- Nutrient deficiency
- Heavy infestation by weeds or moss
These influences can lead to a poor overall appearance or even to bare patches that require reseeding or reseeding. The advantage is that you can take care of the health of the soil and lawn from the moment you sow.
When reseeding, the correct planting sequence and continuous watering are essential, especially during the germination phase. The soil must not be deprived of water during this time, otherwise the seedlings will die and patches or gaps will appear in the lawn.

Our tips on how to maintain a healthy lawn
With our tips for a beautiful and even lawn, you will soon notice the difference in your garden and create an oasis of well-being.
Correct mowing is the basis for a well-kept lawn
Everyone knows that mowing the lawn is the be-all and end-all of garden maintenance, but mistakes can also be made. Lawn care must be carried out frequently and correctly by mowing in order to maintain dense sward which effectively suppresses weeds. Depending on the type of lawn, the grass must be cut up to 30 times (!) per year. Only a third of the grass height should be removed at any one time so as not to stress the lawn unnecessarily. This is exactly where many garden owners fail, because they first let it grow and then cut it as short as possible.
A robot mower can be a great help here, as it regularly mows the lawn and at the same time ensures that no unsightly plant parts are left lying around.
Organic lawn fertiliser for a lush surface with an ideal pH value
A thin and dull lawn can also suffer from a mineral deficiency. A balanced fertiliser and soil activator ensures that the soil is supplied with the nutrients it needs to grow healthily. Targeted fertilisation primarily promotes growth and also strengthens the grass so that it is more resistant to diseases and pests and can go into the winter stronger.
There are different types of fertiliser that are tailored to the needs of your lawn. The nutrients nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium play a particularly important role here. We will take a look at the situation on site and, if you wish, we can also take care of the fertilisation for you.
Aerating is the key to healthy roots
In addition to moss, heavy and compacted soils also prevent water, air and nutrients from penetrating, which is why they need to be loosened. The next step after scarifying is aerification. This is preferably done with a special aerator.
Aerating involves removing soil cones from the turf and filling them with sand or turf substrate. This results in better aeration of the root area and compacted soil becomes more permeable. The roots benefit from this in every season and can grow much deeper again.
Effective control of weeds and weeds in the lawn
Proper weed control is another essential activity in the garden, both in autumn and spring. Weeds such as dandelions, clover and yarrow spread particularly quickly and overgrow the lawn. These are more resistant than the lawn, which can suffer greatly from weed infestation. The best way to keep weeds at bay is regular cutting and nitrogen-rich fertilisation.
