Why choose CPM for your seasonal lawn care needs?
Most lawn care companies operate on a generic annual schedule. Not us. The team at CPM understand that clay soils retain nutrient and can become severely compacted quickly — these factors determine nearly every treatment choice made about lawns in solihull. Whether you live in a tree lined neighborhood in Knowle where shade contributes to moss formation or a small, high-traffic lawn in Olton where kids and pets erode the surface of your lawn, we develop programs based upon your individual garden conditions, thereby making maintaining a lush lawn easy for you.
Expertise in local soil conditions: because CPM staff possess extensive expertise regarding clay-loamy soils found across solihull, our treatments are designed to work with your ground — not against it.
Timed to west midland weather patterns: since our staff understand when soil temperature reaches the required 6°c to initiate root growth in spring, our treatments are timed accordingly.
Experienced with drainage issues: we routinely encounter drainage issues similar to those encountered in Hollywood and bentley heath, where the combination of topography and clay soils create conditions conducive to water logging.
Knowledge of grass types found across solihull neighborhoods: perennial ryegrass, hard fescue and Chewings fescue represent three types of grass commonly found in lawns across neighborhoods such as Shirley and Dorridge.
More than 100,000 lawns treated: an exceptional success rate that indicates this is not a trial-and-error type of service.
CPM’s seasonal lawn care treatment programs
While most lawns throughout solihull experience different challenges at various times of the year, there is no reason why improving your lawn should be difficult for you since our lawn services manage the scheduling of seasonal treatments and the decision-making process regarding treatments for you. While other lawn care businesses follow a generic yearly schedule, we design our seasonal lawn treatments around what your grass needs during each phase of the year — not what other lawns in solihull may require. The majority of lawn care businesses offer either a 5 or 7 visit program per year and charge an average price of £250–£350 per visit. Since we believe that your lawn benefits from receiving quality seasonal treatments throughout the entire year, we offer 12 lawn treatments delivered via 5 visits per year. Each visit is specifically designed to meet your lawn’s changing needs throughout the year.
Spring lawn revival program
Spring treatments assist in reviving lawns following Winter dormancy. When soil temperatures rise through march and april — this is one of the best opportunities for CPM to perform seasonal lawn treatments for residents of solihull. During these months our spring lawn care treatments utilize slow release nitrogen fertilizer to promote root development without burning your turf due to rapid growth that occurs following Winter. In addition to utilizing fertilizer to stimulate growth after Winter dormancy, our spring lawn care services involve controlling weeds such as dandelion and plantain without causing damage to the grass itself. This control can be provided using both preemergent and post emergent herbicides beginning in mid april once consistent growth begins in Areas surrounding Tudor Grange Park and neighboring Areas. It is also recommended that you adjust your mowing height according to your lawn’s weather conditions and time of year. By raising your mower height to approximately 40-50 mm during early spring — you reduce the likelihood of scalping your recovering turf.
summer lawn preservation program
Solihull summers subject every lawn to extreme stress. Clay soils retain moisture during spring months but crack and harden during dry periods — exposing shallow-rooted grasses to extreme environmental stressors. Due to the above mentioned reasons, it is essential to take steps to preserve your lawn during the hottest period of the year. summer lawn preservation involves increasing mowing heights to approximately 50 mm during hot spells to shade soil and protect roots; deep watering early in the morning to minimize evaporation; Pest management to protect your lawn from damaging insects; and fungal disease control. Chafer grub and leather jacket larvae frequently plague lawns throughout solihull — especially during summer months. These pests cause irreparable damage to lawns if left unchecked. Fungal diseases such as red thread may kill your lawn if left untreated.
Autumn lawn recovery program
Significant improvement can occur with lawns in autumn. Between September and October we perform major renovations on your lawn: scarifying removes debris and dead organic matter from your lawn while aerating reduces soil compaction and increases rooting depth. Clay soils greatly benefit from hollow tine aeration — which we follow with top dressing at rates of 2–3 kg/m² using loam and sand blends that enhance drainage and structure. Overseeding replaces bare spots created by summer stress. Fall treatments ready your lawn for Winter conditions by providing high potassium/low nitrogen feeds that strengthen root systems and increase Winter hardiness. Neighbors in Areas such as Knowle, Dorridge, and bentley heath need to clear dead leaves from trees regularly to prevent fungal diseases.
Winter lawn preparatory program
During Winter months we instruct our Customers in solihull on methods for minimizing foot traffic on frozen or water logged lawns — advice we provide with each visit between november and February. We apply iron-hardening products that enhance color during Winter without stimulating weak susceptible top-growth that attracts disease. We also treat moss on lawns throughout solihull by applying liquid iron products that destroy moss — especially important for shaded gardens throughout Shirley and the Grand Union Canal corridor. Finally, we continue monitoring for fusarium patch and snow mold throughout the wet months of Winter in the West Midlands — allowing us to catch problems prior to widespread infection.
