Sutton-in-Ashfield has a lot of family homes with front and back lawns, and the ones that look best are simply the ones that are cut regularly at the right height. Regular mowing is what keeps grass thick enough to crowd out moss and weeds.
The height changes through the year: a little lower through the fast spring growth, higher through summer so the grass copes with dry spells, and higher again as the growth slows in autumn. Scalping a lawn in a hot spell is the quickest way to turn it brown.
Edges are cut along every border and path, because a crisp edge is what makes a lawn look looked after. In Sutton-in-Ashfield gardens with long straight paths, a neat edge makes the whole front of a house look sharper.
Seasonal care happens alongside the mowing: feeding in spring and autumn, moss treatment where the lawn is shaded or damp, and autumn scarifying and aeration for lawns that have been worn down by a summer of use.
Visits are weekly or fortnightly through the season, with clippings collected and taken away.
A well-kept lawn in Sutton-in-Ashfield also makes a difference when a house is going on the market or a new tenant is moving in. Buyers and tenants notice a green, even lawn with crisp edges straight away, and regular cuts through the months before a sale keep it looking its best for the photographs and the viewings.
Regular visits also mean problems get spotted early. A patch of disease, a new mole hill or a drain that has started to flood the lawn in Sutton-in-Ashfield is far easier to deal with in its first week than after a month, and it gets mentioned rather than mown over. A lawn that stays wet, a hedge that has gone woody at the base, or a fence leaning under the weight of a shrub are worth looking at before the next season makes them worse.
So the grass stays strong through dry spells.
Along every border and path.
