Soil Improver Programme
Start boosting the quality of your soil any time of the year with our Soil Improver Programme
What is the Soil Improver Programme?
The Soil Improver programme is an organic-based annual service that consists of two granular applications a year and is suitable for any soil type. The treatments can be applied at any time of year.
These treatments are designed to naturally improve soil health in order to provide the best growing environment possible for your lawn. Think of this service as unlocking the potential that is already in your soil, which will in turn promote a healthy lawn, helping it to fight off lawn diseases and even assist in drought recovery!
The Soil Improver Programme can be added to any of these packages
How does the Soil Improver work?
Improves soil structure: The Soil Improver treatments naturally improve your soil’s physical properties and relieve compaction. Our Soil Improver programme will help to bind the small clay particles together which will allow for better drainage of the lawn which in turn will encourage deeper rooting grass plants and promote even healthier grass. This service is particularly good for new build lawns (anything built since the 1960s) which typically have poor soil quality and depth.
Increases microbial activity and plant health: Our Soil Improver programme will gently raise the PH of your soil and provide calcium. This will increase nutrient availability which will stimulate microbial activity. Microorganisms are essential for mineralising nutrients to promote grass growth and development.
Decreases the risk of disease: The increase in growth then also aids root development, allowing more oxygen to get to the root zone, keeping lawns healthier and hardening the plant against disease.
Patience is key: The Soil Improver annual programme aids your soil by naturally changing its composition. This process takes time and this is why patience is key with this service. The process of changing the soil structure and maintaining this change can take a number of years, but rest assured you will reap the rewards with a healthier, hardier lawn over time.

What our customers say about us
FAQ's
Treatments can be applied at any time of year, making the programme flexible and suitable for all seasons. The two annual applications are spaced to support consistent soil improvement and long-term lawn health.
The Soil Improver Programme is suitable for all soil types, but it’s especially beneficial for lawns on new-build properties (typically built since the 1960s), which often suffer from poor soil quality and compaction. The treatment helps relieve compaction and improve drainage, promoting deeper root growth.
Good news! You can start improving your lawn at any time of the year. We offer different treatments suited to the season:
- February-April (Season Starter Treatment): aims to wake up your lawn, deliver early nutrients and an early boost for your lawn before the growing season.
- Spring–summer (Early & Mid-Season Treatments): maintains strong growth, manages weeds, supports colour during warm and dry periods.
- Autumn-winter (Late & End-of-Season Treatments): targets moss, strengthens roots for winter, and greens up the lawn during slower growth phases.
Start whenever you’re ready, the sooner we assess your lawn, the sooner we can begin improvements.
By gently raising the soil’s pH and adding calcium, the treatment increases nutrient availability and stimulates microbial activity. These microorganisms are essential for breaking down nutrients and supporting healthy grass growth. The improved soil structure also allows better oxygen flow to the root zone, reducing disease risk and enhancing drought resistance.
Yes — we offer three main tiers: Basic, Standard, and Enhanced.
- Basic Package: Includes all year-round core treatments (Season Starter, Early, Mid, Late, End-of-Season). From ~£10.42/month.
- Standard Package: Includes everything in the Basic Package plus a lawn aeration for improved soil and root health. From ~£14.50/month.
- Enhanced Package: Full lawn scarification, aeration and reseeding tailored to your lawns needs. (including scarification, aeration and seeding). From ~£21.58/month.
If you prefer a custom plan, we can tailor one to match the exact condition of your lawn.
Soil improvement is a gradual process. While some benefits may be visible within the first year, full transformation can take several years. Patience is key, as the programme works naturally to change the soil’s composition and maintain long-term health.
