Professional Lawn Care Ideas
Most of us love the idea of a perfect lawn – somewhere you can throw down a blanket, kick a ball about with the kids, or just have a sit and enjoy a quiet brew. But keeping grass looking lush and healthy can sometimes feel like a full-time job, especially with everything else life throws at you.
If you want your lawn to look its best without the guesswork, professional advice and one-off services can make a big difference. Here’s why understanding lawn care (and knowing when to bring in the pros) can save you time, money, and a fair few headaches.
Expert Knowledge Saves You Guesswork
Looking after a lawn isn’t just mowing once a fortnight and chucking down a bit of feed when you remember. Different lawns need different things, depending on the soil, sunlight, drainage and even what you use the garden for.
Getting expert advice means your lawn gets exactly what it needs – whether that’s a good feed, better drainage, aeration, or starting again with new turf.
Take a look at Creating the Perfect Low-Maintenance Garden for more ideas on gardens that are easier to keep looking good.
Spotting Problems Early
Brown patches, moss taking over, thin grass… sometimes it’s not obvious what’s causing the trouble. It could be pests, poor soil, too much shade – or just years of wear and tear.
Professional landscapers can spot issues before they get out of hand. Early fixes usually mean less work (and less expense) in the long run.

Healthier, Greener Grass
There’s nothing quite like walking barefoot across a proper lawn. It feels different. It looks different. And it’s definitely more inviting than patchy grass or mud.
Getting the right lawn treatments, like aeration, scarification, overseeding, and tailored feeding, can bring a tired lawn back to life. Even better, advice from professionals means you avoid buying products that don’t suit your soil or grass type.

One-Off Help for Bigger Problems
Sometimes, no amount of feed or weeding will fix a lawn that’s had years of neglect, heavy use, or drainage issues. That’s when it’s worth calling in professional landscapers to help with one-off jobs like:
- Re-turfing the lawn
- Improving soil quality
- Sorting out drainage problems
- Laying new paths or edges to frame the lawn properly
These aren’t jobs that need doing every year, but they make a huge difference when they’re needed—and they can transform your outdoor space.

Adds Value to Your Property
A neat, healthy garden – especially a well-kept lawn – can add serious kerb appeal to your home. According to Charles Cameron & Associates (2024), a tidy, well-presented garden could boost your property’s value by up to 13%.
Whether you’re planning to move soon or just want to enjoy your space more, investing a bit of time and money into your lawn can really pay off.

You don’t need to be out there every weekend with a lawn rake and a feed spreader to have a lovely garden. With a bit of professional advice – and occasional one-off services when needed—you can get a lawn that looks great without it taking over your life.

FAQs
Does ALS Landscaping offer regular lawn care services?
No, we don’t provide regular garden maintenance. However, we do offer expert help with one-off projects like new turf installation, soil improvements, and lawn repairs.
How often should a lawn be treated?
It depends on the soil type, usage, and the weather. Good general care includes feeding in spring and autumn, regular mowing, and occasional aeration.
What can I do if my lawn is more moss than grass?
Moss usually means there’s an underlying problem—like poor drainage or compacted soil. A professional assessment can help find the best fix, whether that’s scarifying, reseeding, or improving the drainage.
