Don’t let moss be the boss!
We are predicting lots of moss over the winter months, contributors to moss are:
- Compaction, this can be assisted by Aeration and our Soil Improver
- Thatch, this can be addressed with Scarification
- Cleaner air. Whilst clean air contributes to better human health and wellbeing, it also encourages moss growth.
Treating for moss and conditioning the grass plant will be our main focus on your winter visit. The treatment will help by dehydrating the moss, turning it brown and effectively shrinking it away from the grass and allowing the grass underneath to breath, grow and spread out. Raking out this treated moss helps breaks the life cycle and further reduces the plants ability to prosper.
