About Us

TruGreen Teesside is run by Martin Rogers and his wife, Kay.

Martin decided to set up a TruGreen Lawn Care Business based on his desire to see gorgeous green lawns in his locality. Martin was always passionate growing up about greenery, lawns and foliage – and when he struggled to find anyone to look after his own lawn when he bought his first home, he began looking in to the idea of learning the profession and offering it to others in the area who also wanted a green, luscious lawn.

Several years down the line Martin has taken the plunge and is already enjoying servicing customers in his local area in Teesside. Locally born and bred, Martin knows the area well – and coupled with his expertise in lawn care and exceptional customer service skills, TruGreen Teesside the family operated lawn care business in Teesside will ensure that customers are in good hands.

Give us a call on 01642 80 20 80 and Martin will be happy to arrange a friendly visit to discuss your lawn care in Teesside options.

Lawn Scarification in Teesside 

Why does my lawn need it?

Your lawn needs to be scarified to prevent the build up of thatch and other debris that will hinder the growth of a healthy lawn.

What is Lawn Scarification?

Lawn Scarification is a mechanical operation which will remove all unwanted organic matter from around the base of the grass plant (thatch) and neaten up any loose growth from your lawn. The process will also remove moss that will otherwise choke out the grass plant and restrict the growth of your lawn.

We carry out lawn scarification in Teesside at the beginning of the growing season (Spring or early Autumn) to allow the grass to recover from this rigorous process as fast as possible. Because of the stress that scarification places on the healthy grass plants it is not done routinely, but only when it is apparent that it will specifically resolve some difficulty or problem.

If you would like to know more about lawn scarification, or perhaps you would like to book a free 14 point lawn analysis, give us a call on 01642 80 20 80 or complete the contact form on the left hand side.

Lawn Aeration in Teesside 

Why does my lawn need it?

If you lawn doesn’t look healthy because it’s not getting the nutrients it needs at the root and struggles with drainage problems then Lawn Aeration can help!

What is Lawn Aeration?

There are two types of Lawn Aeration in Teesside that we can carry out: Solid tine aeration which aids the development of the grass plant, and hollow core aeration which can be used in allowing for the incorporation of a top dressing and improved drainage for your lawn. Both are used for different reasons, which we will establish at your FREE, 14 point lawn analysis.

Although Aeration can be carried out at any time of the year, it is ideal to aerate during the late spring which helps to increase the grass health and nutrient uptake leading up to the main growing season as well as in Autumn to help aid in drainage during the wetter season.

Lawn Fertilisation in Teesside 

Why does my lawn need it?

Is your lawn looking unhealthy in texture and colour? It could possibly because it is lacking fertlisation to feed it and help it grow healthily.

What is Lawn Fertilisation?

Lawn Fertlisation provides or supplements the natural nutrients the grass plant needs to grow healthily as these nutrients aren’t always available within the soil for the grass to feed off naturally. Through fertilsation we add these nutrients to your lawn for a healthy, happy, green lawn!

We can tell you exactly what treatments are suited for your lawn through our FREE, without obligation 14 Point Lawn Care Analyis. Book now on 01642 80 20 80.

Weed Control in Teesside

Why does my lawn need it?

Weeds come in many shapes and sizes, but all do ruin the appearance of your lawn! Do you have weeds growing through your lawn, perhaps you have more weeds than lawn or just a few that seem to spoil the overall appearance of your lawn?

What is Weed Control?

Weed Control is an ongoing process to help eradicate weeds. It can often take more than one treatment to keep certain weeds at bay, to give your lawn the chance to grow back healthily.

The treatments that we offer do not affect grass plants. However, weed control products should not be applied to newly seeded grass for approximately 6 months.

Let TruGreen Teesside take care you of the weeds in your lawn – book today on 01642 80 20 80.

Moss Control in Teesside 

Why does my lawn need it?

If you lawn is covered in moss or perhaps a few ‘mossy’ patches then it sounds like you need our help as Moss starves the grass plant of all the nutrients that it needs to grow, as well as making your lawn look dead, dry and unhealthy.

What is Moss Control?

The only way to really eliminate moss from your lawn is to eliminate the conditions for moss growth. Lawn Aeration can be the key to effective moss control as it will improve drainage and alter the conditions that moss needs to develop.

