Why you need a Lawn Care company

Lawn Care Unveiled: Why Partnering with a Professional Company Is Essential

Gardens can be a brilliant place to escape to, especially when accompanied by a lush lawn. However, a lawn is much more than aesthetically pleasing, it has been proven to both improve your physical and mental wellbeing.

It takes time and skill to achieve a lush lawn which can be demanding for busy homeowners. Correct mowing and watering are not enough if you want a beautiful centrepiece. Feeding, aeration, and scarification are essential to keeping your lawn at its best, and that’s where the best lawn care service can help – GreenThumb.

GreenThumb Lawn Treatments

Over the years, we have been developing our range of ‘NutraGreen’ fertilisers and treatment programmes to provide lawns with balanced nutritional feeding that lasts over the course of the year. Treatments are designed for controlled release to minimise environmental impact. We also have our Oasis Water Conserver treatment, which requires up to 80% less watering. It’s an essential innovative treatment as droughts and hosepipe bans become increasingly common.

We’ve got the correct machinery, feeding tools and products to ensure your lawn reaches its full potential.

What’s the Difference Between DIY and Professional Lawn Treatment?

Many homeowners wonder is professional lawn care worth it and whether to tackle lawn care themselves. The difference comes down to expertise, equipment, consistency and long‑term value.

DIY lawn treatment:

• You supply the products, follow general guides and apply treatments yourself.
• It can be cheaper initially, but it’s easy to mis‑diagnose issues like soil compaction, nutrient deficiency or pest infestations, which leads to wasted time and money.
• Home equipment and retail products often lack the precision and power of professional solutions.
• Scheduling can slip, which means feeding or aeration may not happen at the optimal time.

Professional lawn treatment (like GreenThumb):

• Technicians begin with a detailed lawn assessment (soil, grass species, drainage, shade, usage).
• We use commercial equipment for scarification, aeration, overseeding and fertilising.
• Programmes are scheduled and delivered through the year, ensuring treatments happen at the right moment.
• You gain access to specialist products, targeted applications and guaranteed workmanship — fewer mistakes, better results, less hassle.

In short: DIY may save money short‑term, but professional lawn treatment delivers better outcomes, less risk and more consistent lawn health.

GreenThumb Sustainable Approach

While some might think lawn treatments require excessive chemicals and pesticides, it doesn’t.

At GreenThumb we are not only keenly aware of our obligations to customers but also our environmental responsibilities. Our fertilisers come out as a drip feed, so it does not impact the environment or insects. Pests are managed by using biostimulants that deter pests and support plants. We will only spot spray active weeds, if we were to spray the whole lawn where weeds are not active, the herbicide is simply going into the ground and is not appropriate environmentally.

People see right away they’ll have the comfort of knowing they have access to a beautiful outdoor place.
