Over here in Reading / Berkshire a very common soil type is clay, if not heavy clay. Clay soil is a good base to build on, but you can’t just leave it to itself.
What are clay soils like?
I do recommend to mix clay soil with lots of compost ( 50/50 ratio ) that help with drainage. It’s easily achieved when setting up new areas / flower beds, but what if we have a lawn sitting on
heavy clay soil ? We could still make considerable improvement and lawn aeration is one of them!
Aeration is a mechanical process, no chemicals are being used. In my opinion it really is a best service you can get for your lawn. Unless PH level of your soil is beyond an optimal spectrum for grass growth of 5.5 – 7 there really is nothing better.. but wait .. there’s chemicals…You might think I can buy lawn fertilisers, herbicides, moss treatments and yes indeed you can! Using these chemicals will surely help your lawn quickly, BUT it is only a short term solution. Once you stop these treatments your lawn will quickly go back to what it looked like before.
Let me paraphrase..
Chemical lawn treatment is like a bodybuilder on steroids.. You’re not building strength in your lawn to make it withstand everyday stress. Chemicals will make your lawn look good but
they won’t make it feel healthy and you will constantly need to spoon-feed your lawn.
GIVE YOUR LAWN A CHANCE TO BE BEAUTIFUL AND START AERATING IT !
Do we offer this service ?

Nature is soon about to go for a winter sleep, like that hedgehog from a photo above.
Barbeques and all your garden furniture soon has to find it’s space in a garage or other storage to keep it away from destructive winter forces..
Apart from clearing leaves off your lawn you probably don’t think there’s anything else worth doing at the moment.
Assuming you have sorted out everything with regards to greenery in your garden like:
hedges and shrubs trimmed, perennials cut back, diseased plant/ branches removed, lawn mowed for the last time
Despite the weather I have been asked to take another garden under my wings.
It is only a rented property therefore no major makeovers are required, just a bit of garden maintenance.
Here it is
