FAQs
Will my lawn look perfect immediately after scarification?

No. Scarification often makes a lawn look rough at first. Improvement develops over the following weeks with watering and growth.

Do I need to water after overseeding?

Yes. Aftercare is very important and we provide basic guidance on watering and mowing.

Can you remove moss and reseed in one visit?

Yes, that is commonly done in the same service, subject to lawn condition.

What if my lawn is mostly weeds or badly uneven?

A different solution or a larger lawn renovation plan may be more suitable. Send photos and we will advise.

Can this link into regular maintenance?

Yes. Ongoing maintenance can help support the recovery and future condition of the lawn.
