What is Lawn Repair and Renovation?
Even the best-kept lawns need an overhaul from time to time to rid them of surface matter which could be preventing them from prospering, such as dead matter, moss and thatch. This organic matter blocks your lawn from the most important nutrient of all - oxygen.
Our Lawn Repair and Renovation service is typically made up of the process of Scarifying (powered raking), Aeration (mechanical spiking) and Overseeding.
While you may possess a lesser lawn rake yourself, having professional-level equipment on your lawn will achieve a far more thorough job of subsurface thatch removal and deep aeration, thereby producing the best possible seed germination and long term lawn health.
A Lawn Renovation means:
- No need to buy, hire, store or maintain additional machinery
- No need to carry out the hard labour required, nor the risk of a DIY scarifying nightmare
- Excellent value for money with three specialist operations in one using sports club standard machinery
- Complete peace of mind with our Autumn Germination Guarantee and follow up seeding as required - we are that confident in our process and our team

Specialist Lawn Renovation Services
We understand that every lawn is different. From our position as an independent lawn care provider we tailor our Lawn Repair & Renovation service to the needs of your lawn.
Our Lawn Survey highlights the underlying causes of common lawn problems which our Lawn Repair and Renovation works to resolve. We only carry out mechanical work at the correct times of year to create maximum value to the appearance of your home and garden.
Our Scarification process is made up of multiple passes in order to remove vast levels of unhealthy sub-surface thatch - a contributing factor to many common lawn issues. We use professional machinery with fixed blades designed to operate below the thatch layer. The grooves left behind from thorough scarification are ideal when Overseeding.
We carry out lawn Aerations with the aim of creating as many holes as possible, as deep as possible, in lawns. Not only is this a key process for re-oxygenating turf, but these holes will become home to deep, healthy grass roots in conjunction with our Lawn Care Treatment Programme.
Like any other plant, grass must be planted in the soil to grow.
Following our mechanical work is the ideal time to overseed your lawn, with the holes and grooves present from the professional machinery. This provides us with the freedom to carry out the most thorough job possible for the absolute best results.
All of our lawn renovations include a complimentary seeding check-up 6 - 8 weeks later, in conjunction with the next seasonal visit of our Lawn Care Treatment Programme.
We have the knowledge and products to gain the very best from your Lawn Renovation.
We can include a Water Conserver application on light soils, where lawns may be competing with trees for moisture, or where the turf condition of localised dry patch is present.
Our Soil Improver is best suited to heavy and poor soils which commonly sit waterlogged. Following a Lawn Renovation is the ideal time to get these nutrients into the soil.

FAQ's
WHAT IS LAWN RENOVATION?
Lawn renovation is a more intensive service used to repair tired, patchy or heavily damaged lawns. It will include scarification, aeration, overseeding and optional top dressing to restore density and improve overall lawn health.
HOW DO I KNOW IF MY LAWN NEEDS RENOVATION RATHER THAN A STANDARD TREATMENT PLAN?
If your lawn is very thin, patchy, uneven, mossy or has bare areas that are not improving with routine treatments, renovation is often the better option.
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME OF YEAR FOR LAWN RENOVATION?
The best time of year is usually early-autumn when soil temperatures and moisture levels aid seed germination and recovery. Spring also provides a short renovation window.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SEE RESULTS AFTER A LAWN RENOVATION?
You may start to see early improvement within a few weeks, but full results usually build over the following weeks and months as the new grass establishes.
WILL LAWN RENOVATION FIX BARE PATCHES AND THIN GRASS?
Yes, lawn renovation is designed to improve patchy and worn lawns, but the final result will depend on continued treatments and homeower aftercare.
DO I NEED TO BE AT HOME FOR A LAWN RENOVATION VISIT?
No, as long as we have access to the lawn, we can usually carry out the work without you being at home.
CAN LAWN RENOVATION BE CARRIED OUT IF I'M AWAY?
Sometimes yes, but for more involved work and aftercare it is often better if you are available or can follow the aftercare instructions closely afterwards.
WHAT SHOULD I DO BEFORE A LAWN RENOVATION?
Mowing the lawn, shortly before our visit, and a lower than usual height of cut. Removing any obstacles and making sure we have clear access is also required.
WHAT SHOULD I DO AFTER A LAWN RENOVATION?
Aftercare is important. You may need to water the lawn, avoid heavy use and follow any mowing guidance we provide while the new grass establishes.
HOW OFTEN DOES A LAWN NEED RENOVATION?
Most lawns do not need full renovation every year. It is usually recommended only when the lawn has deteriorated beyond what regular seasonal treatments can correct. This could be every 2-5 years.
