A healthy lawn certainly adds to a beautiful garden. Optimal fertilisation and the right care measures using GARDENA tools will help you achieve one – regardless whether your lawn is new or already grown. Lawn mowing is the number one task but if you want to find that professional finish it should be followed by edging and trimming. However there’s more to lawn care than just cutting the grass if you want that perfect look. Proper aerating and fertilisation should be done as routine. Then of course watering in dry periods and cultivating are an important part of the planning
The right lawnmower for every lawn
The biggest decision you’ll make for your lawn is which lawn mower to buy. Lawn mowing is one of the most important elements of lawn care. Frequent mowing helps to develop a lawn. GARDENA offers two basic types of lawn mowers: The Rotary Lawnmower for a normal cut and the Cylinder Lawnmower for an especially precise cut.
Within the GARDENA Rotary Lawnmower range you can choose between electric, battery-driven or petrol-driven lawnmower models. If you’re aiming for the perfectly cut English lawn, take one of the cylinder mowers – either one of the hand pushed models or, for more comfort, the electric or battery-driven cylinder lawnmower. Whatever your preferences – GARDENA will support you with the right solutions for your lawn requirement.
Edging gives your lawn a finished look
Lawnmowers are designed to handle all types of grass and cutting heights, giving great results. But when it comes to the edges it’s a different story. GARDENA offers a number of products to reach inaccessible areas easily thus making lawn-edge care very simple and comfortable.
The simplest way of cutting overlaying grass is using Mechanical Grass Shears. They are extremely easy to handle and are best applied for manicure of grass around smaller beds and terraces. The more comfortable and ergonomic way for lawn edge care is using GARDENA Accu Grass Shears or Turbotrimmers. With battery-driven grass shears even bigger areas can be cut precisely, efficiently and comfortably. The GARDENA Turbotrimmers are equipped with high-tech plastic blades or a rotating nylon filament and this way cut powerfully and quickly. They are particularly convenient for overgrown lawn edges, against gravel paths or stonewalls.
Take a little time on the lawn
Good lawn care starts with mowing but there are other things to consider, for example scarifying and aerating. Spring or autumn is the time to scarify your lawn to remove unwanted organic debris in your grass such as moss or thatch. Left in place it stops air, water and fertiliser from reaching your grass roots - promoting disease and causing ugly patches of growth.
Prepare yourself with GARDENA tools and create the basis for the perfect lawn right through the year. For a healthy lawn, matted grass and moss should be removed with a Lawn Aerator once or twice per year. Help to avoid the formation of moss with a Lawn Rake as well as remove leaves.
Feed your lawn with the right nutrients
A thick, lush lawn is beautiful to look at, perfect for a cosy picnic and also robust enough for playing children. But even the best lawn suffers from long, cold and wet winter months or dry summers.
This is why well-directed lawn fertilisation nourishes your lawn and guarantees dense and healthy turf. After all, a vital and dense lawn is the best prevention for undesirable symptoms, such as moss pads or fungal diseases. With one of the GARDENA Spreaders you can take care of this important lawn care programme. You can also use spreaders for seeding lawn or for dispersing winter grit like salt or sand.
