Leatherjackets (the larvae of crane flies or commonly known as daddy longlegs) can cause serious damage to lawns.

These small, grey-brown grubs live in the soil and feed on grass roots, leading to yellow patches, thinning turf, and in severe cases, large dead areas. You might also notice birds pecking at your lawn—this is often a sign they’re feeding on the larvae.

Leatherjackets are most active in autumn and spring, so it’s important to keep an eye out for early signs of damage. Healthy lawn care and timely treatment can help prevent them from taking over.

If your lawn is looking patchy or weak, leatherjackets could be the cause 🌱

Dry spell on the way? Now’s the time to give your lawn a proper soak 🌱

Water deeply (not little and often) and aim for early morning or evening to make it count 💧

A bit of effort now will keep it looking green through the dry weather.

Spring is the most important time to start lawn treatments. Early feeding and w**d control sets your lawn up for the whole year🌱🍀

Your lawn after winter: tired, pale, and slightly dramatic. A bit of care in spring perks it right back up🌳

Good advice 👊👊

Don’t cut your lawn too short 🌱✂️

It might look neat at first, but mowing your grass too low can actually do more harm than good.

Here’s why you should keep it a little longer:
• Helps grass stay healthier and stronger
• Retains moisture during warmer days
• Reduces w**d growth naturally
• Protects roots from stress and damage

A good rule of thumb: never cut more than one-third of the grass height at a time.

Let it grow a little, and your lawn will thank you 💚🌿

After nearly nine years, it’s time for me take a backward step and allow my son Alfie to take over the reins of the business.
Alf has worked with me before, knows exactly what he’s doing and will work with Kayn on a daily basis.
I have problems with pain in my knees but will still be involved with banking, VAT, stock etc.
Any problems or issues, Alf and Kayn are quite competent to deal with.
Thank you for a fantastic nine years!!
If you haven’t met Alfie, here he is. He’s just a younger and slimmer version of me😉

Many congratulations to Dan Salter was awarded player of the match for the Wids in their 26 - 22 win away at Aldwinians earlier today.
I’m always happy to support younger players who play sport locally.
Well done Dan 👏

Do you think your lawn is full of moss?
Well this lawn has NEVER been scarified. The amount of moss tells us that.
We had to empty the van and go back to collect the second amount.
Will look good come April
