Groundcare Priorities For The Summer Months

June 24, 2016

Bobcat Trencher Attachment

Summer is the best time of year for anyone with an interest in gardening, as all of your hard work over the past months can be enjoyed. Unfortunately, though, a hot summer can take its toll on your treasured lawn and grounds. Keeping your lawn looking its best throughout the season will be a lot easier with these groundcare tips.

Moisture and Nutrition Are Key
All plants love to drink plenty of water, and with the dry, hot weather characteristic of summer, your lawn can quickly lose its lush, green appearance. Sprinklers or judicious watering can help prevent this.

Plants get hungry too, and keeping your lawn properly fed will help to fortify it against the drought, footfall and heat. There are a wide range of plant feed products available, many of which have a noticeable effect after just a few days.

Freshly turfed or recently sown lawns need more attention during summer, especially if any dry spells hit. Excessively light watering can lead to roots moving towards the surface, so give the lawn a good drenching. It’s best to water thoroughly around sunset to give the liquid plenty of time to filter down through the soil to the roots.

Things to Watch Out For
All that extra light and heat tends to make lawns put on spurts of growth. If the summer is particularly nice, you may find yourself needing to mow twice a week. Be careful not to cut it too short when it’s particularly hot, or you could cause the lawn stress damage.

The odd weed patch can be remedied easily by using selective weedkillers. Larger areas of moss or unwanted weeds can be treated with a concentrated weedkiller.

Patchy areas of lawn or visibly chewed roots may be symptoms of underground larvae bugs, such as chafer grubs or leather jackets. Fortunately nematodes – a kind of tiny worm – are these bugs’ natural enemies, and can be found in any good gardening centre.

Testimonials

Paul Bush OBE – Director of Events, VisitScotland

The Carryway operation was run very professionally and smoothly and to a very high standard. Their knowledge and attention to detail with the complicated planning and logistics involved were exceptional; they were a pleasure to deal with and I can highly recommend their services.

Rachel Mitchell – Senior Manager for Golf Events, IMG Golf

It has been a delight to deal with Carryway, who were our Official Golf Buggy Supplier for The 2019 Solheim Cup. They combine efficient logistics with a professional approach to every aspect of delivery, and the equipment our event benefited from was both functional and stylish. A big thank you to a wonderful Partner.

Dave Player, Team Brit Racing – CEO

The Carryway buggy was a lifesaver – and that’s no exaggeration! We were racing in the Aston Martin Le Mans Festival, which is a 45 mins support race just before the start for the big 24hr race. Our garages were about 2km away so getting all our gear to/from the pitlane for the race was made so simple because of the buggy! And it would have taken (the team) ages to get there and back! We are enormously proud of our new buggy and the livery made for it. It helps us stand out and helps raise our profile, not to mention being an essential team donkey.”

Simon Widowson – Event Men

Thank you Carryway for supplying the buggy for us at Chatsworth this year. All went well and no issues at all – it was a definite improvement on the equipment supplied last year by a different company. Happy to use you again for next year .

Daryn Cochrane – Head of Golf & PGA Professional, The Westerwood Hotel & Golf Resort

Thank you for the excellent customer service that we recently received from Hugh Healy, Carryway Support. Hugh was very thorough and had excellent communications with us regarding our buggy fleet at The Westerwood Resort – nothing was too difficult for him.

Caring For Life / Charity – Carl Rayner

Our open day event is a very important day for us, and it makes life much easier to have a relationship with a company (Carryway) that we can rely on each year.

Carryway are always a pleasure to deal with and their drivers are always friendly and professional. It takes a little bit of worry out of my job knowing that I can rely on your good service.

Many thanks to the team, especially Adam who was friendly, helpful and professional.

Nick Rushworth – Golf Operations Director, MacDonald Linden Hall

It is a pleasure to work with Carryway, the service and support they provide has been first class. We originally signed up for 14 brand new buggies for one year to sample working with the company.

We were pleased with the service and the product provided and have since signed up for the next few seasons and hopefully with many more to come after that.
