Winter has arrived, but that doesn't mean your lawn maintenance should go into hibernation. While growth slows down across most of Australia, the colder months are a critical time for protection, weed prevention, and strategic sowing.
ESSENTIAL WINTER LAWN MAINTENANCE TIPS
- Mowing Heights: Raise your mower blades. Longer leaf blades allow for more photosynthesis during shorter, cloudier days.
- Watering: Reduce frequency as rain increases and days cool.
- Drainage: Keep an eye on boggy areas. Soil compaction is common in winter, consider aerating if your lawn feels waterlogged.
- Overseeding /New Lawns: Use our tips below for choosing the right seed in winter.
YOUR WINTER LAWN TO-DO LIST
1. Strategic Fertilising: If your grass is still showing signs of life, give it a boost. Use Nitro Green Iron Boost Fertiliser. It’s designed to work in low temperatures, delivering deep green colour.
2. Pest Protection: Don't let grubs ruin your spring. Apply Acelepryn now to provide long term protection.
3. The "All in One" problem solver: If you have a Couch, Kikuyu, or Buffalo lawn, Echelon Duo is a winter essential. It controls Wintergrass and pests while providing a light fertiliser treatment.
4. Weed Warfare: Use Poachek to stop Wintergrass while it’s actively growing. For existing broadleaf weeds, Bow & Arrow or Contra M Duo are the professional's choice for a clean kill without harming your turf.
