Every homeowner dreams of a lush, green lawn, but in the UK’s unpredictable climate, it can be hard to know what to do and when. Too much fertiliser at the wrong time of year can burn your grass. Too little can leave it patchy and weak. That’s why following a seasonal lawn care routine is the best way to keep your garden looking its best.
Here’s a simple guide to the best lawn care routine for UK gardens, and how using a seasonal subscription kit like The Greener Garden Kit can take away the guesswork.
Spring Lawn Care (March – May)
Spring is the time to wake your lawn up after the long winter. Your grass needs a boost of nutrients to grow quickly and recover from cold weather damage.
Key tasks:
-
Apply a spring fertiliser rich in nitrogen to encourage fresh growth.
-
Overseed bare patches to thicken your lawn.
-
Start mowing regularly, keeping blades high at first.
-
Rake away moss and debris.
With The Greener Garden Kit, your spring box arrives with exactly what your lawn needs — no more standing in the fertiliser aisle wondering what to buy.
Summer Lawn Care (June – August)
In summer, lawns face heat, dryness, and heavy use from children and pets. Feeding your grass correctly helps it stay green even in warm, dry conditions.
Key tasks:
-
Use a summer fertiliser with controlled nutrients to keep growth balanced.
-
Water deeply once or twice a week during dry spells.
-
Mow little and often, never cutting more than a third of the grass height.
-
Watch for weeds and treat them before they spread.
A subscription kit ensures your summer pack is tailored to keep grass vibrant while protecting against drought stress.
Autumn Lawn Care (September – November)
Autumn is about strengthening your lawn’s roots before winter. What you do now determines how well your grass survives frost and cold weather.
Key tasks:
-
Apply an autumn fertiliser high in potassium and phosphorus for root health.
-
Scarify to remove thatch and moss.
-
Aerate the soil to improve drainage.
-
Reseed thin areas.
The Greener Garden Kit autumn pack arrives just in time to give your lawn a strong foundation for the colder months ahead.
Winter Lawn Care (December – February)
Grass growth slows in winter, but your lawn still needs protection. Neglecting it now often leads to weak, yellowing patches in spring.
Key tasks:
-
Apply a gentle winter feed that protects against frost and disease.
-
Avoid walking on frosty or waterlogged lawns.
-
Keep debris like leaves and branches cleared away.
-
Prepare your mower and tools for spring.
Winter packs from a lawn subscription service make sure your grass doesn’t just survive the season — it thrives when spring arrives.
Why a Seasonal Routine Matters
A good lawn care routine isn’t about working harder, it’s about working smarter. By following seasonal steps, your grass gets exactly what it needs at the right time, leading to:
-
Greener, healthier lawns all year round.
-
Fewer weeds, moss, and pests.
-
Stronger root systems that resist drought and frost.
-
Less stress and more enjoyment of your garden.
