Remove leaves from your lawn
Now that we are in leaf falling season, make the most of any dry days and rake all leaves from the lawn surface. A thick layer of leaves will smother a lawn and will not only weaken the grass by starving it of light and air, it also provides the perfect conditions for the development of winter lawn diseases such as fusarium and snow mould, as the leaves form the perfect incubation layer for such damp related diseases to thrive. Leaves covered lawns also give the perfect conditions for moss to form, so if you want your grass to survive the winter, keep your lawn leaves free.
Importance of lawn aeration throughout the year
Aerating the lawn before the application of fertiliser will allow the nutrients to enter the soil profile more readily, reaching the grass roots which will give you the healthiest of lawns while reducing the chances of disease. If your lawn has not yet had any form of aeration this year, then I would strongly recommend that you do consider having it completed, as this most under rated of treatments is vitally important to the quality of your lawn.

About Us
Karen Burdett
Having been born and bred in Milton Keynes, I have seen the town and surrounding villages grow into one of the UK’s most vibrant “City’s”. The famous concrete cows were a gift to the City of Milton Keynes by Canadian Artist Liz Leyh and the above sums up what the planners were trying to achieve and also my view on what life in Milton Keynes is all about… “a city in the forest”, with substantially more open green space than found in traditional cities.
While I am always making use of all the fab facilities MK has to offer, it’s the great outdoors, green spaces and gardening which really are my passion. Having worked for years in a commercial environment, frustratingly looking out of the window, I decided it was time to combine my passion with my drive and build a lawncare business.
With my roots in MK, I believe everybody should be able to enjoy the great outdoors and a lush, green lawn.
Give me a call, or send me an email, and arrange for me to come out and give you a FREE 14 point Lawn Analysis where I will work with you to put together a bespoke programme to transform your lawn.

Services We Offer
We understand that every lawn is different and that is why we provide a free 14 point lawn analysis to ensure that your lawn gets the best possible, bespoke lawn care in Buckingham package.
Our package includes:
Fertilisation
Grass plants need on-going nutrition, and absorb their nutrients through their root system therefore a good soil rich in nutrients is essential for a healthy lawn. Fertilisation is a lawn treatment that provides, or supplements, the natural nutrients needed to become a healthy lawn. The fertilisers used are changed depending on the time of year to ensure the correct level of Nitrogen (N), Phosphate (P) and Pottasium (K) are maintained.
Weed Control and Moss control
Moss is something that every lawn will have to deal with at one time or another. Unless treated and removed, moss will continue to choke out the grass plants. There are various reasons for the build up of moss in a lawn, but very damp and shaded areas are at most risk. The recent wet winters have been perfect conditions for moss which should be treated in early Spring.
There are hundreds of different weeds which will need to be kept in check with a professional strength weed killer. Different weeds will require a different weed killer for the treatment to be effective.
Pest control
There are a number of grass pests that are common in the UK. A grass pest is a creature that lives within the soil and feeds on the grass plant. Many grass pests feed on the root of the plant which causes a rapid deterioration in the condition of your lawn, causing large areas of discoloured grass and potentially a dead lawn. The most common/destructive ones are Leatherjackets and Chafer Grubs. Watch out for Crane Flies (Daddy Long Legs) landing on your lawns at the end of Summer/Autumn as this is when they lay their eggs. An insecticide should be applied as soon as possible to avoid damage to the lawn.
Fungus & disease control
The development of most diseases are usually dependent upon weather conditions, so recent weather conditions are to be considered during any diagnosis. Most diseases will have certain characteristics such as discolouration of the grasses, brown, dry patches or signs of fungi (mushroom type growth).
Aeration
Modern living means that lawns become compacted very easily and benefit from aerating twice a year. Aeration involves piercing the lawn to allow water, oxygen, fertilisers and other nutrients to penetrate the soil more effectively and reach the grass roots. There are two main types of aeration that are a benefit to the lawn. Solid tine aeration, which aids the development of the grass plant, and hollow core aeration which facilitates the application of a top dressing and improves drainage.
Scarification
Scarification is a mechanical operation which helps to remove all unwanted organic matter from around the base of the grass plant (thatch) and tidy up any straggly lateral growth from your lawn. The process will also remove moss that will otherwise choke the grass plant and restrict growth.
Re-seeding
We have specialised equipment which plants the seed at the correct depth, enabling the seed to germinate quicker and more successfully. The correct seed will be chosen for your lawn to ensure good establishment of a robust lawn.
We also offer specialist growth regulator treatments so that you can mow your lawn less often!

Happy customers
We are very pleased with the results that have been achieved in such a short space of time. Karen gave us great advice in a friendly and understandable way. The lawn now has stripes, no large areas of weeds or clover…. Great results and cost less than a good night out!!!!
Since commencing the TruGreen lawncare treatment in April of this year, our lawn is now weed and clover free. It has been scarified, aerated and fertilised and as a result is now thick, green and very healthy. The Autumn treatment will guarantee we start again from a good position for 2014. We have been very pleased with the professional and friendly service we have received from Karen and are pleased to recommend the TruGreen Company.
I have been very impressed with the personal and professional service Karen has provided- delivering a moss and weed free lawn to compliment are lovely garden.
The advice given by Karen during the extreme hot weather conditions ensured we maintained a lovely, lush green lawn.
Karen, I thought I really ought to drop you a short note of congratulation and thanks for the effort you have put into our lawns. They really have never looked better.
TruGreen (Karen) has completely transformed our garden. We now have a lush, green, weed-less lawn. It looks amazing and we get lots of compliments about it – thanks.
I love my garden and love gardening, but sometimes you have tried every technique and potion and nothing seems to work! This is the time you need a helping hand. For me it was in the form of Karen from Trugreen. My “grass” was saturated with weeds. I am on my second treatment now and my lawn looks like a green, lush, deep pile carpet!!!
Karen first came to look at our lawn in the Spring of 2014. I say lawn, it was more of a mud bath, with the wet winter and a large German Shepherd dog running around on it, it wasn’t fairing too well. The ground was water logged, the soil was black, smelly and mossy and it was looking very sorry for its self. We were getting to the point where we were considering replacing it with gravel or artificial turf.
Karen started with improving the drainage and feeding the existing lawn, she then followed up with seeding and more feeding. Further drainage and feeding through the spring and summer of 2014 has transformed our garden into a lush green lawn we are very proud of. The grass looks thick and healthy and despite the dog running around it has remained a great looking lawn.
I can’t thank Karen enough for the miracle turn around.
