Season Starter Treatment

The Season Starter Treatment is applied to give lawns a kick start following the hard winter months. It is uniquely designed for specific grass growing conditions from February to April.

What is the Season Starter Treatment?

The Season Starter Treatment is an application of granular fertiliser that is developed to work in the cooler months. The fertiliser is part fast-release to encourage the grass to begin new growth and part controlled-release to provide the nutrients needed to promote green-up and health over the following 2-3 months.

New customers should see a noticeable visual difference in their lawn just a few weeks after the first application! Continuing thereafter with the 5 annual Basic treatments will ensure the grass remains healthy and strong.

The Season Starter Treatment is included in these packages

How does our Season Starter Treatment work?

The Season Starter granular fertiliser is partially coated to provide a controlled release and is specifically designed to encourage a balanced growth at the beginning of the growing season and will sustain turf health. This fertiliser is also selected for its quick response in cooler conditions common during February to April.

The Season Starter fertiliser formulation comprises of:

  • Nitrogen to encourage growth and improve colour
  • Potassium and macro-nutrients to encourage overall plant health and root development
  • Magnesium to improve turf colour and health

If there is rainfall during or after the application, this will aid in commencing the breakdown of the fertiliser, causing a faster release of nutrients into your lawn.

Summary

When?  Early Spring from February - April is the perfect time for your Season Starter Treatment

What?  Partially coated granular controlled release fertiliser.

Why?  Boosts growth, strengthens turf, improves colour and health.

What our customers say about us

Top job TopGrass

Another 5 stars from me. Paul and Mark are likely the most knowledgeable people I have met when it comes to all things grass. Nothing is too much trouble and it is good they have the time to explain exactly what is happening and what they are doing about it. Aeration today - ready for the spring treatment next week. Thanks again. Top job TopGrass.

Very helpful and provided me with some good advice to treat some rather bald areas in the lawn

Not always around when the guys come to treat the lawn for us but today met Paul who arrived to put down a spring feed. Had a very good chat with him and he was very helpful and provided me with some good advice to treat some rather bald areas in the lawn. Thank you very much!

My north facing lawn was a sad sight for many years until I began using TopGrass!

My north facing lawn was a sad sight for many years until I began using TopGrass but now after a few years of treatment it's looking good. Joe has been very supportive and knowledgeable on recent visits and is a good ambassador for the firm.

FAQ's

Most customers—especially those new to TopGrass—notice a visible improvement in lawn colour and density within a few weeks of application. The treatment helps the grass green up faster, fill in patchy areas, and develop a more uniform appearance. Continued treatments throughout the year build on this foundation for long-term lawn health.

Yes, rain is actually beneficial. Moisture helps the fertiliser granules break down and release nutrients into the soil more efficiently. There’s no need to worry if it rains shortly after application—in fact, it can enhance the treatment’s effectiveness.

It promotes early growth, enhances turf colour, and strengthens overall lawn health. The fertiliser contains:

  • Nitrogen for vibrant growth and colour
  • Potassium and macro-nutrients for root development
  • Magnesium to improve turf health and appearance

Winter can leave lawns thin, pale, and nutrient-depleted. This treatment replenishes essential nutrients, stimulates root activity, and encourages fresh growth—helping your lawn bounce back with improved colour and density.

The Season Starter Treatment is a part of our Annual Lawn Care Programme, which means that it is included in all of our packages as standard. Routine treatments help to ensure the health and quality of your lawn!
