Our Recommended Lawn Maintenance Tips
No matter which turf variety you have installed, a good maintenance program will help protect your investment and save you time and money in the long term.
Water your new turf daily, depending on weather conditions, until it is firmly rooted. Check the rooting by carefully lifting a corner of the turf after 10 – 14 days.
Your new lawn should be mowed within 10 to 14 days, depending on the season. The first mow should be a light trim, making sure not to scalp your new lawn.
Once your lawn is firmly established you can then mow it to a desirable height. This is also a good time to keep it maintained at this level for a frequent height.
Lawns require more mowing in the summer months and less as the temperature drops. This is important to keep in mind during the year as you will not need to mow your lawn as regularly in winter as you would in summer.
Your lawn, like all garden plants, needs watering to maintain a strong level of health. The amount of water will depend on the weather conditions and the time of the year.
We recommend you fertilise your lawn 3 times a year with good lawn food to maintain strong health. The recommended times to fertilise your lawn are in early spring, early summer and mid-autumn.
Always water your lawn immediately after fertilising. This is extremely important as it will help reduce the chance of burning the grass. The amount of water required is generally stated on the back of your fertiliser.