The moss control products that we use are specifically designed to help control moss. They may be granular or liquid and may or may not be combined with fertiliser, depending on the time of year and the specific requirements of your lawn. These products are only available to lawn care professionals.

Let the professionals take care of removing moss from your lawn – give us a call on 01642 80 20 80 or send us a contact form on the left hand side.

Lawn Pest Control in Teesside

Why does my lawn need it?

If your lawn is being affected by common lawn pests then you will need to get rid of them to get a healthy lawn! Lawn pests come in many different shapes and sizes, the most common are:

• Leatherjackets – Eat grass roots/lay eggs which damage the lawn
• Chafer Grubs – Eat grass roots/lay eggs which damage the lawn
• Casting Worms – Produce casts on the lawn which affect its appearance
• Frit Fly – Destroy grass roots which damage the lawn
• Ants – Build ‘ant hills’ exposing the grass root

What is Lawn Pest Control?

Lawn Pest Control can be carried out 12 months of the year and most cases of turf pests will require the lawn spraying with an insecticide and you are recommended to have a number of applications to resolve the problem. We use the Summer and Autumn months for preventative measures to prevent them returning for the next season.

Lawn Disease Treatment in Teesside 

Why does my lawn need it?

It is vital that all turf related diseases are treated as soon as possible! The development of most diseases is usually dependent upon weather conditions, so recent weather conditions are 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).

Common Lawn Diseases include:

• Red Thread – Red patches of dying grass
• Rust – Rust coloured patches of grass
• Fusarium, Microdochium Patch, Pink Snow Mould – Small circular patches of discolouration
• Leaf Spot – Dark patches on the leaves of the grass plant
• Dollar Spot – Middle of grass leaf damage
• Fairy Rings – Circles of damage to the lawn

What is Lawn Disease Treatment?

We can apply pesticides throughout the year, the more regular the treatments, the better the control over the lawn diseases in question. We also recommend regular scarification to minimise any thatch layer, and aeration to allow for a good air flow to be maintained to the root of the plant.

Let TruGreen Teesside rid your lawn of it’s diseases. Arrange your FREE 14 Point Lawn Analysis today on 01642 80 20 80.

Hard Surface Treatment in Teesside 

Why does my patio or driveway need it?

Is your patio greener than the lawn? Perhaps the decorative paving slabs on your driveway can no longer be seen due to the mosses and algae that have taken over it. Moss and Algae can attack patios, driveways, decking, and other hard surfaces.

What is Hard Surface Treatment?

We apply a treatment to the affected hard surfaces to remove and to repel mosses and algae in the future. Generally, this treatment only needs to be carried out between once and twice per year dependent on weather conditions. Once we have been you only need to keep off the surface until the treatment has dried, and there is no aftercare whatsoever!

We’d love to make your hard surfaces a much safer environment as our hard floor surface treatments prevent slippages as the moss and algae has been removed in full!

Don’t neglect your hard surfaces, let us treat those as well as your lawn – 01642 80 20 80.

Take a look at some of our beautiful lawn transformations in Teesside.

“Martin takes great care of my lawn. In the past I treat it myself and burnt the grass when I overdosed it with weed and feed. Scarification, never. I was surprised how much dead material was in the lawn when TruGreen Teesside did mine. I find it cost effective spending about the same amount as I did when maintaining the lawns myself but having the advantage of professional care (and one less job for me).”

“I have nothing but praise for Martin at TruGreen. From the flyer I received and his initial assessment of what needed to be done to bring my lawns back to their previous best, he has been thoroughly professional in all he has done. My lawns now look better than ever.”

Thanks for sorting out the lawn. Grass is looking really good and weed free. It must have been 50% moss and weed 6 months ago.

“Top quality lawn service from a top bloke. Good prices and nothing too much bother. Results so far have been incredible as before and after photos show! This was after only 7 weeks! We would highly recommend Martin at TruGreen for all your lawn requirements.” – Pop Larkin

“Since using the services of TruGreen our lawn has greatly improved. We have lots of people ask how we do it! Can’t recommend TruGreen highly enough, Martin offers great advice and even provided us with grass seed to repair the poor areas which are now coming on a treat. Thank you, we wish you continued success.” – Mrs Hodgson
