"Thank you for the excellent and prompt service. I am very happy with my new mower and will certainly be recommending you."

again."

"Order arrived at 9.00 this morning. Fantastic service, thankyou."

January/February

If weather is mild, occasionally cut the grass with the mower blades set high - to maintain about an inch of growth. Check equipment. Keep off the grass if frozen or waterlogged..

March

Rake the grass thoroughly using a special rake or wheeled equipment. Spike the lawn all over and apply lawn sand if necessary. Keep mower blades high and just 'top` the grass.

April

Re-seed bare patches, apply fertilisers and moss killer towards the end of the month. Mow regularly, lowering mower blades gradually to 3/4 inch.

May

Keep mowing, increasing the frequency as required. Treat with selective weedkillers or combined weed/feed preparations if you haven't fed the lawn in April.

June

Mow lawns twice a week if possible working to a definite pattern. Water grass if necessary, remembering to soak thoroughly.

July

Treat grass with second application of fertiliser or weedkiller/fertiliser. Water in as necessary. Don't cropgrass too closely - raise mower blades as required.

August

Keep on mowing regularly and watering as necessary. (You must have a licence to use a sprinkler or hand-held hose). Fill any cracks caused by drought with a mixture of sharp sand and soil.

September

Raise mower blades to allow the grass to thicken and protect roots from winter frost and snow, and increase interval between mowings. Apply Autumn-Winter fertiliser, weedkiller and mosskiller.

October

Rakeout thatch from turf and spike lawn to assist drainage. Brush in peat and sharp sand. A rotary mower with a collector is particularly useful at this time of year to collect dead or loose leaves. Continue cutting as necessary.

November

Use a stiff broom to remove wormcasts from the grass. Raise mower blades to allow 1 inch cut. Don't mow if very wet as this will compact the soil and encourage waterlogging. Treat "fairyrings" with fungicide.
