    Straightforward treatment prices

    Each treatment has a different job. We assess your lawn first, then confirm the area, preparation and total before you book.

    Full-lawn scarification

    £1.25 / m²

    Standalone minimum £95

    One standard pass with our scarifier to remove accumulated thatch and moss. Targeted bare-spot scarification is included where needed in the £190 starting renovation package. Heavy thatch, extra passes and off-site waste removal are priced separately.

    Lawn aeration

    £1.80 / m²

    Hand aeration under 100m² · powered from £0.85/m² for 100m²+

    Standalone minimum £125

    Based on 2.5 hours to hand-aerate 70m². Lawns under 100m² are hand-aerated. For larger lawns, powered aeration is available; the aerator hire and delivery are itemised in your confirmed quote.

    Overseeding

    £0.65 / m²

    Standalone minimum £60

    Grass seed and spreading included over a suitably prepared lawn. Scarification, aeration and other preparation are separate services.

    Full-lawn light topdressing

    £2.00 / m²

    Standalone minimum £120

    Suitable screened topsoil supplied and spread at approximately 5mm across the full agreed lawn area. The £190 starting renovation package uses topsoil only on bare or damaged areas. Full-lawn topdressing is an additional service; deeper repairs and levelling are individually quoted.

    Guide rates are for standard work on accessible lawns up to 300m². The minimum shown is for that service booked on its own; combined work receives one written quote. For powered aeration on lawns of 100m² or more, aerator hire and delivery are itemised in the confirmed quote. Additional scarifier passes, difficult access and off-site waste removal are agreed separately. Larger or more extensive jobs are individually quoted. No guide price is a confirmed quote.

    What causes thin or bare patches?

    Wear, shade, compaction and damaged areas can all affect coverage. We assess the cause before recommending overseeding or more extensive renovation.

    Standalone overseeding: Request a quote

    The quote depends on lawn size, preparation, lawn condition, seed required and access. Send photos of the whole lawn and thin areas so the work can be assessed.

    Targeted topsoil and repairs

    Topsoil is applied where needed to help prepare bare or damaged areas for new grass seed.

    Full-lawn topdressing and whole-garden levelling are separate work, not included in the starting renovation package.

    Renovation for a tired lawn

    Give a tired or patchy lawn a helping hand with aeration, overseeding and targeted repairs. A typical small-lawn renovation includes aeration and overseeding across the whole lawn, scarification where needed and topsoil applied to bare or damaged areas. Grass seed and topsoil are included in your agreed quote.

    Around 70m²: from £190. Around 90m²: approximately £245 for a similar treatment. Larger lawns or more extensive renovation: individually quoted.

    Guide prices depend on lawn condition, access and the work required. Full-lawn scarification, full-lawn topdressing and additional materials are priced separately where needed. Send us a few photos and your approximate lawn size for a confirmed quote.

    Dog-damaged lawns

    We can help repair bare and worn areas caused by dogs. Continued wear or urine damage can affect new growth, so protecting recovering areas is important.

    Aftercare and enquiries

    Watering and protecting new growth are important. We provide aftercare advice for the treatment, including watering, keeping people and pets off recovering areas and when to resume mowing. Establishment depends on conditions and ongoing care; results and germination dates are not guaranteed.

    Send your approximate lawn size, postcode, a few photos of the whole lawn and damaged areas, and information about access. Use the enquiry form and email photos to info.elawncare@gmail.com. We assess the condition and confirm the scope and price before work is agreed.
