Spring lawn treatments

March 13, 2012 by nicenstripy

In the past 24hrs seven water companies have announced their intention to impose water restrictions www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-17340844 This is not a big surprise to most of us in the UK as they have been dropping hints since February that they would introduce a hose pipe ban.
But don’t worry at nicenstripy we can prepare your lawn now for what could be a long dry summer with our pre-spring lawn treatment to help keeping your lawn in tip top condition.

nicenstripy lawn care experts are only a phone call away, we can assess your lawn and with our early spring feed, help it recover from the effects of the winter and increase its vigour to prevent weeds and moss from establishing.

At nicenstripy we only use professional targetted lawn feed treatments applied by our in-house turf experts and our prices are often cheaper than you can purchase them yourself.

Call nicenstripy today to discuss your lawn feed requirements from a one off treatment to our regular care program and you can rest assured that your lawn will be in safe hands and the envy of your neighbours.

Grass is Growing

March 13, 2012 by nicenstripy

The lawn is showing signs of growth and with the warmer weather set to continue this week, the regular grass cutting has begun.

If your lawn has suffered from this winters snow, it is nice to know that help is at hand to get your lawn looking lush and healthy.

Contact us now for advice and to arrange a free quotation for all your lawn needs.

Planning to lay a new lawn this year – the early spring is one of the best times to lay turf, with plenty of rain helping it to become established and saving money on your water bill – now, that’s nice.

(Although this year in certain parts of the country, we would strongly recommend you consider waiting until the late Autumn because with the recent news on hose pipe bans, you don’t want to lose a brand new lawn because you can’t water it.)

Don’t forget the lawn for now though – the grass has started growing!

New Year, New Temperatures

January 17, 2012 by nicenstripy

The unseasonably warm weather that we’ ve been having seems like a distant memory now as we are experiencing some cold weather.

The frosty nights and still days have led to some fantastic sunny days and with the help of the woolly hat and winter coat it’s been a pleasure working outside.

Plenty of jobs can be done over the winter, most though are better if frost is not forecast.

Continue to clear the leaves and old debris from last years display.

Give the hedge a trim to tidy it up and it’ ll help the garden look tidy right into the spring.

Don’t give up just yet

November 17, 2011 by nicenstripy

November is a time when you may think about packing up for the winter but with the above average warm weather you may have noticed that the lawn. If the l awn is growing then it needs

a trim. There is still plenty of time to get tidied up before Christmas.

At nicenstripy we are always ready to keep your lawn looking it’s best and the majority of customers use our winter lawn cutting service. We will visit on a regular basis throughout the winter to make sure all is well.

Speak to your local nicenstripy to book inter care.

With the majority of the leaves off the trees now, it’s a must to clear them up and put them on the compost heap (or we’ll take them away). Leaves on lawns can cause the grass to die over the winter and if they are left on your paths and driveways they get wet, which could cause a slip.

Don’t forget about your lawns and gardens at this time of the year, do the work now and you’ll have a lovely garden for those sunny months that will be back soon.

July July July

July 7, 2011 by nicenstripy

July brings lots of things, the summer, the school holidays, bbq’s and parties and this year for a change it has brought some rain.

Over the last few years July and August (believe it or not) have been relatively dry months but this year, following the driest spring on record, the rain is back and it is more than welcome.

With farmers crops and nicenstripy customers lawns looking very dry towards the end of May and into June with a few spells of rain

they are looking lush once again.  Now is the perfect time to treat you lawn to a summer feed.

 After all the stress of the drought period a feed now will be welcomed.  You will be rewarded by a lawn that thickens and greens up and looks great for the bbq’s planned during the rest of

the summer. Try to apply it before rain is due, that way you won’t have to use the sprinkler to water it in.

busy busy busy

April 11, 2011 by nicenstripy

we are now almost half way through April and the long Easter weekend is nearly here, it’s definitely time to get out in to the garden.

With the record breaking temperatures that we have had over the last few weeks, it’s thrown us all!!

The lawns have definitely started to grow and I’m sure it is the case all over the country.

Regular grass cutting is a must now to create the perfect lawn for those lazy summer days. Don’t forget the feeds though, a regular lawn care plan which will include weed control and moss treatments

will give you a lawn to be proud of.

For free advice on either lawn cutting or lawn care don’t hesitate to contact you local branch, have you tried using the branch locater on the homepage

With cooler temperatures due for the rest of the week, I think I’ ll leave the shorts for another day!

Early colour in the garden

February 28, 2011 by nicenstripy

just as we get close to thinking that the warmer weather is here it turns cold again – but then it is only the last day of February.

Saying that though the crocus are all in full bloom and looked lovely over

the weekend when the sun was out. The daffodils are teasing us with little glimpses on yellow and it won’t be long until they are fully out. We’ve also noticed that the grass has been growing well and are starting our regular lawn cutting visits once again.

For those lawn lovers that like to give the lawn a little more, remember to plan your lawn care for the year, we’ll soon be applying treatments to help control moss and then an early spring feed.

These of course are only part of the full lawn care program, for further information, give your local branch a call, check the branch finder for details.
