General Questions

If you are considering a lawn care service, then you may be wondering when the best time is to start this.

The simple answer is that you can start a lawn care programme at any time of the year, and the sooner the better. Your lawn will always benefit regardless of the timing.

At TopGrass we have a range of seasonal treatments tailored to the specific time of year as well as the unique needs of your lawn. These are designed to keep your grass in great shape all year round and can be started whenever you’re ready.

Our Season Starter Treatment will give your lawn a boost after the cooler months and is ideal for helping your grass get into great condition during February to April. You’ll notice a difference in the condition of your lawn after just a few weeks. The service also includes a Season Starter Health Check where your lawn technician will analyse and assess the lawn condition and provide advice and recommendations from the results of the analysis. Following this advice will enable the lawn to look its best in the coming season. 

As temperatures continue to rise our Early Season Treatment keeps your grass growing healthy and strong and continues to target new weeds, while the Mid Season Treatment promotes further weed control, growth and colour during the driest and hottest time of year. Combined with regular watering, you’ll be surprised how green your grass can be during these months.

As temperatures start to cool, it’s time for the Late Season Treatment, from October to December. With the weather getting wetter, this treatment focuses on inhibiting moss growth while simultaneously strengthening the root zone so that it can survive the winter. It will also improve the colour of your lawn during these months.

An End of Season Treatment will continue to treat any moss, help inhibit disease and will also green up your lawn during slow growth.

An aeration service is recommended at least once a year. An aerator is a cam-driven machine that spikes holes into the ground in order to enable air, nutrients and water to reach the grass roots zone more effectively. It also aids with soil compaction and encourages root growth through agitating the ground as it propels itself forwards. This service is usually carried out during the summer months.

Important renovation services such as our Lawn Improver and Total Reseed programmes are also available and are carried out from August to October. These services are reserved for those lawns that need a little more help in becoming a lush green lawn.

The sooner you start lawn care services, the sooner you will have a healthy and thriving lawn that you can enjoy and be proud of all year round. So why wait?

While the majority of people would very much like to get some expert help with their lawn, some are concerned about committing to a long term contract. With TopGrass you don’t need to worry about this as we don’t tie you into any contract.

We are happy to provide our services for as long as you need/want and there is no obligation to have a certain number of treatments or to keep using us for a specific length of time. We believe that our clients should have as much flexibility as they want when it comes to using our lawn services.

That being said, we always recommend at least the Basic Package, which includes all 5 treatments, to achieve the best results for your lawn.

If you are interested in finding out more about what we offer, why not give us a call and we can talk you through our services while also providing you with a free quotation? We will let you know what your lawn will need in order to improve it and keep it in top condition, but there is no hard sell and no contract to sign. You can choose to have as many or as few services as you would like to.

We offer seasonal lawn treatments to suit the different times of year as well as lawn renovation to get your lawn back into top condition.

Our seasonal treatments include a Season Starter Treatment, an Early Season Treatment, a Mid Season Treatment, a Late Season Treatment and an End of Season Treatment. These will help to keep your grass in great condition throughout the year and are designed to suit the individual needs of your lawn.

Our Lawn Renovation service packages include aeration, scarification and over-seeding (at varying levels of intensity), carried out during the late summer/autumn. This improves the condition of the soil, enabling it to breathe more easily and thereby allowing the grass to get the nourishment it needs from the soil in order to be as healthy and green as possible.

There is no obligation to sign up for any or all of these treatments. We will advise what the best course of action is for your lawn, dependant on its current condition, but it is completely up to you as to whether you would like us to go ahead with this or whether you would like to pick and choose the treatments that you consider the most important and useful to you. We are more than happy to do as much or as little as you would like us to.

Apart from the fact that you are under no obligation and are not tied to a contract with TopGrass, giving you complete flexibility, there are plenty of other good reasons to choose us to service your lawn.

We use professional products and equipment to get the best results for you. These are the same as those used on famous golf courses and sports fields and can’t be bought in retail outlets. All our staff are also police checked and trained to a very high standard, our technicians have undertaken the  City & Guilds (NPTC) qualification to apply pesticides, and we also have staff with the BASIS qualification, which means they are qualified to advise on and recommend correct weed killer use. So your lawn will be in excellent hands!

We do not offer a mowing service, however, we can advise on the best way to mow your lawn. We can also work alongside your cutting regime when planning treatments.

The most convenient, time saving and cost spreading way to pay is through monthly instalments. It is quick and easy to set up with our office personnel and once set up, you can sit back and relax with the knowledge that all your lawn care needs are being met, stress-free.

Other methods of payment include Autopay, which is a pay as you go system. This is where a card is securely registered to your account and each time a service is completed, payment will be taken automatically within 24 hours. This means you don’t need to worry about remembering to call us every time you need to pay a bill. You can set this up through your online account and also use this platform to make one off payments if you wish. Alternatively, you can phone the office and we can set it up for you directly.

One of the reasons some people may be hesitant to use a lawn treatment service is that they don’t want to be tied down to being home at certain times. However, with TopGrass this isn’t a problem. As long as we can have access to your lawn, we can provide the treatment for you without the need for you to be at home.

Here are some more reasons why you can trust TopGrass to look after your lawn even when you are not in.
