Your local lawncare provider in Fareham

Fareham boasts a rich history and diverse landscapes. Our lawncare services cover Fareham and its surrounding areas such as Titchfield, Whiteley, Portchester and Locks Heath, where we encounter a variety of soil types and climatic conditions.

Fareham’s soil composition is varied, influenced by alluvial deposits from nearby rivers. This results in a mix of clay soils, which are nutrient-rich but can suffer from poor drainage and compaction, and sandy loam soils, which offer good drainage but require frequent fertilisation to maintain nutrient levels.

Regular aeration is key to improving clay soils, with grass varieties like fine fescues thriving in these conditions, providing the soil is well-managed. With perennial ryegrass and tall fescue preferring sandy loam conditions.

We recognise the value our customers place on service continuity and therefore aim to send you the same qualified lawn technician for each treatment visit. Every time your technician visits, they will do the following…

  • Check in with you (if you are home) to see if you have any lawn concerns or questions
  • Clearly explain what they are planning to do that day
  • Carry out a lawn condition assessment to ensure all is in order
  • Examine the lawn for evidence of grub damage or disease
  • Apply your seasonal treatments
  • Offer any guidance or recommendations to help your lawn improvement
  • Take photos of your lawn so we can track changes over time
  • Treat your property with respect and leave things clean and tidy
  • Pet the dog or stroke the cat!

Lawn Care Tips for Fareham 

  • Regular aeration for clay soils helps reduce compaction and improve drainage.
  • Sandy loam soils benefit from controlled-release fertilisers to maintain nutrient levels.
  • Both soil types can benefit from mulching to improve water retention.

Professional lawn care in Fareham ensures these practices are carried out effectively, promoting healthy, lush lawns that can withstand local climate challenges.

