How to Get Greener Grass: The Complete UK Lawn Care Guide
Introduction
If you're tired of patchy, dull grass, you're not alone. Thousands of UK homeowners are looking for ways to get greener grass — without expensive landscapers or harmful chemicals. The good news? A vibrant lawn is absolutely possible with the right seasonal lawn care routine. Here’s exactly how to do it.
1. Understand the Seasons
Your lawn has different needs throughout the year. To keep your grass healthy and green:
Spring: Kickstart growth with a nitrogen-rich fertiliser.
Summer: Strengthen roots and retain moisture during dry spells.
Autumn: Repair damage and prep the lawn for winter.
Winter: Avoid unnecessary foot traffic and keep the area tidy.
Using a seasonal lawn care kit ensures you give your grass exactly what it needs at the right time.
2. Water Wisely
One of the biggest mistakes people make is watering too frequently or at the wrong time.
Water deeply, not daily — 2x per week is ideal.
Water in the early morning to reduce evaporation.
Avoid watering at night to prevent disease.
3. Choose Pet-Safe Products
If you have kids or pets, safety is just as important as effectiveness. Choose products that are:
Child- and pet-safe once watered in
Low-phosphorus for eco-friendliness
Free from synthetic dyes or unnecessary chemicals
✅ At The Grass Is Always Greener, all our treatments are pet-safe once dry.
4. Don’t Forget to Feed
Grass needs regular feeding — just like any plant. But using the wrong fertiliser or applying it too late can backfire.
Use a lawn feed that includes:
Nitrogen (N) for lush colour
Phosphate (P) for root health
Potassium (K) for disease resistance
Our Greener Lawn Kit delivers a perfectly balanced feed each season, right to your door.
5. Mow Smart, Not Short
Mowing too short can weaken your lawn and encourage weeds. Follow these mowing rules:
Never cut more than ⅓ of the grass height at once
Sharpen your mower blades every season
Leave clippings during peak growth to add nutrients back into the soil
6. Use a Lawn Booster
Sometimes your grass needs a little extra help — especially after droughts, pets, or heavy use. A lawn booster can:
Fill in bald patches
Encourage thicker growth
Improve colour and texture in just a few weeks
We include this in every seasonal pack.
