LAWN SOWING TIPS

As the warmth builds across Western Australia, it's the perfect time to give your lawn the attention it deserves! As temperatures start to consistently warm up, it's the ideal time to sow All Season Blends or 100% Couch/Kikuyu when it's consistently hot. This season offers a prime opportunity for new growth, recovery from winter dormancy, and building resilience for the hotter months ahead. Remember to watch your watering as it heats up!

ESSENTIAL SPRING LAWN CARE TIPS FOR VICTORIA: 

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

1. Fertilise TWICE in Spring: This is non-negotiable for a healthy WA lawn! Fertilising in early and late spring provides the necessary nutrients for strong growth, vibrant color, and improved resilience. 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. For Buffalo lawns, use Bow and Arrow, a highly effective herbicide. For cool season lawns, Ravage is an excellent choice. Choose a herbicide from our range.
3. 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.
4. Mowing Height:
   
   • Gradually lower your mowing height as spring progresses, but avoid scalping. Taller grass can shade out weeds and help retain moisture.
