Useful Tips

Spring and autumn are the best times to sow a new lawn. Consider a weed spray 2 – 3 months after establishment, with a suitable selective broadleaf weed spray (read directions thoroughly to ensure your weed spray is suitable to your seed blend). Sprays should be registered for turf.

It is best to remove clippings from your lawn when mowing, especially at establishment time, as clippings may smother the new lawn.

Watch for insect pests, an insecticide may be required if insect damage is observed. Consider a soil test to check for any nutrient deficiencies and pH levels to help create optimum conditions for establishment.

All herbicides and insecticides as mentioned above must be used in accordance with label instructions.

Ongoing Care

Mowing – never mow more than 1/3 of the lawn height in one mow.

If the lawn becomes long, reduce height gradually over time.

Mow regularly to encourage lawn density.

Fertilise every 2 - 3 months with a quality slow release fertiliser during the growing season.

Spray your lawn for weeds once a year.

It will be necessary to water lawns in dry summer months as this is when stress is observed with most lawn types.
