LAWN SOWING

  • When is the best time to sow lawn seed in Australia?

    Ideally Spring and Autumn are better times because temperatures are more moderate, but you can sow at any time of the year.  Bear in mind that watering requirements increase in hotter locations and seasons and in Australian states with cold winters, germination will be slower.  Look at our Seasonal Lawn Guide for more specific information.  

  • What Seed should I buy?

    • Can I Buy Buffalo Seed? Buffalo seed is not available in seed form. The closest match is Turbocote Kikuyu. 

  • How Much Seed Should I Buy?

    It will vary depending on the seed. Calculate the area of your lawn and then the recommended sowing rate specified with each product e.g. 3 kg per 100m2 .

  • Do I need Starter Fertiliser?

    We recommend Starter Fertiliser with all lawn seed sowing, including overseeding. We have KickStart Starter Fertiliser which has the right analysis for root establishment and germination. Buy it with your seed for better results.

    Our Seed ranges have an indication of the germination time in optimum temperatures. In optimum temperatures. In optimal temperatures, Ryegrass germinates in 7–10 days, while Couch and Kikuyu take 10–15 days. Remember, warmth is essential for germination, and this will vary when nighttime temperatures are lower in Spring and Autumn.

    As a rough guide:

    • cool-season grasses prefer 15–25°C

    • warm-season grasses need 22–32°C.

  • Can I grow Buffalo grass from seed in Australia?

    No, Buffalo grass is not available in seed form. The closest alternative is Kikuyu seed, such as 100% Turbocote Kikuyu, which provides similar coverage and resilience.

  • How often should I water my lawn in summer?

    • Cool-season lawns (e.g., Ryegrass): Water deeply 2–3 times per week.

    • Warm-season lawns (e.g., Couch, Kikuyu, Buffalo): Water deeply once per week, or more in extreme heat. Always water early in the morning to reduce evaporation.

  • How do I overseed an existing lawn?

    • Mow the lawn closely.

    • Sow using quality seed. See our suggested seed blends.

LAWN MAINTENANCE

  • What’s the best way to mow a new lawn?

    When mowing a NEW LAWN for the first time it's important to allow good establishment of the grass. Allow a little more length on a new lawn.  Mow more frequently to begin with. Let your new lawn grow to about 50mm high before the first cut. Trim lightly and gradually lower the mower blade to 25–30mm. Avoid cutting more than one-third of the blade at once.

  • What are the tips in mowing my lawn?

    Mow regularly, trying not to remove more than a third of growth at any time. As warmer months arrive, gradually raise the height of the blades to ensure that enough moisture is left in the leaf to survive tougher conditions.

  • How often should I water my lawn in summer?

    All lawns need water in dry periods.

    • General rule: Deep watering is better than frequent light sprinkling.

    • Cool-season lawns: 2–3 deep waterings per week in summer.

    • Warm-season grasses: 1+ deep watering per week, depending on heat.

    • New seed: When sowing new lawn seed the soil needs to stay damp continually for best germination and establishment. This can mean watering multiple times a day for the initial few weeks. 

  • How do I treat weeds and pests in my lawn?

    Match your lawn type the the appropriate Herbicide using our Chemicals Selection page.

    Read all instructions thoroughly to ensure you apply correctly.

  • How do I control lawn grubs in Australia?

    The most effective treatment is Acelepryn, which protects against grubs and common lawn pests without harming beneficial insects.
