Queensland: Your Autumn Lawn Seed Guide
Autumn is the perfect time to tackle those lawn patches, give your existing lawn a boost, or even start a brand-new lawn project! The key to success? Consistent watering during germination. This guide simplifies everything you need to know.
Watering for Success:
After seeding, frequent watering is essential. Keep the top 2-5cm of soil consistently damp (but not soggy!). Too dry, and germination suffers. Consistent moisture is key for healthy growth.

- South
- Drought Master Blend
- All Season Couch Blend
- All Season Kikuyu Blend
- Sun and Shade Blend
- All Winter Green Blend
Fertilising: Double the Impact!
Autumn is the ideal time for a double dose of fertiliser! Two applications will replenish vital nutrients, helping your lawn survive and thrive. Regular fertilising is crucial for healthy lawn maintenance. Apply fertiliser at a rate of 3kg per 100sqm.
Weed and Pest Control:
Protect your lawn from weeds and pests with appropriate herbicides and pre-emergents.
