It’s always a good time to start thinking about lawn maintenance. The backyard is like an extension of the home, another playroom for the children and a family entertaining space.
Mow: Try and keep your lawn at an even level and desired height by mowing regularly. Your lawn will need to be mown more often in the warmer months.
Top Dressing: This is best done during the Spring months when your lawn is growing quickly. Make sure that your lawn has been mown recently to allow the top dressing to penetrate.
Feed and fertilise: Use a good quality fertiliser on your lawn at least every two months. In the cooler months, switch to a Winter fertiliser. Do not overfeed your lawn with fertiliser- it will cause more damage than good. Regularly fertilising is far more beneficial that using too much at once.
Water: Just like plants and flowers, your lawn needs water too. The amount of times you need to water your lawn depends on the weather. In warmer months, it’s best to water your lawn in the morning to avoid evaporation and water loss during the day. Too much water on your lawn can be equally as damaging as the roots of the grass can become weakened. Always water your lawn after you have fertilised as this will prevent the grass from burning.
Aerate: Lawns are there to be played on and over time, the grass and soil can become compacted. Avoid this by aerating your lawn every few years.
Thatch Removal: Hire a de-thatcher to remove any build of thatch, or dead grass, on your lawn.
