Lawn Care Products

A great-looking lawn will be the envy of your neighbours and you can find everything you need to take care of your lawn at Cal Flavins. We have a great range of products to keep your grass lush and green, and mowers to ensure it looks neat and tidy at all times. From the fantastic robotic mower that makes light work of lawn maintenance to the battery-powered mower that is ideal for cutting the lawn right to the edges, you’ll find the best options for your lawn and your lifestyle in our selection.

Maintaining your lawn involves mowing, fertilising and watering at the correct intervals, and you should aim to keep your lawn at the optimal height for the type of grass you have. It is ideal to water deeply but infrequently, to encourage deep root growth, and to water early in the morning to minimise water evaporation, especially in periods of hot weather. Fertilising should be applied in the spring and the autumn, and you should use a well-balanced fertiliser that is ideal for your grass type and soil conditions.

Mowing your lawn should be left until it needs it, since the first growth often helps to support local insect populations, and you should keep mower blades sharp to ensure a clean cut and reduce the risk of diseases. It is beneficial to leave grass clippings on the lawn after mowing as these will decompose and return nutrients to the soil to promote a healthier lawn. Checking your lawn for weeds regularly will allow you to deal with these effectively and you may want to use natural products to control weeds and care for the environment at the same time.

If you need to re-seed areas of your lawn to fill in bare patches and improve the density of the grass, you should do this in the spring and avoid walking on the re-seeded areas until new grass is established. Aerating the lawn in the autumn or spring will help to improve soil compaction and create better conditions for water and nutrient absorption. You will find that regular lawn maintenance will help keep your lawn looking great all year round, considering the type of grass you have, your soil conditions and the local climate.
