Do you find when you walk on your lawn it feels spongy?

Do you see a thick layer of brown or lighter coloured material when looking at your lawn?

If you can see these signs then your lawn almost certainly has excessive thatch developing.

Thatch is a layer of dead turf; it builds up naturally over a year. Thatch occurs when the new roots are growing faster than the old ones. The one thing to remember is thatch is a natural part of turf, but can restrict nutrients, water and light from entering the soil, which if left the thatch will continue to build compounding issues within a lawn.

One of the easiest ways to fix this is scarification. 

A way of controlling thatch is to work alongside a specialist lawn treatment company who will follow a bespoke lawn treatment programme to feed your lawn regularly utilising market leading professional products. It is vital to apply treatments at the correct rate and intervals, considering location, soil type and weather conditions.
