  The lawn in the top picture looks pretty neat after a good summer of mowing and lawn care and now is the time for the autumn treatments. First up is the scarifier. As you can see even after one pass with the scarifier a lot of dead grass and thatch is brought to the surface. Next is the aerator to get plenty of holes into the soil to improve drainage and to allow nutrients and oxygen to the roots. A slow release autumn fertiliser is then applied to promote root growth and to harden the leaves for the winter. If necessary now is also the best time to apply grass seed either to bare or thin areas or to cover the whole lawn as an overseeding.
