September’s Rain Is the Free Fix Every Lawn Needs
September’s Rain Is the Free Fix Every Lawn Needs: The Met Office has confirmed that the UK just endured its hottest summer on record, leaving lawns across the country scorched, brittle, and brown. But experts at Lawnsmith say September’s shift to cooler nights and steady showers is the perfect reset button for tired turf.
Jonathan Davis, Lawn Specialist at Lawnsmith, explains: “Lawns that have struggled through heatwaves and hosepipe bans now have the best chance of recovery. September provides warm soil for grass seed to germinate, while increased rainfall means less reliance on watering. It is the most forgiving month of the year for lawn care.”

Homeowners are being urged to act quickly and make use of this natural “wet reset.” Davis recommends overseeding bare patches, aerating compacted areas, and applying an autumn fertiliser to build stronger roots.
“This is nature lending a helping hand,” adds Davis. “If you take action now, you will transform a dry, lifeless lawn into a healthy green space by next spring.”
