I’m a gardening expert – you’ve got two weeks to get the perfect lawn this summer, what you need to do this weekend
IF YOU want your lawn to be ship shape and ready for summer, now's the time to start giving it some attention.
A gardening expert explained why you need to crack on with lawn maintenance in early April.
Owner of JayRock Lawn Care & Gardening Sam, spruces up lawns for a living and said you need to be treating your grass in the next two weeks.
He said: "Treating lawns is always good practice once the early morning frosts are lifting and you notice your lawn actively growing.
"The first two to three weeks of April is a good benchmark."
Treating your lawn with a mix of nutrients to feed the grass will keep it green and lush.
The pro said: "A spring feed with a medium-high nitrogen content will be perfect to kick the lawn into the growing season."
