Lawn Therapy FAQs

Just 2-3 weeks from the date of the first treatment! Within 10 days, you will see the leaf of each weed has browned at the tip, which means it has died at the root. These will disappear in your usual mowing routine. A few days after that, you will see a quick improvement in the lawns colour and thickness.

For example, if you start in Winter we have the opportunity to deal with any moss issues whereas if you had waited until Spring you would have to wait for months until the moss problem is cared for as part of your usual programme or pay for an additional treatment to deal with moss control. During Autumn/Winter, we also harden the roots ready for a quick recovery in Spring.

This is because, although many gardeners understand the principles behind Lawn Treatment, they find they’re unable to get hold of the products we use, do not have the qualifications and licenses necessary to apply the products safely, legally and effectively, do not have access to the specialised machinery we use and are sometimes unable to keep ahead of developments in the turf-care industry.

Using Shaw garden care is safer and less expensive. Off-the-shelf products may, at first appear cheaper but note how often they must be used to achieve the same results. Our polymer-coated fertilisers are high concentration and time-released over 8-10 weeks, at which point, we return to feed the lawn again with an adjusted formulation. Effectively, your lawn is being spoon-fed with the correct fertiliser every day of the growing season but you only pay for the four visits.

Your Shaw garden care Greenkeeper will know exactly which Fertiliser to use to produce the best results for your grass and soil type in current weather conditions. Many people purchase “off-the-shelf” products, apply them to their lawn, only to find that their neighbour is paying less to use Shaw garden care with more effective results.

This is without taking into account the cost of buying the different weedkillers needed for the different weeds in your lawn. The cost could be on you and your family’s health too – as NPTC certified greenkeepers, we’re well aware of the dangers and long-term health implications of breathing-in pesticides while applying them.

Keeping half-full bottles of weed killer in your garage could be slowly poisoning the air you and your family breathe and could cause devastating effects if they got into your children’s hands.

For two main reasons:

1). Our pricing works off the assumption that we are/will be treating many lawns in the same area – this keeps fuel costs down.

2). Because we carry-out hundreds of treatments per year, we’re able to buy the most expensive products (many of which cannot be purchased without a license) at a discounted, bulk-price.
