Your Autumn Lawn - Tips for Autumn Lawn Care
YOUR AUTUMN LAWN CARE
Autumn in Australia means a break from the extreme heat and time to enjoy the lawn with cooler days and evenings. It's also a great time to complete a few simple lawn jobs to get it in tip top shape.
Here is what you need to do this Autumn:
Established lawns need fertilising twice in Autumn. Complete this once at the start of autumn and repeat 6-8 weeks later. You can read our Fertilising Tips here.
Fertilise with a high analysis product like our Landscape Range All Season Reno Fertiliser. It’s high in Nitrogen for a great boost in colour, with results you’ll see in just a few days. It also contains higher Potassium levels for strong roots and the ability to fend of disease.
Top dressing your lawn is easy and effective in stimulating new growth. Apply a mixture (usually made up of peat loam and sand) over your lawn. Top dressing stimulates new shoots, promotes runners and encourages denser growth of grass.
Aerate or spike your lawn in Autumn with a fork. It’s simple and easy to do and will improve soil drainage and stimulate the growth of new roots. Push the fork down with 30cm spaces allowing water and nutrients to enter the roots quickly and more effectively.
Autumn is the perfect time to Overseed your lawn to repair any worn patches. Check our tips for Overseeding your lawn.
