Hire a Trusted Landscaper for Lawn Restoration & Repair

Getting a beautiful, weed-free lawn in your garden takes some work. While grass is usually quite hardy, your lawn can deteriorate quickly under the wrong conditions and with improper treatment. Some common lawn issues include being taken over by weeds, soggy, or grass dying off from a lack of water.

If you’d like a beautifully manicured lawn that’s the envy of your neighbours, consider hiring a lawn specialist found via Ezy Peazy. These experts can take care of all lawn-related tasks, starting with preparing the base for a healthy lawn, sowing lawn seed, cultivating the grass, and mowing it using good quality mowers.

Here’s how a lawn expert can help restore and repair your lawn:

Weed Control For Lawn

There are two ways to remove weeds from your lawn. The first is to remove them by hand, which could take a long time if you have a big lawn. The second way is to use a herbicide to kill the weeds. However, with this option, it’s essential not to use a herbicide that also kills your lawn at the same time. You can get selective herbicides that will kill a specific weed or non-selective herbicides that will kill a range of plants (although you will need to be careful when using this type of herbicide).

If you’re unsure where to start, or the job’s too big for you to do yourself, you can find a lawn specialist through Ezy Peazy to help. They can do weeding by hand or apply the correct herbicide.

Removing Unwanted, Dead Or Damaged Trees

While trees are a great addition to any garden, there are times when it’s better to have them removed. This could be because they’ve outgrown the space, pose a hazard, or are dead or damaged. Depending on the size of the tree, you might be able to remove some of it yourself, but if it’s larger, you should call in a professional arborist.

You can hire a tree removal specialist through Ezy Peazy. They can fell the tree, arrange for the stump to be ground or removed, and then level it. Once lawn remediation has been done over the spot where the tree was, you’ll never notice it was even there!

Grading & Installing Lawn

When installing a lawn, you may not know it’s best practice to grade it. This involves levelling your lawn, so it has a gentle incline.

This is because to remain healthy, the lawn needs to have sufficient drainage, so water doesn’t pool and kill the grass. By grading the ground your lawn is on, you’re introducing a slope so water can run off. If done correctly, the incline is unlikely to be significant, and you may not even notice the slight slope.

Once the ground has been graded, the next step is correctly preparing the ground for planting the new lawn. This will include introducing the right soil and fertiliser to give the grass the best chance to grow into a lush lawn.

Mowing & Manicuring Lawn

Mowing your lawn isn’t just about helping it look good; it is also crucial for the health of the grass. There are various factors to consider when mowing your lawn, including the type of grass and the season.

A key factor is to ensure you don’t cut your grass too short, even if you think it will mean you can do the job less often. And, while it might look neater to pick up the grass trimmings in the mower’s grass catcher, leaving them on your lawn is a great way to help retain moisture and add nutrients back into the ground.

Another part of the lawn manicuring process is edging, which leaves your lawn with sharp edges. To achieve this effect, you require a special trimming tool that you can buy from your local hardware stores like Bunnings or Mitre 10.

If you’re unsure how short you should cut your grass, whether it’s an appropriate time to leave the clippings behind or if they should go onto the compost, or you simply don’t have the time or patience to edge your lawn, you can find a lawn specialist through Ezy Peazy to help. Their grass mowing and manicuring expertise means your lawn will look well-presented all year round.

Feeding Lawn

If you want a great-looking lawn, it’s important to feed it regularly. Having a healthy lawn also means there’s less chance that weeds can take hold. Several different lawn feeds are available; one is suitable for a lawn that’s already weed-free, while others contain added ingredients that help kill any existing weeds.

When to feed your lawn depends on the state of your lawn, and the timeframes could be anything from every few months to twice a year as you head into spring and autumn. For the best advice on which feed to use, when and how often, ask advice from a lawn specialist that you can find through Ezy Peazy.

Weeding & Mulching Garden Beds

If garden beds surround your lush lawn, you’ll naturally want these to stay in tip-top condition too. Like with your lawn, it’s important to weed them regularly to keep them looking good and prevent them from being taken over by unwanted plants. It’s also recommended to apply mulch regularly to help avoid weed regrowth and help retain moisture in your garden beds.

Looking After A Plant’s Health

Gardens are not set and forgotten; they require constant care and maintenance to ensure they stay healthy and thrive. Alongside weeding your garden and mowing the grass, you’ll also want to watch out for diseases or pests. And, if you notice something unwanted happening, you’ll want to treat the problem as soon as possible. Common steps include:

• Applying pesticides.
• Pruning plants to remove the disease.
• Removing dead or dying plants.
  

If you’re unsure what to do to maintain your plant’s health or how best to treat diseases, it’s worth calling in a plant expert. They will ensure your plants are well looked after and are, therefore, less likely to be affected by pests and disease. If these occur, they will treat them appropriately as soon as possible to give the plant the best chance for recovery.
