Lawn Care

The well manicured lawn, lush, green and dandelion-free is nowadays a British tradition.

It takes some people many years to achieve this glorious look, but thankfully help is at hand for those of us that only have a few hours to spare at the weekend.

We have lawns well covered at Poplar Nurseries, and can offer you the market leaders in lawn care such as Westland Lawn Feed and Weed and Moss Killer and Evergreen Complete 4 in 1. These products will help to green up your lawn in no time and help reduce weeds. Please ask a member of our trained staff if you require further assistance.

Neudorff Nematodes – biological plant protection

Nematodes are very small roundworms that can be found in almost every ecosystem on earth. Some species of these tiny creatures are predatory and can be utilised in horticulture for the control of many soil bourne pests. Nematodes kill larval pests, thereby stopping the damage they cause to plants and lawns. They first enter the pest larvae and inject it with bacteria, causing death. Nematodes will then eat the dead body, multiply and immediately start searching for a new host. Once their source of food is exhausted the nematodes will themselves die, leaving behind no evidence of them ever being there.

How to identify which product I need:

Damage to the lawn – it can look like malnutrition or in need of over seeding with small white grubs with pincers in the soil – Chafer Grub.
Damage to the lawn – it can look like malnutrition or in need of over seeding with brown/black grubs without pincers in the soil – Leatherjacket.
