How to Use This Lawn Treatment Cost Calculator

The cost calculator is ideal for providing a general idea of what to budget for your lawn treatment, especially if you’ve never had to work it out before. There are several factors that can change the price, and this tool helps you calculate costs with those in mind.

Measure the Lawn Area

When you want to apply products or consider the scope of certain treatments for your lawn, it’s useful to know the size of the area. You can use a tape measure for smaller lawns and estimate for larger gardens.

With these measurements, you can work out the square meterage, making pricing more accurate. You’ll know how much product is needed and how long a task may take. Knowing the size of your lawn also lets you decide if a job is suited to a one-off visit or requires an ongoing treatment plan.

Choose the Type of Treatment

The cost of your chosen lawn treatment is influenced by the specific product you use, the amount of time required to do the job and whether specialist equipment is required. Which remedy you choose also depends on whether your lawn needs improvement, recovery or simply routine maintenance.

General lawn feed is suitable for regular maintenance of your lawn and promotes healthy grass growth.

Weed control helps you to remove and prevent broadleaf weeds such as dandelions and clover from taking over your lawn, improving its appearance.

Moss control is important for shady or damp lawns where this herbaceous plant thrives. It can quickly smother your grass, competing for water and nutrients if left unchecked.

Removing moss and thatch from your lawn is done by scarification, cutting vertically into the lawn to extract dead material. This is a very labour-intensive process if done manually.

Aeration of the lawn alleviates compaction of the soil and allows water, air and nutrients to get to the grass roots. It involves creating holes or removing plugs of soil from the ground. Applying treatment afterwards lets the product penetrate more deeply.

A full treatment package is best for lawns that need several of these services across the year and is ideal for neglected grass areas.

Assess the Lawn's Current Condition

If the lawn is in poor condition, it generally requires more treatment and, as a result, costs more to improve. Stronger or multiple treatments may be needed and can include scarification, aeration, top-dressing, overseeding and fertilising to restore the lawn.

Practically, this means repeat visits and more time to bring the grass back to good health, adding to your budget. All of this remedial work is necessary before a healthy lawn can be achieved.

Number of Visits Per Year

Depending on the condition of your lawn, you may need a one-off improvement visit or an annual treatment plan. While more frequent visits will increase your outlay, the benefit to your lawn will typically be more long-term.

Additional Services

If your lawn needs added services such as scarification, aeration, top dressing and overseeding, these will increase your costs. The price of the extra materials and equipment needed, as well as how labour-intensive the processes are, all affect how much you pay.

Regional Price Differences

Regional labour rates vary across the UK, with the highest typically being in London and the southeast. By including regional location in our cost calculator, the price estimate that you receive is more realistic and appropriate for your project.

Why Do We Include Labour Costs?

Many homeowners prefer to hire a lawn care specialist as they realise that lawn treatment is not as straightforward and simple as applying fertiliser or removing weeds. On the contrary, good lawn care requires an understanding of the condition of the soil and grass, as well as deep product knowledge and its proper and timely application.

Professional gardeners understand what grass needs at different times of the year and according to its condition.

Homeowners don’t always have the time and energy to dedicate to a proper lawn care treatment plan.

It’s easy to cause even more damage to your lawn if you treat it with the wrong product, use too much or apply it at the wrong time - leaving it to the professional avoids this kind of mistake.

Lawn care specialists offer expert advice on the right treatment plan for your lawn, whether that’s dealing with weeds, moss, drainage issues, patchiness or bare areas.

Most homeowners want the best possible lawn they can have. It looks great, adding kerb appeal to your home and making the garden a pleasure to spend time in. Expert lawn specialists deliver long-lasting results for your grass, giving you the lawn you’ve always dreamed of.
