Lawn Care for
August
New Lawns

Apply fertiliser to areas for new lawns. Leave for one week then sow.

Established Lawns

Continue to mow, allowing a litle extra length in very dry/hot weather. Spike the lawn with a fork to improve drainage. In excessive heat leave a very thin layer of short cuttings on the lawn as a sun shield.
