From moss control and scarification to aeration, feeding, and lawn renovation, our approach is always tailored to Hertfordshire’s soil types and seasonal conditions.
Many lawns in Hertfordshire sit on heavy clay soil, which can lead to compaction, poor drainage, moss growth, and weak grass during wetter months. We focus on improving soil structure and grass strength so your lawn performs better long-term — not just temporarily.
Whether your lawn is thin, patchy, moss-covered or simply tired after winter, we offer honest advice and practical solutions designed for Hertfordshire gardens.
Clay soil is the biggest challenge.
Lawns here benefit hugely from regular aeration, especially after winter, to relieve compaction and improve drainage. Treating moss without addressing compaction usually leads to it returning.

FAQs - Lawn Care in Hertfordshire
Why Does my Lawn get so Mossy in Hertfordshire?
Many Hertfordshire lawns sit on heavy clay soil, which holds water and compacts easily. This creates poor drainage and weak grass growth, especially after winter. Moss thrives in these conditions when grass struggles to compete.
When is the best time to scarify a Lawn in Hertfordshire?
For most Hertfordshire lawns, late March to April is the best time, once soil temperatures rise and grass is actively growing. Scarifying too early often leads to slow recovery and moss returning.
Do I need to Aerate my Lawn every year?
Most lawns in Hertfordshire benefit from regular aeration, particularly if they feel firm underfoot or stay wet after rain. Aeration helps relieve compaction and improves drainage, which is essential for long-term lawn health.
Should I treat Moss in Winter?
Winter moss treatments are mostly cosmetic. While moss can be darkened or killed, grass won’t recover properly until spring. For lasting results, moss control works best when combined with aeration, scarification, and feeding during the growing season.
Why does my Lawn stay muddy after rain?
This is usually due to compacted clay soil. Water can’t drain away efficiently, so it sits on the surface. Improving soil structure through aeration is the most effective solution.
