Lawn Treatments & Feeding
Seasonal lawn care with products you can trust
A healthy lawn doesn’t happen by chance. It’s the result of feeding it at the right time, with the right products, and knowing what your lawn actually needs. That’s where I come in.
I use a professional-grade seasonal programme based on Johnson Lawn Care Direct's excellent range alongside the brilliant organic moss treatment Mo Bacter. I use the same approach in my own garden and for lawns across Cheltenham and the surrounding villages.
What does your lawn need?
That depends on the time of year, the weather we’ve had, and the soil beneath your feet. But most lawns benefit from a clear, seasonal routine:
Spring Feed (March–May)
Helps the lawn wake up, grow strong roots, and green up after winter.
-
Nitrogen-rich for growth
-
Ideal timing: after the first or second mow
-
Often combined with moss control or scarification
Summer Feed (June–August)
Keeps colour and strength during dry spells and heat.
-
Balanced feed to reduce stress
-
Won’t encourage soft, mossy growth
-
Works well alongside regular mowing
Autumn Feed (September–November)
Prepares the grass for winter and supports root recovery.
-
Lower nitrogen, higher potassium
-
Encourages disease resistance
-
Great time to overseed too
Why use professional treatments?
Shop-bought lawn feeds often give a quick green-up but can lead to thatch, moss, or even damage in dry conditions. I use Johnson Lawn Care Direct’s proven slow-release fertilisers, which feed gently over time. Because I apply them by hand, I can tailor the treatment to suit your lawn.
What about moss?
If your lawn struggles with moss (and many around Cheltenham do), I often recommend Mo Bacter, a natural, child, and pet-safe moss treatment that not only clears moss but actually feeds the grass. There is no need to rake the moss out; Mo Bacter breaks it down safely.
Looking for a full programme?
I offer seasonal lawn treatment packages that follow this feeding routine throughout the year, plus extras like scarification, overseeding, and aeration where needed.

Not sure where to start?
Every lawn is different. If yours looks tired, patchy, or full of weeds, I’m happy to pop by and have a look.
