ESSENTIAL SPRING LAWN CARE TIPS FOR QUEENSLAND: 

To ensure your lawn thrives this spring, follow these crucial steps:

1. Fertilise TWICE in Spring: This is non-negotiable for a healthy Queensland lawn. Fertilising in early and late spring provides the necessary nutrients for strong growth, vibrant colour, and improved resilience. SHOP FERTILISERS Consider an Earthway Spreader for easy and even application.
2. Deal with Weeds & Pests Proactively:
   • Pests: Apply Acelepryn now to prevent destructive pests from taking hold. This is especially important as pest activity increases with the warmer weather.
   • Weeds: Tackle weeds that emerged over winter. Choose a herbicide from our range.
3. Improve Soil Health:
   • Wetting Agents: Queensland soils, particularly those compacted by heavy rains or traffic, can benefit from a granular wetting agent like "Wett Up". This improves water penetration and retention, making your watering more effective.
4. Consider Lawn Alternatives:
   • Dichondra: If you're looking for a low-maintenance lawn alternative, Dichondra is an excellent choice, offering a lush, carpet-like appearance.
