Our core lawn care services include:
Grass cutting and edge maintenance – our mowing and edge maintenance program in birmingham is designed to meet the varying needs of lawns in the area. We recommend cutting every 7-14 days depending on weather conditions from April to November. This can be adjusted according to the time of Year and your personal preference.
Weed control & moss treatment – birmingham lawns are subject to a wide variety of weeds and moss. Some examples include dandelion, clover, buttercup, and red thread. Selective herbicides are applied to treat these unwanted weeds and kill them off without harming your grass.
Lawn Fertilisation programmes – as mentioned earlier, the climate in birmingham presents a challenge to lawn care. Cool and wet winters followed by warm and dry summers make it difficult to find the perfect fertilizer programme. To combat this problem, we’ve created a 3-stage fertilization programme that treats your lawn’s needs during the spring, summer and Autumn/winter periods.
Aerating and scarifying your lawn – compacted lawns can become damaged through heavy foot traffic, play equipment, etc. Aerating your lawn allows air to enter the soil, improving drainage and increasing oxygen supply. This is especially important for large lawns in areas like Sutton Coldfield. Scarifying your lawn removes debris and improves airflow and nutrient uptake.
Seeding over-seeded area of your lawn – depending on the extent of damage to your lawn, either partial or full seeding may be required. We’ll determine which course of action is necessary upon visiting your home or business. Overseeding is effective for small patches whereas a full lawn renovation is more suitable for larger damaged areas.
Pest and disease management – there are various lawn pests found in birmingham such as leather jackets and chafer grubs that eat away at the roots of your grass. Birds will also pick at the turf in search of these pests. Common lawn diseases in the area include red thread, fusarium patch and rust. We monitor for these pests and diseases, applying targeted treatments when required.
We cater for all parts of the birmingham area including edgbaston, harborne, moseley, Kings Heath, Selly Oak, Erdington, Sutton Coldfield, Solihull, Bromsgrove, Dudley, West Bromwich, Smethwick and halesowen.

The lawn care services provided by CPM in birmingham
In this section we outline the core services provided by CPM in birmingham. Each service ranges from one-off remedies for specific problems to ongoing garden maintenance programs. Whether you’re looking for a one-time fix for an issue with your lawn or prefer to invest in ongoing garden maintenance to promote continuous healthy growth, our methods will produce enduring outcomes.
Regular mowing & edging – regular lawn mowing in birmingham requires consideration of the changing seasons. During the active growing season (March to October) most lawns require mowing every 7-14 days. However, during colder months (November to february) visits reduce dramatically. For example; only 1/4 to 1/3 of lawns require mowing during january/february.
Weeds and moss control – lawns across birmingham encounter numerous weeds including dandelions, clover, buttercups etc., while moss tends to thrive in shady regions with poor drainage such as Stirchley, Selly Oak, Quinton etc.
CPM employ select herbicides specifically formulated to kill weeds without harming other elements of the lawn. The timing of these treatments is crucial since weeds tend to grow rapidly and be susceptible to herbicides when they are actively growing.
Our approach to moss control involves treating the moss First, then follow-up with scarification/aeration where necessary to prevent it from regrowing. Treating only the moss will result in new moss growth in approximately three months.
Fertilising / Seasonal treatments – due to the cool/mild climate and occasional wet/dry spells that occur in birmingham, it is imperative that a structured fertiliser regime is adopted instead of making sporadic applications.
Our fertilizing strategy is defined by four distinct seasons:
Season
Timing
Target
Spring feed
Mar-may
Reawaken dormant grass after winter.
summer feed
Jun-aug
Maintain Colour; promote stress tolerance.
Autumn/winter feed
Sep-nov
Enhance root system; boost resistance to diseases
The choice of fertiliser type employed varies depending on the stage of growth of your lawn. Where possible we utilise slow release fertilisers to avoid spikes in growth that lead to increased mowing frequency. This approach is beneficial for busy homeowners living in areas such as moseley/Sutton Coldfield etc.
Optional wetting agents – lawns suffering from summer-drying spots, (typically due to exposed locations) e.g. Solihull/Bromsgrove etc., are treated with optional wetting agents to facilitate penetration of water into compacted/hydrophobic soils.
Aeration & scarification – lawn aeration alleviates soil compaction by allowing air-water-nutrient exchange with grass roots. Heavy-use lawns (residential/gardens/family etc.) in birmingham require frequent aeration (as frequently as quarterly).
Hollow-tine aeration is used for compacted clay soils (common across birmingham). Hollow tine aerators create small holes that allow air, water, and nutrients to reach the grass roots; thus providing improved drainage/roots/foot-traffic resistance.
Scarification removes dead debris/thatch/moss from your lawn which becomes soggy/spongy due to accumulation at grass base level. Thatch can block water/nutrients entering soil.
Timing: both processes can be undertaken early-spring/or early-autumn when grasses recover quickest.
Over-seeding, repair & renovation programs – Bare patches/thin spots/large wear areas around playground equipment/trampolines/pathways are common on high-traffic lawns in birmingham.
Repair process:
Soil surface preparation
Quality UK-grass seed mixtures are supplied
Quality top dressings are supplied
Post-repair watering instructions are given
Tree-shaded lawns (handsworth wood/edgbaston etc.), we use low-light tolerant seed mixes that germinate faster than standard varieties.
Extremely worn-out lawns might require our full-lawn-renovation program consisting of scarification/aeration/seeding/feeding (over multiple months). Visually apparent thickening should begin within six-twelve weeks; final results should appear within one growing season.
Disease/pest management programs – lawns in birmingham can contract diseases such as red thread/fusarium patch/rust which are generally related to poor-draining/shade or improper lawn mowing height.
CPM examines lawns for evidence of disease or pest infestation and identifies corresponding cultural controls. Targeted treatments are administered if necessary.
Leather jackets/chafer grubs/lawns pests (bird damage) – common pests damaging roots/grasses in birmingham include leather jackets/chafer grubs. Birds will pick at turf searching for grubs (e.g.; Great Barr/Castle Bromwich etc.).
We administer treatments targeting larva when they’re most vulnerable. We detail how to manage post-application recovery so you’re informed about your lawn’s status.
