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
