Gardenmakers Guide to a Lush Lawn

Gardenmakers Guide to a Lush Lawn

Is your lawn looking a little worse for wear after winter? Spring into action this season and bring your backyard back to life...think of it like spring cleaning your yard. With our quick tips and product recommendations we'll help you to transform your tired patch into a lush lawn.

Spring Cleaning Your Lawn:

  1. Aerate: Poke holes in your lawn with a garden fork to improve drainage and airflow.
  2. Rake: Remove dead grass, leaves, and debris with an Xcel Rake 14T or try the Truper Leaf Plastic Head Rake for effortless leaf removal.
  3. Topdress: Fill in any dips or low spots with Lawn Topdressing Mix for a level playing field (or should we say, lounging!).
  4. Weed Control: Target those pesky weeds with a product like RoundUp for Lawns, Triumph Gold Herbicide, NZLA Etho
  5. Moss Control: Moss loves damp conditions. Fight back with Lawn Moss Control Sulphate of Iron for a greener, moss-free lawn.

Feed Your Lawn for Lushness

Fertilise
Nourish your lawn with a slow-release fertiliser for long-lasting results CLS Slow Release Lawn Fertiliser 2.5kg

If your lawn is looking patchy, consider overseeding with Specialty Lawn Seed Legacy or Traditional. Choose a seed option to suit your yard, the aspect and how fine or hardy you may want your lawn.

Maintaining Your Masterpiece

Watering
Water deeply and infrequently, especially during hot summer months. Truper Oscillating Sprinkler for even and efficient watering.

Mowing
Mow regularly at the recommended height for your grass type. A sharp mower blade is key for a clean cut.
