Overseeding fills in bare spots, boosts grass density, and enhances your lawn's appearance. It introduces new grass varieties that resist diseases, pests, and environmental stresses. The best time to overseed is in spring or autumn when the soil is warm and moist.

Aeration helps to alleviate soil compaction, allowing air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the grass roots more effectively. This promotes healthier and stronger root growth, leading to a more resilient and lush lawn. It's typically done once a year, either in the spring or fall, depending on your grass type.
Aerate your lawn once a year, in spring or autumn, depending on your grass type. Aeration alleviates soil compaction, improves water and nutrient absorption, and promotes healthy root growth. For heavily used lawns or clay soil, consider aerating twice a year. For professional aeration services, contact Lawn Force at Lawns@lawnforce.com or call Ilkley: 01943 461694, Ripon: 01765 699753.
Scarify your lawn during the growing season, either in spring or autumn, to allow quick recovery and fill in bare patches. Avoid scarifying during drought or extreme heat to prevent stress.
