Lush, neatly trimmed lawns are a traditional favourite – ideal for setting off colourful borders, great for kids to play on and for relaxing outdoors over the summer. But to keep this type of lawn looking its best takes some time and effort, especially through spring and summer. 
 
Many people prefer a more relaxed approach, allowing wildflowers to flourish among the grass. And if that’s the case, you can take a break from mowing in late spring and enjoy the wildflowers that appear and the pollinating insects and other biodiversity they attract. Spring is also a good time to create a new wildflower meadow or boost the diversity of your existing lawn. 

And even regularly mown lawns offer a habitat for many invertebrates and valuable soil-life, especially when the grass is lush, green and thriving. So it’s well worth looking after your lawn, whatever style you have, to ensure it’s in great condition.