Good service and polite. Very happy. Chaps name was Wesley.
Harry (and a mate) came yesterday to carry out the annual aeration of my lawns and to advise on overseeding. He was extremely helpful and efficient and I hope very much that he will be able to continue to carry out your services for me.
David & Wesley did a good job doing another annual scarifying lawn, overseeding, and tidying up.
Wesley did a great job of scarification and aeration, waste all bagged up and everything left neat and tidy, thanks
Thanks David, excellent clean up after scarification, always ready for a chat and never overtreats. Appreciate the care taken around our untypical flower-beds.
Many thanks to David from Shrekfeet on their most recent visit. Great advice from him reference keeping the lawn in tip top condition. Very polite and knowledgeable about what he is doing, what needs to be done and what we could do to improve what we are doing. This time he gave us advice about getting rid of the ants in the lawn and his advice was spot on, the ant's days are numbered. All in all a professional service from a really nice team...
David Fricker. Quick professional and polite. Happy with service.
It’s early days but so far we are very pleased with Shrekfeet. The politeness and knowledge of the technicians (Joshua, David and Wesley) is always impressive and the service is clear and organised. Leigh has been helpful with any queries and we are looking forward to more positive results soon
Very professional, knowledgeable and friendly technicians. Great to get a verbal and written report with a general plan of future treatments.
Excellent work to renovate our lawn following 4 months of builders materials being stacked on it.
Josh and Wes visited to do some routine treatments as well as some one-off work. They were friendly and respectful, and they got on with the work efficiently, leaving no mess at all. Looking forward to the next visit!
I have been using Shrekfeet fir a year now and am very pleased with the results and our operative Joshua is very polite and professional.
Excellent customer service from Dave and Wes.Always on time, professional and knowledgeable. Our grass has never been cared for so well. I highly commend Shrekfeet if your lawn needs a miracle!
Dealing with Lee has been excellent. Dave did our garden and we are very pleased with the efficiency. Look forward to see the results and the next visit. Thanks guys.
David and Leigh were prompt and professional. The treatments were carried out without fuss or mess. Looking forward to a much improved lawn this summer. 17/3/24
David Fricker provided excellent service today, as always: thank you.
No shreks feet but they have lawnmowers and stuff so that was cool I guess
When we came here 3 years ago the "lawn" was green with weed not grass. Ian gave us a very comprehensive guide as to what they could do both initially and then by regular visits. Since then it all looks splendidly grassy and we are very pleased. David is our regular technician and he is chatty, knowledgeable and seems to enjoy what he does. So thank you Shrekfeet.Recently had it scarified. David on his own had a busy afternoon and attended to it all diligently. We now wait to see the results. But this year can anyone really beat the moss ?
Josh was very personable, friendly and informative. He assessed our lawn and carried out some treatments that are showing results already. He gave us full information. All very good.
I love shrek’s feet on my lawn 🤑
Excellent work by our technician, Joshua, again today. The lawn is looking very luxurious and the number of weeds has markedly reduced. Good communication from Shrekfeet as to when they will be arriving to carry out a treatment and afterwards they always send a report. Very happy with their work.
David arrived as planned yesterday for a winter treatment. While he was here we discussed next steps in our campaign to rid the front lawn of some stubborn weeds. He was very helpful and courteous, so my thanks go to him not only for his work yesterday but also for his approach and attitude to his work and to me as a client.
David Fricker from Shrekfeet has transformed our lawns from a weed and moss riddled mess to beautiful green lushness. Very professional and courteous and always arrives as planned and leaves everything tidy. Really looking forward to getting the borders looking as good as the lawn! Thank you Shrekfeet
We have been using Shrekfeet for around 18 months now and would highly recommend them. Our lawn was laid early last year and since then Josh and Harry have kept it looking excellent. They also identified a case of red thread in the lawn this summer which was subsequently treated and cured. All in all a great service at a reasonable price.
Shrekfeet have been treating my lawn for the past 6 months and it is greatly improved. Josh has been very knowledgeable, giving advice on what is needed and addressing any concerns I may have. I'm confident that under his care the lawn will look the best it can despite having a young dog playing it on it all day!
I had my lawn treated by Shrekfeet. The technician, Harry, was very helpful and knowledgeable about my lawn. He applied weed control and nutrition a month ago and my lawn is looking greener and healthier. Not a weed in sight! I'm very pleased with the results and Harry's helpfulness.
We asked Shrekfeet to look at our lawn in March 2023 as bare patches were appearing across the lawn, it had been completely re-turfed just over a year ago. Harry visited our property and confirmed there was an infestation of leatherjackets and recommended treatment using nematodes. He also recommended a lawn maintenance plan to follow the treatment including regular watering, top dressing, weed control and nutrition. We asked Shrekfeet to carry out the maintenance throughout the year, the lawn has already recovered and looks as good as it was when it was first laid. Harry has been very helpful to give advice and answer any questions. We are very pleased with the results and help from Shrekfeet.
Chose Shrekfeet as a local company (to Chandlers Ford) to re-vitalise our lawn after 2 years of problems due to long dry spells and insufficient watering. Following the first treatment and their advice, this summer we actually had green lawn. Second treatment now completed (Scarifying, Aerating, reseeding and top dressing) and although the top dressing is hiding a lot of the grass, it looks neat, uniform and the scarification bits were left tidy, bagged ready for disposal.Dave was the operator both times, accompanied by Harry for the second visit and his explanation of the process was helpful.We're about to move house and will certainly be in touch to bring new house lawn up to scratch!
