Preparing Your Lawn for Autumn
Preparing Your Lawn for Autumn: Feed, Repair and Protect
After a dry, hot summer, early autumn is the moment to rebuild lawn strength before winter arrives. Warmer soil and cooler air help roots grow, making now the best time to feed, repair and protect your grass. Viano Autumn Lawn Treatment delivers exactly that: an organic‑based, long‑lasting fertiliser that greens, thickens and strengthens the sward for up to 100 days.
Why choose Viano Autumn Lawn Treatment?
Formulated at 6‑2.6‑13.3 (+2MgO) with iron and beneficial bacteria, this treatment is built for autumn maintenance, winter defence and spring health. The added Humifirst supports deeper rooting, while magnesium and iron promote a richer, healthier green. High potash content delivers indirect action against moss, helping the grass out‑compete it as conditions cool. A 10 kg bag covers approximately 200 m², making it ideal for most Irish gardens.
How it works
Autumn Lawn Treatment provides steady nutrition to maintain colour and density while encouraging strong root development — the key to winter resilience. The fertiliser’s blend improves nutrient uptake under stress and prepares the lawn to cope with waterlogging, snow and scarification, giving you a healthier start next spring.
Sustainable credentials
Behind the product is Viano’s eco‑first approach. Production is powered by more than 2,300 solar panels, generating enough green electricity to meet on‑site needs and reducing CO₂ emissions — part of a broader programme that includes recyclable packaging and careful raw‑material selection. Many Viano lawncare products also carry RHS endorsement, a useful marker of performance and environmental standards.
When and how to apply
Apply during active growth in early to mid‑autumn, ideally when the soil temperature is above 12 °C. Even coverage matters: use a rotary or drop spreader on a calm, dry day and brush any stray granules off hard surfaces. If rain isn’t due within a few days, lightly water to activate the granules.
Quick checklist
- Mow first and remove clippings so granules reach the soil.
- Spread evenly; 10 kg treats ~200 m² (check your lawn size).
- Avoid drought or frost; feed when grass is actively growing.
Bio‑Lime (pH correction): If your soil is sour, a light application of Bio‑Lime in autumn helps reduce acidity, creating better conditions for nutrient uptake and a greener lawn. It contains beneficial bacteria and is easy to spread.
Recovery (after drought or scarification): Where summer stress left thin patches, Recovery is a 100% organic follow‑on feed formulated for stressed lawns — ideal after drought or scarification to rebuild density and resilience.
Lawn Boost (extra colour and vigour): For a stronger green and improved drought tolerance, Lawn Boost supplies organo‑mineral nutrition with magnesium and iron for robust growth.
Results to expect
Within weeks you should notice deeper colour and a thicker sward as magnesium and iron take effect, followed by sturdier rooting and improved wear tolerance through winter. Come spring, the lawn responds faster with fewer bare patches — the payoff for feeding now, while the soil is still warm.
