With the weather warming up more and more as the days go on, it is incredibly important to keep a keen eye out for lawn grubs in your yard. The hot weather is the perfect time for the grubs to invade and ruin your beautiful lawn, so look out for these early signs so you can fix the problem before it arrives.
So, you’re thinking about laying some turf during the cooler months… but aren’t sure if it’s the right thing to do. Is it a good time of year? Is it too cold? Will the lawn like the weather? All these questions, plus many more, are asked by our customers all year round and we are here to tell you, once and for all.
The lawns of Australia have seen many things – from great games of backyard cricket to BBQs that last late into the evening, your backyard has played host to some memorable (and perhaps not so memorable) happenings in your life. But whether you are playing a game of fetch with your furry best friend or celebrating a family milestone, your lawn deserves a toast or three as a place of comfort and togetherness for you and those around you.
Though the warm weather in Queensland can mean some lovely summer days, it can also mean something a little pesky for your lawn – summer grass weeds.
If you did a hearty fertilise of your lawn in spring, it is likely due for another application. A majority of the common, slow release fertilisers will provide nutrients for your lawn for up to 12 weeks – this means that if you fertilised in early – mid spring, around this time is a great top-up choice.
With the Queensland summer well and truly upon us, the temperatures (and humidity levels) generally sit pretty high for weeks on end – and a lot of us are lucky enough to be able to escape to an air-conditioned space when it truly gets unbearable. But, what about your lawn?
There are a few things you can do to make the path of recovery for your lawn both quicker and easier, as most warm season lawns will spread laterally, thicken up and recover with some care and attention – these include couch, zoysia and buffalo varieties.
So, you’ve booked your Christmas holidays, you’ve got your bags packed and you’re more than ready to have a break away from what 2020 has thrown at you. But have you considered your lawn while you are away?
If you were in a perfect world, you would have all the time you needed to do almost anything – Christmas shop when you wanted, clean the house before the relatives arrive and tend to your lawn and have it looking its best for when all the festivities begin. But, as we all know, unfortunately there aren’t 27 hours in the day and things aren’t always as organised, nor as planned as we would like. So, what can you do to get your lawn looking great in a hurry?