Harry polite and answers all questions
Shrekfeet provide excellent lawn care, very professional, knowledgeable and aways willing to give friendly advice. Josh is a great lawn technician who was patient to hear my concerns and provide solutions via simple explanations. Thanks
Just had our summer treatment carried out by Dave. We were impressed with the time Dave to explain in detail what he was about to do and the expected impact. I feel with Shrekfeet we are getting much better service than we had been getting with other lawn treatment companies and their staff actually care about the outcome and not just the process.
Dave came today - he was as polite, professional and efficient as always. Thank you!
Excellent service. Always very informative and helpful. Lawn has definitely seen an improvement since using Shrekfeet.
David tends to our lawn. It has never looked better!Knowledgeable, professional and always on time.Highly recommended.
We contacted Shrekfeet as our lawn was seriously in need of help! Ian contacted us quickly and talked us through the way they work and gave a break down of what we could expect. It was really helpful and clear.We joined the plan and got a visit within 10 days from Joshua for an initial lawn survey. He was great - polite and professional, and listened to what we needed. He certainly knew about lawns!The resulting report was clear and helpful, and we feel we will be in safe hands with Josh (and Shrekfeet) going forwards.Many thanks
I have recently changed to Shrekfeet as I was disappointed with my previous lawn-care company. I was impressed by the technician who gave a knowledgable and thorough initial survey identifying several problems. David has now returned to treat it by scarifying, aerating and giving it an appropriate treatment. I am confident that in a few weeks I will have a green, lush lawn.
I’ve had three visits from a young man called Harry now and I’ve been very pleased with the service so far. There has already been a great improvement in the lawn. All questions I’ve had have been answered and they have been very helpful whenever I have called them.
Shrekfeet have been treating my lawn for just over a year now. I have seen a huge improvement in the quality and health of the grass. My lawn gets serviced regularly by Harry, who has been very thorough when explaining his processes and what’s best for the lawn. I have found this incredibly helpful as I now have a better understanding of how to care for the grass between the visits from Shrekfeet. Overall I have found this company to be very reliable and I will continue to use them in the future.
Chuffed to bits with the services provided by Shrekfeet. Efficient, reliable & quick to respond to enquiries, the communication via email is excellent. Thanks lots!
The advice given by Shrekfeet on lawncare is very good, both as the seasons pass and prior to visits by the team.The visits themselves are very prompt and thorough. The results speak for themselves: verdant lawns, even after the extreme temperatures of last summer.Josh, the colleague who usually visits us, is courteous and very correct.I have no hesitation in recommending Shrekfeet to prospective customers.
Great professional service, the lads that came to my home were very professional, friendly & polite, a good asset to the company. Well done lads
Just had my spring nutrition treatment. Knowledgeable team, efficient and friendly. My lawn looks so much better since they started helping me. Five stars all round!
Good good turf, perfect condition, delivered by a friendly pair of gentlemen
The difference with this company is they are really interested and want to make it work for you. Huge knowledge and professional service. Prompt, hard working and tidied up well after aeration and scarification. Highly recommended.
Always business-like, friendly and polite. Thank you.
Excellent service delivered in a pleasant and professional manner, and time always made for any specific questions or advice you may need.
Shrekfeet lawn services are fantastic.We have used Shekfeet for some years now to look after our lawn. It is only a small lawn but they are happy to look after it for us. They keep us informed and explain in very helpful emails, the science of caring for lawns and why they give their various dressings and treatments when they do. The result is that our lawn changed from being unattractive, with moss,weeds and bald patches, to being a green and lush focal point. We couldn't have done this ourselves, nor do we have the knowledge or time. I can't rate Ian and his team highly enough for both the service they give, and the polite and friendly manner they show.
Lee has a very professional approach to lawn care. He has a very pleasant manner and is happy to give advice.

Why choose us?

Time is money.

Saving time is one of the most compelling reasons to hire us to take care of your garden in Fareham. As a homeowner, you must spend at least a couple hours each week on lawn maintenance. This time may be better spent with your family, on a hobby, or just not performing lawn maintenance.

Less expensive

Lawn care services are not cheap, but they are less costly than doing it yourself. Many Fareham homeowners, for example, do not assess the worth of their time. When you include in all of the expenses associated with equipment, you’ll discover that you’re losing money on lawn care every year.

Lawn treatments tailored to each season

Autumn

As days begin to shorten the needs of your lawn still need to be addressed. At this time of year our focus is on soil health and moss prevention.

Grass starts to grow sooner than most people realise. Without early nutrition, grass can become stressed and suffer from disease.

  • No loss – controlled release nutrition won’t create environmental issues

As days begin to warm, weeds can become an issue in untreated lawns. Our Spring treatment addresses lawn weed issues.

  • Safe weed control – for you, your family, your pets and wildlife
  • Safe for bees too – our plant control products are guaranteed safe for insects
  • Safe application – we always follow industry best-practice guidance
  • Effective – we will control even the most challenging weeds
