REMEMBER! "Always allow enough time for seed germination & establishment before a change of season".
For all our recommendations use a Starter Fertiliser to give your new lawn the best possible start.
VICTORIA:
It’s often a slower start to the warmer season in Victoria. Buy your bulk lawn seed and wait until there’s more warmth in the soil following winter. In Victoria you can choose Warm or Cool season grasses. If you choose a cool season mix ensure you plant it with enough time for it to establish before the hot summer weather arrives, otherwise the young plant will struggle. If you want to sow a warm season grass, wait until the summer weather has arrived to sow so that they are germinating at the optimum time. Warm season grasses need very warm soil to take off.

QUEENSLAND:
In cooler, hillier regions of Queensland it's possible to sow cool season grasses. Choose a warm season grass like a couch or kikuyu if you're north of Brisbane and have a mostly hot climate year round. These grasses will cope with the consistently warm/hot weather and still look green. CLICK HERE TO VIEW QUEENSLAND RECOMMENDATIONS.
NSW/ACT:
In the warmer northern areas of the state choose a warm season grass that can tolerate consistent hot temperatures. Couchgrasses and Kikuyu will be the ticket. Further south you can use a cool season variety or a blend of the two. CLICK HERE TO VIEW NSW/ACT RECOMMENDATIONS.
SOUTH AUSTRALIA:
