Being a professional gardener and nurseryman, I’ve used many different types of lawns over the years, from the newest cordless rotary mowers I reviewed here to powerful petrol lawn mowers, which are great mowers for large lawns. Don’t get me wrong; I love my other modern mowers, especially cordless mowers, as there is no engine to service or power leads to worry about and have hanging over my shoulder. I don’t have to worry about…
When it comes to lawn care, I’ve learnt a lot over the past 20 years of lawn maintenance as part of my family’s nursery in Manchester and my garden maintenance business I did until a couple of years ago. What I can tell you is that the perfect lawn starts with a decent lawn mower; maybe you even have a lawn scarifier to remove all that moss and thatch, and you’ve treated your lawn with…

As a professional gardener and nurseryman with over 20 years of experience, I understand how important it is to maintain a lawn properly. This includes scarifying the lawn to remove moss and thatch, aerating the lawn to improve drainage, to choosing the best grass seed for your specific needs. Once I’ve successfully scarified and aerated the lawn, it is time to apply grass seed/overseed or lawn feed (sometimes with a moss killer), and this is…
I’ve been in the gardening game for almost 20 years now. After I left horticultural college after two years, it was off to work at my family’s nursery/garden centre before setting up my own gardening service business. Up until a couple of years ago, I still had a full-time gardening maintenance business, but now that I write reviews like this one which takes a huge amount of time, I did keep a few larger jobs…
There is no way around it, if you want a decent, lush green lawn it takes a lot of work and preparation and then maintenance. In this guide, I’m going to show you what I have found to be the best lawn aerators after testing several models over the last few years. Personally, I have been aerating lawns for almost 20 years, and it’s amazing that in that time, the aerating process hasn’t really changed.…

Either way, in this review, I’m going to show you some of the best lawn mowers for uneven lawns. The first…
My Best Moss killer for Lawns review looks at the pros and cons of each of the products I present and discuss the best features of each, some of them do more than just kill the moss, in fact, they pretty much all do by the very nature. I also recommend in which situations to use each product because some are easier to use to help avoid burning your lawn, which is a common mistake…
I’ve been using Flymo lawnmowers for over 20 years, mainly the petrol hover mower which is an excellent tool as part of my garden maintenance business I ran alongside working in the family nursery. Flymo hover mowers are great for slopes, embankments and uneven lawns. In fact, we still have a couple of these petrol hover mowers to this day and they still fire up the first time every time. Like a lot of people,…
