lammo Jul 2011 9:19pm, 24 Jul 2011 4,049 posts	0 lammo Its a service, a man comes round four times a year and applies a weedkiller and a slow release feed, that's cated so doesn't burn the lawn, of course they have all the equipment to do the job well, and you can't buy the stuff they use. They did offer aeration and scarifying as well but it was really expensive, i ended up hiring som petrol powered machines from HSS and did it myself, quite good fun

The Terminator Jul 2011 10:14pm, 24 Jul 2011 3,748 posts	0 The Terminator Cheers Lammo. Had a quick look at website but no real guide on price. The patch of front lawn I want done is very small, about 7 metres by 4 I would estimate. Won't cost a fortune. Aeration and scarifying eh? In English?

GregP Jul 2011 8:23am, 25 Jul 2011 49,921 posts	0 GregP Make holes in it with a hollow tined aerator, more likely. Not a job for July (we do ours in October, manually).
D2 Jul 2011 9:51am, 25 Jul 2011 4,128 posts	0 D2 GregP clearly does a more proffessional job than D2!
