Maintaining Your Lawn

The maintenance of an attractive, healthy lawn begins with an understanding of the growth pattern, and the knowledge that good year-round maintenance will forestall its deterioration.




 

Water & Maintenance

All lawns need light, air, sun, water and fertilizer to grow and flourish.
Water every day for at least 2 weeks to keep soil moist at a minimum of 2cm deep.
Fertilize every 4 - 6 weeks with 3:1:5/LAN to promote leaf growth and color (+/- 5kg per 100m2)
Fertilize every 4 – 6 weeks with super phosphate to promote root growth ( +/- 5kg per 100m2)
