Autumn Lawn Renovation Program – Thatch Removal & Soil Rejuvenation

At ProLawn Greenkeeping Services, our Autumn Program is all about preparing your lawn for the cold months ahead. By removing built-up thatch and reconditioning your soil, we give your lawn a healthier base to survive winter and bounce back greener and stronger in spring.

This isn’t a weed spray or fertiliser visit — it’s a complete lawn renovation designed to clear out the junk that’s choking your turf and make way for better growth.

What Is the Autumn Program?

The Autumn Program is a one-off seasonal service carried out during autumn, usually in March–May. It’s ideal for lawns with heavy thatch, moss growth, drainage issues, or compaction — all of which can limit your lawn’s ability to breathe and absorb nutrients.

It’s available to both new and existing clients, including those on our Premium Lawn Care Program (PLC).

🧹 What Is Thatch and Why Is It a Problem?

Thatch is a layer of dead grass, roots, and organic material that builds up on the soil surface. There are two main types:

Buffalo lawns tend to build up thick spongy layers from overactive stolons
Couch and zoysia lawns often accumulate thatch from old, dead plant matter Left untreated, thatch can:
Block water and nutrients from reaching the soil
Encourage moss, fungal disease, and pests
Make mowing difficult (especially in buffalo lawns)
Weaken turf density and root systems
