Why Should You Feed Your Lawn?

If you’ve ever wondered why some lawns look thick, green, and healthy while others remain patchy and pale, feeding is often the key difference. Grass, just like any other plant, needs nutrients to grow strong and resist problems.

Why does feeding make such a difference?

Over time, lawns use up the nutrients in the soil. Rainfall can also wash them away, especially on lighter soils common around Cheltenham. Without regular feeding, grass becomes thin, weak, and more prone to weeds, moss, and disease.

Benefits of feeding your lawn

• Stronger growth: Helps grass recover quickly after mowing or wear.

• Greener colour: Nutrients, especially nitrogen, keep your lawn looking vibrant.

• Fewer weeds and moss: A healthy, dense lawn leaves less space for them to take hold.

• Improved drought tolerance: Fed lawns develop deeper roots, making them more resilient during dry spells.

• Better overall health: Feeding strengthens grass against disease and everyday stress.

When should you feed your lawn?

The best approach is a seasonal feeding programme:

• Spring: Use a high-nitrogen fertiliser like Johnson Lawn Care Direct Spring Surge Pro to kickstart growth and green-up.

• Summer: Switch to Summer Boost Pro, which maintains health and colour during heat without forcing too much growth.

• Autumn: Apply Autumn Guard Pro, high in potassium, to strengthen roots before winter.

• Winter: If needed, Winter Shield Pro helps with moss control and maintaining turf health through the colder months.

Do lawns need feeding every year?

Yes – especially if you want a lawn that stays lush and healthy. Feeding little and often is far better than neglecting your lawn until it looks tired.
