With just a few simple steps — and your trusty ATCO lawnmower ready for action — your lawn will be the envy of the neighbourhood.
Rake Away Moss and Thatch
February is perfect for gently raking your lawn to remove any moss or thatch build-up, along with fallen leaves and other garden debris.
This helps improve airflow and creates a better environment for healthy grass growth when spring arrives.
Pro Tip: Use a spring-tined rake and work in light strokes to avoid damaging the grass.
Aerate Compact Areas
If certain parts of your lawn get heavy foot traffic, the soil may be compacted.
Use a garden fork to poke holes in these areas to improve drainage and encourage stronger roots.
