From jungle to garden, the careful way.
Back from holiday, moved into a new place, or the rain just wouldn’t stop? We bring long-neglected lawns back to life in stages, so your grass recovers beautifully.
Gentle cuts, staged over time.
Cutting an overgrown lawn too short in one pass strips nutrients, stresses the roots and can leave you with yellow patches for weeks. We do it the right way.
- Careful inspection, we walk the lawn to remove stones, toys and hidden debris.
- Gentle first cut, never more than one-third of the grass height at once.
- Staged reductions, we lower the blade over follow-up visits until it’s back to a healthy height.
- Clippings managed, raked up or collected so the grass can breathe.
- Recovery time, time between cuts for the lawn to bounce back.
- Finishing touches, strimming around edges and tidy borders.
Stripping a long lawn bare can kill it.
Grass blades carry nutrients. Cut too much at once and the roots starve, you get a yellow, patchy lawn that takes a long summer to recover. Our staged method protects the grass so it greens up again quickly.
The one-third rule
Never remove more than one-third of the grass height in a single cut. On a 20cm lawn, the first cut should leave around 13cm, we then bring it down further on later visits.
Let’s get your lawn back.
We’ll pop round, take a look and give you a clear plan, no pressure, no obligation.
