In this guide, we’ll share five essential tips to maintain a healthy, vibrant lawn that will make your outdoor space the envy of your neigbours. It does require a little bit of work, but we promise it will be worth it!

Water Wisely - Watering is critical in spring, especially for new turf.

- Water deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root growth.
- Early morning or late evening is best as it reduces evaporation.

Mow Smartly - Regular mowing keeps your lawn looking neat and encourages healthy growth and turf density.

- Adjust your mower height to avoid cutting too short.
- Aim to remove no more than one-third of the grass blade in a single mow.
- Keep your mower blades sharp to ensure clean cuts.- Remove grass clippings from your lawn to allow air and sunlight in.

Feed and Fertilise - Spring is an excellent time to feed your lawn and give it a little boost after winter

- Use a balanced, slow-release fertiliser to promote steady growth.
- There are many off the shelf products available – choose a seasonal fertiliser, follow the instructions and you can’t go wrong.

Control Weeds - Weeds compete with your grass for nutrients, water, and sunlight. The less, the better!

- Maintain a healthy lawn, as dense grass naturally crowds out weeds.
- Spot-treat weeds as they appear with an appropriate herbicide or pull them out.

Areate and Overseed - Spring is ideal for aeration and overseeding.

- Aerate compacted soil to improve water, air, and nutrient flow.
- Overseed bare or thin areas to create a uniform, dense lawn.
 
A little care goes a long way in ensuring your lawn looks its best this spring. If you complete these simple tasks, you’ll enjoy a lush, healthy lawn that’s ready for summer fun.
