And a challenge it can be, especially when there are so many ways to make a difference to your lawn, and so little time.

It’s at this stage that you might think that starting below the surface, with grass roots lawn care, is going a bit far. After all, what with weeding and feeding; manually tugging those obstinate weeds up by hand; not to mention the week in, week out need to mow, why would you want to work on the part that no-one sees?

Well then, there’s good news and bad news. The bad news is that whatever you do above the surface will be offset by the poor infrastructure that you can’t see.

And by taking your grass roots lawn care seriously, the good news is that your work above will not only be easier, but it will be more effective and better sustained too!

The healthiest lawns are those that get a broad range of maintenance and this will be a beneficial effect that will improve year on year. So, it’s really two good bits of news!
