About Us
My name is Dan Maxey and I am your local lawn care expert. My background and expertise in farming and growing make me ideally suited for the lawncare business. I have over 20 years of relevant experience through a family owned farm, nursery business and more latterly working in specialist plant growing. The birth of my son and pride in my own lawn prompted me to seize the opportunity to start up the North Cambridgeshire branch of TruGreen, enabling me to continue working outdoors whilst using my knowledge and skills to deliver a high quality service to people locally.

Moss Treatment
We can remove moss using approved treatments. The moss will be treated, it will then turn black as the moss dies and will then be lifted by us from the surface through the process of scarification.
Scarification
Scarification is used for the removal of thatch and shallow root weeds/moss from your lawn. Thatch is an organic layer of material which sits on top of the soil caused by organic matter breaking down over time such as leaves. This is detrimental to your lawn’s health as the thatch suffocates the roots of your lawn of valuable water and air.
Fertiliser Treatment
We can organise a schedule to ensure your lawn receives all the nutrients it needs to thrive; this treatment will be tailored to the needs of your lawn.
Weed Treatments
The blight of a beautiful lawn – we can offer expert advice and tailored treatments to your lawn to control any common and uncommon weeds which may pop up in your lawn, whether that be dandelions, daisies, clover or something more exotic, we can help.
Over seeding
Bare patches on your lawn produce the perfect opportunity for weeds to make a home. Bare patches can be controlled with planting additional seed in your lawn. Over seeding will add a healthy, dense coverage to your lawn, reducing the opportunity for weeds to take hold.
Turf Pest & Disease Treatment
Should a disease or pest manifest in your lawn, our expert services can be used to control it. As soon as you notice something not right about your lawn, give us a call and we will identify the problem and offer you the solution to resolve it.
Lawn Aeration
Like all living things, your lawn needs air and water to survive. If your soil is compacted or you have thatch build up, this can suffocate the roots of the plant and cause damage to the lawn. Aeration relieves the compaction and allows channels for air and water to reach the roots.
Hard Surface Treatment
We can offer treatments to remove moss and algae from hard surfaces such as patios and driveways, which often creates an unsightly, slippery surface which can cause slips and falls. With one treatment we can remove this hazard and leave your garden in a safer condition.
Whether it be a single treatment or an annual subscription to keep your lawn healthy, we will create a custom plan for your lawn, based on your needs and requirements.
Unlike others, we will make sure the right treatment is available for your lawn at the right time.
We are fully accredited to deliver these treatments by the NPTC, a City & Guilds qualification.

Seasonal Advice
You too can have a perfect lawn with these tips from the TruGreen experts. Here’s what you need to do to your lawn and when in each season.
Summer
Don’t allow Red Thread to ruin your lawn
Red Thread is one of the most common turf diseases found in the UK, resulting in irregular red patches on the lawn. It can occur at any time of year, but more commonly during the summer months and will favour damp, shady, poorly aerated and compacted soils that are lacking in nitrogen. Red Thread will not generally kill the grass plant, but does give an unsightly appearance to the leaf, spoiling the appearance of the lawn.
Dependent upon the severity of the red thread the damage can be treated by applying a high nitrogen fertiliser or more commonly by the use of a contact fungicide.
TruGreen tips to achieving a great lawn this summer!
Apply the correct fertiliser in managing warm weather conditions
Maintain the grass height between 25-30mm
Apply a fungicide at the first signs of disease
Apply irrigation when necessary during the cooler part of the day to prevent evaporation.
Autumn
Good lawn care in Autumn will leave your lawn better prepared for the Winter.
When maintaining lawn quality and health, it is crucial to apply the correct autumn fertiliser. Controlling the level of potassium will raise the turf’s tolerance to disease, wear and soft growth as well as helping it to withstand low temperature during the winter months.
Additional benefits of our controlled release autumn fertilisers include the retention of colour and a healthy root structure, important factors if the lawn is to survive possible frost and snow.
Prepare your lawn for winter
All lawns benefit from having any remaining thatch that has accumulated over the summer months removed before the onset of winter, and it is equally important to maintain drainage if moss is to be controlled.
Maximise your lawn’s ability to overcome the winter by speaking with your local TruGreen operator about the level of scarification and aeration that may be required. Combining these mechanical services with an autumn fertiliser will allow for a more healthy lawn come the end of the winter.
Winter
TruGreen’s lawn care expert Steve Welch is advising garden owners to be prepared to protect their lawns this winter against a repeat of last year’s blight of snow mould.
As snow mould occurs under a blanket of snow it is often not until the snow has melted and winter is over that you may know if you have been affected or not. The disease manifests itself as a white or pink patch where the lawn has literally gone mouldy. Prevention is key with this particular lawn disease and there are several factors to take into consideration which may affect its likelihood:
Shade and high moisture, accompanied by cool temperatures.
Inadequate circulation of air above the lawn.
Rapid, forced and weak growth of grass in autumn.
Alkaline soil pH, between 7 and 14.
Weak turf, perhaps due to wear or irregular mowing.
Blunt mower blades causing a poor cut.
Compacted soil and poor drainage.
If you feel your lawn may be susceptible to any of these conditions, then an outbreak can be reduced by a number of means, including the following:
Regular aeration and scarification.
Regular mowing.
Alternating the direction of the cut helps the grass to stand upright and will help air move between the plants.
Lowering nitrogen applications at the end of the summer / early autumn period.
The most enthusiastic gardeners can play a role by removing dew with a rake in the mornings.
Spring
Spring lawn alert
Moss is something that every lawn will have to deal with at some point. Moss will manifest itself and choke out healthy grasses, as well as starving the grass plant of the all-important nutrients applied through fertiliser. There are various reasons for the build-up of moss in a lawn, but very damp and shaded areas are at most risk and combined with limited hours of daylight and increased rainfall during the winter months, the ideal conditions are produced for moss to develop and take over the lawn.
The application of a quality commercial product, based on sulphate of iron, followed by a programme of scarification will keep the moss at bay and allow for the grasses to grow and thicken. Scarification will also reduce the thatch layer which if left to build-up will become an ideal growing medium for mosses, and it is additionally important to introduce aeration in improving drainage, along with the application of a balanced fertiliser in achieving a strong and healthy lawn.

Happy customers
Daniel is very professional, always prompt and gives you plenty of notice when he will be calling. Explains in detail exactly what he thinks is needed and his invoices are clearly itemised.
Extremely efficient , Daniel reminds us with a courteous email when the next treatment is ,providing us with sufficient time to re arrange, also gives us some advice. I come from a family of landscape gardeners so I know my stuff but Daniel just adds that piece of advice that allows you to make a decision. He is very punctual and friendly I would definitely recommend his company.
I changed to TruGreen eight months ago, after meeting Daniel and discussing his recommended treatment plan for my lawns.
Given the long drought and high temperatures that occurred through June to July, my lawns survived amazingly well and recovered very quickly thanks to the timely application of fertiliser.
I am impressed with Daniels knowledge of lawncare and the services provided.
