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.

LAWN MAINTENANCE

  • When should I first mow my newly sown 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 best tips for 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.
