Do i need to do anything before you visit?

All that we ask is that any animal waste and toys, trampolines etc are removed from your lawn. Our staff cannot carry out the work required if this is not adhered to as it's a health and safety issue for them.

Yes, we do recommend however that pets and children are kept off the lawn for 2-3 hours after the treatment has been applied.

What happens to my garden waste?

Our standard lawn treatments don't produce any waste however if your booked in for a scarification then all the waste is disposed of on-site in your council garden bin, if your bin is full we will bag up the waste for you for your disposal. If your booked in for an Aeration the cores will be left on your lawn to brake down naturally - this is good for the grass.
