Grass Will Soon Be Greener In Highland Perthshire

Scottish Lawncare, a new venture set up and operated by Colin Menzies of Aberfeldy, is offering to make Highland Perhshire an even greener and more pleasant environment. The firm will not only provide an aftercare service for newly landscaped gardens but also renovate run-down lawns without the need to dig them up and start again.

An initial free lawn analysis will take into account the existing grass varieties, their health and suitability to the soil type, and the extent of moss and weed invasion. A programme is then adapted for the lawn to return it to a green and healthy condition without moss or weeds.

A lawncare programme will usually involve four treatments a year, starting in early spring and continuing through to late autumn, with the use of slow release fertilizers. The treatments can start at any stage of the season but the best time to overseed with new grass is in the spring or autumn.

 

Colin has a farming background, but has had 16 years experience in the landscape industry working for WB Grieve Groundworks. He and any of his technicians at Scottish Lawncare will be fully qualified in the application of pesticides. This gives the company access to professional products not available in garden centres and DIY shops. All products are children and pet safe once applied.

Other services available are aeration and scarification, which are very important for the continued health of the lawn and to keep moss at bay.

Colin’s initial target market is Perthshire but, as the name suggests, he hopes the business will expand with technicians operating in other parts of the country.

For further information or to book a free lawn analysis contact Colin on 0844 8044 616 or visit www.scottishlawncare.co.uk
