Expert Lawn Care Tips for a Greener Lawn | Newmarket, Bury St Edmunds

From Harewood Lawn Care – Serving Newmarket, Bury St Edmunds & Surrounding Suffolk Villages

Everyone loves the look of a lush, green lawn – but achieving that perfect patch of grass takes more than just occasional mowing. At Harewood Lawn Care, we help homeowners across Newmarket and Bury St Edmunds keep their lawns healthy all year round. Here are some of our top expert tips for a greener, thicker lawn:

1. Mow Your Lawn Little and Often | Newmarket, Bury St Edmunds

Regular mowing is one of the simplest ways to improve your lawn. Cutting the grass once a week during the growing season (spring through autumn) encourages healthy growth and helps prevent weeds from taking hold. Tip: Don’t cut too short – aim to remove no more than one-third of the grass blade at a time.

2. Feed Your Lawn the Right Way | Newmarket, Bury St Edmunds

Just like any plant, your lawn needs the right nutrients to thrive. Use a quality lawn fertiliser in spring and autumn to strengthen the roots and boost colour. A well-fed lawn is more resistant to drought, disease, and pests.

3. Water Smart – Not Too Much, Not Too Little | Newmarket, Bury St Edmunds

In dry spells, your lawn may need watering – but be careful not to overdo it. Deep, infrequent watering is better than little and often. Early morning or evening is best to avoid evaporation.

4. Deal with Weeds Early | Newmarket, Bury St Edmunds

Weeds compete with grass for space, light, and nutrients. Spot-treat weeds when they appear, or let us handle them as part of your regular lawn care routine. Keeping on top of them stops them from spreading.

5. Scarify When Needed | Newmarket, Bury St Edmunds

Compacted soil and layers of thatch can stop water and air reaching the roots. Aerating (putting small holes in the soil) helps with drainage and encourages strong root growth. Raking or scarifying in autumn can also remove dead grass and moss.

6. Choose the Right Lawn Care Partner | Newmarket, Bury St Edmunds

Sometimes, the best results come from having a local expert look after things for you. At Harewood Lawn Care, we offer tailored services to help your lawn reach its full potential – whether that’s regular mowing, feeding, weed control, or seasonal treatments.
