Garden Maintenance Northwich
Northwich, Cheshire
April 2024
Introduction
As the seasons shift and the weather becomes more favourable, it is the perfect time to give your lawn the care and attention it deserves. A well-maintained lawn not only enhances the overall appearance of your garden but also contributes to a healthier and more resilient outdoor space. This project outlines a series of essential lawn treatments designed to ensure your grass remains lush, green, and thriving throughout the year. Each step focuses on improving the lawn’s structure, vitality, and overall condition, creating an environment where grass can flourish.
Aeration plays a vital role in maintaining lawn health. This process alleviates soil compaction, which commonly occurs due to foot traffic, weather conditions, and natural settling. By creating small holes in the soil, aeration allows air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deeper into the root zone. As a result, the grassroots gain improved access to essential elements, supporting stronger growth and enhanced nutrient absorption. Regular aeration encourages deeper root systems, making the lawn more tolerant of heat, drought, and everyday wear.
Scarification is the next important step, focusing on the removal of thatch, the layer of dead grass, moss, and organic matter that builds up on the soil surface. Excessive thatch restricts airflow and prevents water from reaching the roots, ultimately weakening the lawn. By scarifying, you improve circulation, enhance water penetration, and promote a healthier growing environment. This treatment results in a more resilient lawn that responds better to fertilisers and natural rainfall.
Applying a tailored spring fertiliser provides a much-needed nutritional boost. Fertilisation replenishes nutrients that the soil may be lacking after winter and supports vigorous new growth. A carefully selected fertiliser ensures your lawn receives the right balance of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, improving colour, density, and root strength.
Effective weed control is essential to prevent unwanted plants from competing with your grass. By applying pre-emergent treatments and spot-treating existing weeds, you maintain a clean, uniform lawn. Staying ahead of weed growth preserves the health of your grass and prevents long-term problems.
Overseeding helps fill in thin or bare patches, improving the lawn’s appearance and boosting its overall density. Using high-quality grass seed ensures strong germination and supports long-lasting results.

As we wave goodbye to January and welcome February, our gardens quietly await the onset of spring. This period is critical for garden maintenance, ensuring your outdoor spaces are primed for the upcoming bloom. In this blog, our garden maintenance experts in Cheshire offer advice on preparing your garden for spring.
Begin by tidying up your garden. Remove any fallen leaves, dead branches, and debris that have accumulated over winter. This not only enhances the appearance of your garden but also prevents the spread of pests and diseases. Remember, Acorn Landscape Services can assist in clearing your garden, providing a neat canvas for spring.
Late winter is the ideal time for pruning most deciduous trees and shrubs. Pruning encourages healthy growth and flowering. However, it’s important to identify which plants benefit from winter pruning. We possess the knowledge to appropriately prune your plants, ensuring their optimal growth in spring.
The end of January and the start of February is the perfect time to prepare your soil. Digging over your beds, removing weeds, and adding compost or well–rotted manure will improve soil structure and fertility. We provide professional soil preparation services, ensuring your plants have the best possible start.
This period is also great for planting bare-root trees, shrubs, and some perennials. Planning your garden layout and plant choices now can save time in the busy spring months. Our team can provide expert advice on plant selection and garden design tailored to your space and preferences.
Lawns can look a little worse for wear after winter. Lightly rake your lawn to remove thatch and moss and consider aerating it to improve drainage. Our team offers comprehensive lawn care, from aeration to fertilization, to ensure your lawn is lush and green for spring.
Keep an eye on the weather forecasts for late frosts. Protect tender plants with fleece or move them to a sheltered location. Our team can advise on the best ways to protect your plants from the unpredictable UK weather.
Garden maintenance at the end of January and beginning of February sets the foundation when preparing for a stunning spring garden. Acorn Landscape Services in Cheshire is here to help, offering bespoke garden maintenance advice and services. From pruning to lawn care, our team ensures your garden is beautifully prepared for the spring. Contact us today to get your garden spring–ready!
