The Grass People’s Expert Tips for a Greener Winter Lawn

November 13, 2025/in News, Press Release/by Admin

The Grass People’s Expert Tips for a Greener Winter Lawn: As temperatures drop and frost sets in, many UK homeowners assume their lawns must go dormant until spring. But according to Chris McIlroy, Lawn Expert at The Grass People, “winter is not the end it’s the preparation stage”.

Their winter lawn-care products gives gardeners the right tools to keep lawns nourished, moss-free, and healthy all season long ensuring a strong, vibrant return in spring.

The Grass People’s Expert Tips for a Greener Winter Lawn

Step 1: Spread precisely don’t waste your effort

Even the best fertiliser underperforms if it’s applied unevenly. The Grass People’s range of professional-grade lawn spreaders ensures consistent, controlled application across lawns of any size. From lightweight handheld spreaders for smaller gardens to broadcast options for larger areas, even coverage means better results and no patchy regrowth.

“A spreader may seem simple, but it’s the secret to consistency,” says Chris McIlroy, Lawn Expert at The Grass People. “Every handful applied evenly saves you from patchy growth and wasted product.”

Step 2: Feed for the season, not the week

Winter lawncare is about slow, steady nourishment not quick fixes. The Grass People’s SLOW RELEASE: Autumn/Winter Fertiliser provides up to four months of feeding in a single treatment. With an NPK of 8-0-6 plus added magnesium and iron, it strengthens grass against frost and disease, helping roots stay active through the colder months.

Apply in late autumn while the soil is still workable to lock in nutrients before growth slows.“Our slow-release formulas mean fewer applications and less waste, ideal for time-poor gardeners who still want results,” says Chris McIlroy.

Step 3: Control moss while you feed

Moss thrives in damp, shaded lawns when grass weakens during winter. The SLOW RELEASE: Winter Feed & Moss Control takes a dual-action approach, feeding the grass while discouraging moss growth.
With an NPK of 5-0-8 and 9 % iron, it delivers colour, strength, and up to eight weeks of moss protection.

“Winter can be tough on lawns, but it doesn’t have to be the season of damage,” adds Chris McIlroy. “By feeding your lawn and keeping moss in check now, you’re setting yourself up for a healthier, greener spring.”

When to act

October – December: Apply Autumn/Winter Fertiliser to strengthen before frost.
January – March: Use Winter Feed & Moss Control to protect and maintain colour.
Year-round: Use spreaders for precision, for fertiliser, seed, or even grit salt in icy conditions.

Why it matters

A strong, nourished lawn over winter:

Prevents bare patches and moss invasion
Reduces disease risk and frost stress

Requires less renovation in spring
