Now is the time to replace your tired looking lawn

September and October are the best months to lay new turf, seed a lawn or carry out lawn maintenance tasks such as fertilising, topdressing and overseeding.

It is important that your new, or repaired, lawn has a few weeks to settle before winter sets in so Autumn is an important season for taking care of your lawn. It’s also a good time to apply a bark mulch to beds and borders to help reduce weeds, to make your borders look good and to protect plants during the winter months.

To help you during this important time of year Rolawn will save you £5 when you buy Rolawn GroRight® Autumn Lawn Food Twin Pack for just £20.90 each as well as a 15% discount on Rolawn Decorative Bark using code bark510 until 20th September 2010.
