lawn is lush and healthy with absolutely no weeds or moss at all. On every visit, we receive a personal report on the lawns condition and appropriate advice. Not only is our regular technician extremely

Rome wasnt built in a day, and I am not having a full transformative renovation on my lawn. I have just had a 3rd treatment and the weeds are diminishing fast and the grass is looking good, thickening up and showing evenly lush green growth. I am very pleased. Lawntech have shown enthusiastic knowledge, willingness to talk things through and all staff have been super friendly.

Punctual, professional, careful, courteous and communicative. We have used Lawntech for nearly five years and have always been impressed with the work carried out. Our lawn goes from strength to strength each year with the treatments provided. Every operator has been smart, respectful of our property and good at explaining what and why a treatment has been carried out. We are really pleased to recommend Lawntech over and over again.

I'm in my first year with Lawntech and very impressed so far with the way that their fertilisers and weedkillers are restoring the colour and quality of the lawn whilst eradicating weeds (and there were lots). Aeration, scarification and re-seeding are scheduled soon. Everyone I've spoken to, whether on the phone or in person, has been friendly, knowledgeable and unfailingly helpful. They are professionals with the right (and from what I've seen, well maintained) equipment for the job and always follow up and do what they say they will. Unlike some other companies, Lawntech apply the treatment
