Does your Lawn Need Revitalizing - LD Total

1. Does your Lawn Need Revitalising? LD Total

2. Your Lawn • You spend time on your lawn and you want it to look good, both for you, and to keep the neighbours happy, but sometimes it may seem lacklustre revitalisation techniques may be the key to getting your lawn back to its healthy, happy best. • We recommend two revitalizing treatments, depending on the condition of your lawn. • Top dressing is best for lightly damaged, but healthy lawns, and • The Vertimow process is more of a total overhaul, preparing your lawn to recover from heavy damage.

3. Top Dressing your Lawn • Over time, lawns deplete the nutrients in the soil beneath them. • Top dressing is an effective way to give your lawn the boost it needs, and for a truly great-looking lawn, top dressing with organic compost every year is extremely important. • In most cases top dressing is done to boost nutrients and correct uneven areas in your lawn. • If yours is looking patchy or uneven, top dressing will likely set you right. Here’s how it works: • Organic compost is introduced on top of the grass, then watered in, to enrich the soil and encourage healthy growth. As the compost works its way down through the plant, it provides much needed nutrients at every level. • The decomposition of already present mulch, will increase, helping it to consume any "thatch" or dead grass that may be blocking moisture and sunlight and giving your lawn a dead look.

4. Top Dressing your Lawn (cont’d) • Compost encourages healthy, beneficial bacteria and fungi to reinvigorate the eco system inside your lawn. This will keep the thatch and clippings from building up over time, turning them into beneficial food for the lawn. • Lawn chemicals, such as weed and pest preventers can damage your grass. Top dressing can alleviate this damage and help restore a healthy lawn.

5. Vertimowing • Through the use of vertically spinning blades, the vertimow process can fix thatchy or scalped looking lawns. • Vertimow can help lawns with patchiness, sponginess or stubborn pest issues that don't seem to clear up. • Over time, a thick layer of thatch develops in the root system of your grass and can choke your lawn of nutrients and moisture, as well as encourage bad bacteria, pests and fungi. • LD Total have all your residential landscaping Perth needs covered.

6. Vertimowing (cont’d) Here’s how vertimowing works, and how it helps your lawn: • Vertical blades cut down, through the lawn to remove the old, dead grass. They lift out the spongy layer, where it is bagged and removed, leaving healthy, green grass behind. • This allows air, water and nutrients to reach the root layer, allowing newer, thicker grass to grow and helping to eliminate problems. A healthy lawn makes for easier maintenance and less expense in the long run. • If left unchecked, the thatch issue continues to build with each cutting, until it could eventually kill your lawn altogether. The Vertimow process takes your lawn back to an earlier state, leaving younger, healthier grass in its wake.
