What Does a Healthy Lawn Actually Look Like? A Homeowner’s Guide

It’s not just about colour. A truly healthy lawn in Chichester or anywhere in West Sussex shows specific signs that indicate good soil, proper care, and resilience to stress.

Signs of a Healthy Lawn:

• – Rich green colour (without yellowing or streaks)
• – Dense, even grass coverage
• – Springs back when walked on
• – Minimal weeds or moss
• – No standing water or dry patches

Common Misconceptions:

• – Bright green ≠ healthy (can be overfed or shallow-rooted)
• – Dead patches aren’t always from pets, they can signal soil issues

How to Maintain That Health:

• – Mow regularly with sharp blades
• – Feed seasonally with the right nutrients
• – Scarify, aerate, and overseed as needed
• – Monitor for pests and drainage problems
