As often as it needs. Environmental factors (rainfall, temperature) have a big effect on lawn growth, and it could require cutting twice a week when growing. A typical lawn will be somewhere between 25-50mm in length. In winter or drought keep the length a bit longer than normal to maximise UV light intake and shade soils from drying out respectively.
As with all plants, grass needs water, most of which we expect to come from rain. If you do need to water when it is hot, do this after 5pm so it has enough time to soak in and avoid evaporation.
Yes, we use semi-organic fertilisers that break down without aid. Any pesticides (including herbicides or fungicides) are diluted to an unharmful level before application. If you have pets, or children!) that eat grass, then please mention this to the technician.
We recommend allowing 2hrs of dry weather after the visit has been completed to make sure liquid products have had time to dry out.
Today. Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter, it really doesn’t matter. From your first visit you will start noticing the difference. Deeper green; healthy growth; less weeds or moss; these will just be the start of the journey to the green space you want.
You will start seeing the affect between 7-14 days after the first visit. This may depend on your soil type, weather conditions and the amount of water the lawn receives.
We buy commercial grade products from internationally renowned producers that are of a much more effective quality than domestically available products. Anyone using pesticides MUST have a qualification to spray plant protection products (PPP) and keep spray records which are made available to DEFRA when requested.
No not if you don’t want to be. You will receive email and SMS notifications in advance of our arrival. If you are not going to be home, then as long as we have access to the treatable areas we can continue in your absence. We always leave your property as we find it; shutting gates and locking them if possible. Like many customers do, we can record any gate codes securely in our system and make them available to the only technician that requires it.
We send out Upcoming Visit Notifications 14 days prior to the visit stating what we plan to carry out on arrival. An SMS reminder will also be sent 7 days prior to the visit. Following the visit an After Service Report is issued within 48hrs stating what we have done and any recommendations. Technicians are also required to take pictures at every visit.
A monthly payment plan is set up from the month you start until December of the same year. You can choose to cancel your services at any point within a year and you’ll only have to pay the remaining balance for any services already carried out. There is no cancellation charge.
Nope. You are not tied into any contract and can leave if the situation arises. If you have a problem please contact the office at lawn@greenstandardservices.co.uk.
