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.

Landscape Design Altrincham – York Stone Retaining Wall in Progress
We’re currently working on the early stages of a beautiful York stone-faced retaining wall for a client in Altrincham. This is part of a larger landscape design and transformation project tailored to both enhance the garden’s structure and complement the property’s surroundings.
Our team has completed the initial groundworks, laying solid foundations to support the weight and scale of the wall. Precision and preparation are vital at this stage. With any retaining wall, especially one built with natural stone, we make sure that the base is perfectly level and structurally sound.
To ensure consistent progress, we’ve erected a large marquee over the construction area. This allows us to continue laying and building despite the unpredictable weather conditions typical of the North West. By working under cover, we protect materials from damage and maintain a high standard of craftsmanship throughout the project.
We have recently completed the concrete pour for the foundation footings. This stage provides the essential support required for the York stone face and backfill material. Reinforcements have also been added where needed, ensuring the wall is both strong and long-lasting. These foundations form the backbone of the entire structure and must be completed with absolute care.
Once the foundation has fully set, the team will continue building the wall using traditional York stone, hand-selected for quality and finish. Each piece is laid with an eye for detail, giving the wall a timeless appearance while fulfilling a key structural role.
This project is a great example of our practical approach to landscape design in Altrincham—where appearance, durability, and expert construction all come together.
