I had a new lawn layed 3 years ago any tips for looking after it? There are large trees around the lawn which seem to be taking the moisture from the lawn? The lawn is patchy in places and after a long winter seems to have moss in patches?

There is now a variety of grass that was developed for shady places - it may help to reseed that part of the lawn.

Meanwhile, feeding regularly, Mowing frequently, and laying compost twice a year will prevent most problems with turf.

An afterthought - a lawncare company advised us that having your mower on a higher cut discourages moss. We tried it and it did.
