We're Hiring! Please get in touch to apply.

The vast majority of lawns we see across South East London have never been properly scarified. Underneath the surface there is a thick mat of thatch and dead moss that stops water and nutrients getting through to the roots. Whether you are in Dulwich, Forest Hill, or Beckenham, the problem is the same.

Our professional lawn care service gives your garden the fresh start it deserves. We use specialist equipment to scarify, overseed with quality child and pet-friendly seed, and roll for proper germination. Organic methods only, designed to create a thick, green, beautiful lawn that you will actually want to spend time on.

Organic, chemical-free methods and child-safe grass seed (Sprogs and Dogs) mean your family can enjoy the lawn worry-free from the moment it is established.

More Time to Enjoy Your Garden

One professional visit gives you results that would take a full weekend of DIY. Spend your time relaxing in the garden, not working on it.

Wildlife-Friendly & Sustainable

Organic lawn care that supports local wildlife and pollinators. A healthy lawn is part of a thriving garden ecosystem. No chemicals, ever.

What Lawn Care Includes

Preparation Mow

We mow the lawn short so new grass seed has the best chance to establish without competing against existing growth.

Electric Scarification

Our professional scarifier removes the thatch and moss layer that is suffocating your lawn. Even small gardens produce a surprising amount of material.

Debris Clearance & Raking

All thatch and debris raked up and cleared. Bare patches hand-raked to loosen the surface for better seed germination.

Even Overseeding

Professional seed spreader for consistent coverage across the whole lawn. Bare patches get a double pass for thicker growth.

Heavy Rolling

30kg roller presses seeds firmly into the soil. This seed-to-soil contact is essential for strong germination and is what most people miss when doing it themselves.

Watering In & Aftercare Guide

We water the seeds in and leave you with clear aftercare instructions so you know exactly how to look after your new lawn.

How Lawn Care Works

Book Online & Send Pictures

Choose your session in our open calendar. We will message you on WhatsApp to ask for pictures of your lawn so we can plan the best approach and check for moss, thatch, or bare patches.

Mow, Scarify & Clear

We mow short, scarify to remove thatch and moss, then rake up all the debris and loosen bare patches ready for seed. You will be amazed how much material comes out.

Overseed & Roll

Even seed distribution with our professional spreader, double pass on bare patches. Then our 30kg roller ensures firm seed-to-soil contact for the best germination.

Water In & Aftercare

We water the seeds in and leave clear instructions. Keep the lawn damp, stay off it while seeds germinate, and wait until the grass reaches 8-10cm before the first mow at the highest setting.
