🌱 How to Get the Best Lawn This Summer: Smart Lawn Care Tips for UK Gardens

A stunning lawn is more than just a patch of grass – it’s the centrepiece of your outdoor space. As we head into the warmer months, now is the perfect time to give your lawn the attention it needs to thrive. In the UK, spring is the critical season for laying the groundwork for a healthy, green summer lawn. And with modern technology like robot lawn mowers and intelligent treatments, it’s never been easier to get professional results – without the effort.

At The Robot Mower, we help homeowners across the UK take lawn care to the next level with automated mowing and robot-compatible lawn treatments designed specifically for British grass.

Let’s break down how to get your best lawn ever, starting this spring.

1. Start with a Spring Clean-Up

Your lawn’s health begins before the first cut. After a long, wet UK winter, most lawns suffer from compaction, moss buildup, and patchy growth. Here’s what to tackle in early spring:

• Rake up debris like fallen leaves and twigs to let light and air reach the soil.
• Scarify lightly to remove moss and thatch, which can suffocate grass roots.
• Aerate compacted areas, especially if your garden has heavy clay soil, using a fork or aeration tool.

These steps improve drainage and root development—crucial for a resilient summer lawn.

2. Feed the Lawn with Spring Fertiliser

As temperatures rise in March and April, your grass begins to grow again. This is the ideal time to apply a spring lawn fertiliser with higher nitrogen content to boost leaf growth and colour.

💡 Pro tip: Use treatments compatible with robot lawn mowers – they won’t clog or damage the mower, and they deliver consistent, gradual results.

At The Robot Mower, we offer robot-friendly lawn treatments tailored to UK conditions—no guesswork, just results.

3. Mow Little and Often – The Robot Mower Advantage

Traditional lawn mowing can be hit or miss – especially when it rains for three weeks straight (thanks, British weather!). That’s where robot lawn mowers shine.

• Daily micro-cuts encourage thick, carpet-like grass.
• Mulching action returns nutrients directly into the soil, reducing the need for added fertilisers.
• Low noise and energy-efficient, they work day or night, rain or shine.

Our most popular models, like the Segway Navimow iSeries 108E or Mammotion Luba 2, are perfect for UK gardens of all shapes and sizes. Check out our robot mower range to find the perfect match for your garden.

4. Watering Wisely

UK lawns usually get enough rain in spring, but if there’s a dry spell in late May or early June, deep watering is usually better than daily light watering (soil-type dependent). This encourages roots to grow deeper and builds drought resistance.

Set your robot mower to avoid mowing right after watering – many models can be programmed or paused remotely via app.

5. Edge and Patch for a Professional Finish

Robot mowers handle the bulk of the work, but for that “Chelsea Flower Show” finish, give your lawn edges a tidy trim. You should also:

• Reseed thin areas with a UK-specific grass seed blend.
• Treat stubborn weeds early.
