Autumn lawn care is the best way to give your lawn ‘supplies’ for the winter and set up comfortable conditions for its rest. Well-planned actions now translate directly into fewer problems in the spring: instead of patching thinning areas and fighting snow mould, you start the season with a thick, springy turf in deep green. Below you will find a simple, consistent sequence of steps — each with a specific rationale and measurable benefits.
Autumn lawn feed ‘Winter Survival’ — the foundation of winter resilience
Start by applying Autumn Lawn Feed – Winter Survival – Mr. Green Grass®. This fertiliser has a nutrient profile tailored for the late season: high potassium and phosphorus build a strong root system, thicken the turf, and increase its natural resistance to frost and diseases. You will feel the effect at two moments: in winter — when the lawn copes better with frost drying and lingering snow — and in early spring, when it ‘starts’ faster and greens up more evenly.
Autumn Lawn Feed – Winter Survival – Mr. Green Grass®
Price range: £13,00 through £61,00- Protects the turf for the entire winter period
- Increases the lawn’s resistance to hard frosts
- Stimulates tillering
- It is environmentally friendly
- It has great customer reviews
Overseeding — thickening the turf before winter
Overseeding is the simplest way to close the season with a lawn as even as a carpet. It fills in gaps after an intensive summer, thickens the turf, and increases its natural resilience. A thick lawn is harder for weeds to penetrate, winters better under snow, and starts faster in spring — without patching ‘bald’ spots. The best time is early to mid-autumn, when the soil is still warm and moist. Include overseeding in your autumn plan: after a thorough leaf clean-up and before the arrival of permanent frosts. Thanks to this, young seedlings will have time to take root, and you will enter winter with an even surface.
Self-Repairing Lawn Seed Mix – Patch Repair – Mr. Green Grass®
Price range: £23,00 through £45,00- EXCLUSIVELY for overseeding existing lawns and spot repairs
- Resistance to mechanical damage and rapid self-repair
- Dense turf with high aesthetic and functional qualities
- High seed quality and purity ensuring a uniform lawn
- Perfect for sports pitches, recreational lawns and domestic gardens
- Self-repairing properties allow you to avoid unsightly patches
Hydroactive top dressing — better soil structure, uniform moisture
If the soil is compact, tends to crust, or holds moisture unevenly, reach for Hydroactive Top Dressing – Soil Transformation – Mr. Green Grass®. Such a layer, which levels and improves water absorption, acts as a ‘shock absorber’ for the roots: it limits flooding in hollows and drying out on mounds. In practice, this translates into calmer wintering and a more even start in spring — the lawn doesn’t ‘go bald’ in patches because the roots have more stable conditions.
Hydroactive Top Dressing – Soil Transformation – Mr. Green Grass®
£18,00- Thoroughly improves the soil structure
- Enhances the effects of scarification and aeration
- Optimises the water management of the substrate
- Acts as a natural nutrient store
- Inhibits moss and fungi development
- Free delivery
Lawn Booster – Moss Killer — restore the turf’s advantage
Moss is a signal that the turf lacks light, it is too damp, or the soil pH deviates from the optimum. Using Lawn Booster – Moss Killer – Mr. Green Grass® helps reverse these trends: you limit the competitor and give space and resources back to the turf. The result? A thicker, more uniform green carpet that copes better with winter pressure.
Lawn Booster – Moss Killer – Mr. Green Grass®
Price range: £17,00 through £30,00- Quickly provides a lush green
- Causes deeper rooting and increases the quantity of lawn roots
- Increases the lawn’s resistance to diseases
- Effectively combats moss
- Lowers soil pH
- Strengthens the lawn before winter
pH Balancer after approx. 4 weeks — increase nutrient availability
About four weeks after fertilising, reach for the pH Balancer – Uptake Improvement – Mr. Green Grass®. Balancing the soil reaction is like unlocking the pantry door: nutrients already in the soil (including those from the autumn fertiliser) become more available to the roots. In practice, this means a stronger root system, more stable winter condition, and a visibly better reaction to spring warming. An additional plus: the correct pH limits conditions favourable to moss.
pH Balancer – Uptake Improvement – Mr. Green Grass®
Price range: £7,00 through £30,00- Supports the uptake of nutrients
- It is environmentally friendly
- Effectively regulates soil pH
- Stimulates microbial life in the root zone
Organic bioactivation — living soil means healthy turf
If you want to further improve the fertility of the substrate and support soil microorganisms, reach for Soil Improver – Organic Bioactivation – Mr. Green Grass®. Active, ‘living’ soil means faster nutrient cycling and more efficient rooting — an investment that pays off especially on weaker sites.
Soil Improver – Organic Bioactivation – Mr. Green Grass®
Price range: £11,00 through £43,00- Stimulates the activity of microorganisms in the soil
- Improves nutrition via the root system
- Ecologically improves soil parameters
- Enriches the soil and improves fertilisation efficiency
- It has great reviews from customers
Regular leaf removal — a simple task, a big advantage
Autumn leaves look picturesque, but when left on the lawn, they create a damp, impermeable layer. Under such a ‘blanket’, the turf cannot breathe, the blades soften and easily fall victim to snow mould (characteristic white coating and patches). Every thorough raking is a real gain: more light, better air circulation, and a drier environment at ground level, meaning fewer diseases and a faster start to growth in spring.
Lawn and Leaf Sweeper
£85,00- Enables convenient and accurate lawn and leaf sweeper performance.
- Allows you to work comfortably without frequent bending over
- Works on uneven ground thanks to height adjustment
- Works without noise or exhaust emissions
- Features 4 precision rotating brushes for thorough sweeping
How to schedule the actions?
- Ideally in mid-October: apply Autumn Lawn Feed – Winter Survival – Mr. Green Grass® and start removing leaves regularly.
- Perform overseeding with Self-Repairing Lawn Seed Mix – Patch Repair – Mr. Green Grass®.
- Throughout autumn: keep the lawn surface clean; if necessary, use a lawn and leaf sweeper.
- About 4 weeks after fertilising: apply pH Balancer – Uptake Improvement – Mr. Green Grass® to strengthen the effect of the fertiliser and improve conditions for the turf.
- Before the first permanent frosts: perform the final mowing to a height of 4–5 cm.
- In the period November-December: do a soil test; optionally supplement care with hydroactive top dressing and/or bioactivation.
Why is it worth it? Summary of benefits in practice
- Fewer diseases and bald turf after winter — leaves do not create a wet ‘duvet’, and the turf breathes and does not rot.
- Higher resistance to frost and snow — potassium and phosphorus from the autumn lawn feed build root strength, and the correct pH allows this to be fully utilised.
- Faster, even start in spring — the lawn has ‘fuel’ in the roots and good soil conditions, so it greens up evenly and thickly.
- Less work in the following season — instead of saving weakened areas, you focus on quality care.
Take care of these few steps now, and in spring you will see the difference with every step on the grass: springiness underfoot, deeper green, and density that pleases the eye and makes further care easier.
