Choosing the Right Lawn Care Programme for Year-Round Lawn Health
At GreenThumb, we know that every lawn is unique, and every homeowner has different goals. Some enjoy hands-on gardening, while others prefer to rely on professional lawn care services to maintain a lush, healthy lawn. That’s why we offer three tailored lawn care programmes - Basic, Standard, and Ultimate - each designed to deliver the right level of lawn treatment and attention throughout the year, no matter your lawn’s condition.
In this blog, we’ll explore how to choose the GreenThumb lawn care programme that’s right for your lawn, lifestyle, and expectations.
How to Choose the Best Lawn Treatment Programme
Selecting the right lawn care programme starts with understanding your lawn’s current health and what you hope to achieve. Whether you’re looking for light seasonal support, targeted problem-solving treatments, or a complete year-round transformation, GreenThumb has a solution to keep your lawn thriving in every season.
Basic Lawn Care Programme
If your lawn is generally healthy but could benefit from some expert guidance, the Basic Lawn Care Programme is an excellent starting point. Perfect for homeowners who enjoy gardening themselves but want the reassurance of professional lawn treatment, it provides essential seasonal care to keep your grass vibrant and strong.
Key features of the Basic programme include:
- Four seasonal fertiliser treatments using NutraGreen fertilisers (Spring Ready, Summer Ready, Summer Long, Autumn/Winter Long) for strong roots and rich colour.
- Targeted weed control to prevent weeds from competing with your grass.
- Oasis bio-stimulant treatment enriched with seaweed extract, helping your lawn retain moisture and grow healthier during dry periods.
The Basic programme allows homeowners to stay involved in lawn care while benefiting from professional care at key times throughout the year.
Standard Lawn Care Programme
For lawns showing signs of stress such as patchy grass, compacted soil, or moss, the Standard Lawn Care Programme provides additional professional treatments to restore vitality. It includes everything in the Basic programme and adds Aeration and Scarification, which are essential for long-term lawn health.
- Lawn Aeration is the process of creating small holes in the soil to allow water, air, and nutrients to reach the grass roots more easily. It helps reduce soil compaction and thatch, promoting stronger root growth and a healthier, better-looking lawn.
- Lawn Scarification is the process of mechanically removing excess surface thatch from a lawn. By clearing away built-up organic matter, it allows the grass to breathe, improves healthy growth, and helps prevent weeds, moss, and lawn diseases.
The Standard programme is ideal for homeowners seeking year-round lawn treatment to resolve underlying issues while maintaining a vibrant, dense lawn.
Ultimate Lawn Care Programme
For homeowners aiming for the best possible lawn, the Ultimate Lawn Care Programme offers the most comprehensive year-round care. It includes all Standard programme treatments plus:
- NutraBooster for stronger roots and improved resilience.
- Overseeding with Diamond Green seed and top dressing to thicken grass, fill bare patches, and enhance soil quality.
- Advanced pest monitoring and control to protect against diseases and pests like leatherjackets and chafer grubs.
- Additional seasonal visits to address issues proactively before they affect your lawn’s health.
This programme is perfect for those seeking a complete lawn care package, ensuring a lush, dense, and resilient lawn throughout the year.
Choosing the Right GreenThumb Programme for Your Lawn
Deciding which programme is best depends on your lawn’s condition and your personal goals:
- The Basic programme is ideal for healthy lawns needing light professional support.
- The Standard programme is best for lawns affected by moss, soil compaction, or patchy areas.
- The Ultimate programme is perfect for complete transformation or maximum year-round care.
If you’re unsure which programme suits your lawn, our experts perform a full lawn analysis, evaluating soil health, grass density, weed presence, and moss levels. From this assessment, we recommend the programme that will deliver the best results, adjusting as needed to ensure long-term health and vibrancy.
