For every lawn top-dressing job, we send a team of two experienced gardeners. They will come fully equipped with all of the necessary tools and materials to carry out the service.
If you don’t want to interact with the gardeners once they arrive at your address, a contactless service can be arranged. You’ll just have to let us know in advance how to access your garden, so that the team can get straight to work upon arrival.
During their initial visit, the gardeners will take a soil sample from your lawn. This will help us determine your soil’s pH level, Phosphorus index, Potassium index, Magnesium index, and screen rate. Once we know what your existing soil’s pH levels are, we’ll be able to choose the right top-dressing for it.
The top-dressing we use will be of a high-quality and close in structure to your existing soil. This is extremely important, as the top-dressing we’ll apply will at some point become part of your lawn’s root zone.
All of the top-dressing we use has been inspected and treated for weeds. So, the chance of a weed popping up from our top-dressing is slim to none.
Our overseeding service is best performed during spring or autumn, as the average daily temperatures need to be right above 13ºC in order for the grass seed to germinate properly. In perfect conditions, it takes between 7 and 21 days for this germination to occur.
In order to get the most out of this service, we recommend you have us overseed your lawn once we’ve already spread some quality topsoil on it. This way the seeds won’t be buried in too deep.
When it comes to the process of overseeding, we use specific spreaders that redistribute all of the seeds evenly.
As for the seeds, you can choose what type you want us to use. Our catalogue at the moment includes the following:
All of the above-mentioned seeds can be used for overseeding to improve the quality of your lawn.
Top-dressing and overseeding are tricky gardening tasks that can easily be performed in the wrong way. That’s why trusting an expert gardening company is usually the way to go when you need these two things done.
