Lawn Care in Eskbank

Eskbank's big old trees are the making of the place and the main event for its lawns. Heavy canopy means shade for much of the day and leaf fall by the barrow. Shaded grass holds moisture, moss loves moisture, and left alone it will quietly take a lawn a metre a year.

Many lawns here have been down for fifty years or more. Age brings thatch: a dense mat of old material that stops water and feed reaching the soil. Scarifying every year or two keeps it in check, and older swards bounce back better than people expect once they can breathe.

The Esk valley is kind: sheltered, relatively mild, growth arriving early and hanging on late. That gives us a long working window, and we use it: spring feeds early, autumn renovations late, and mowing that follows the growth rather than a fixed diary.

Eskbank sits minutes from our base on the same round as Dalkeith and Bonnyrigg. We know these streets lawn by lawn, and getting on the round here is as simple as it gets.
