Winter Lawn Tips

Here are some handy tips to keep your lawn healthy during winter:

• Mowing: Raise the mower deck to allow for more sunlight & nutrients on the lawn. Mow less while the lawn is dormant - maybe every 3-4 weeks.
• Watering: Reduce the watering. Deep watering sessions rather than frequent light watering.
• Fertilising: Apply a winter-specific fertiliser. Look for higher potassium to strengthen roots and prepare the lawn for cold weather. Potassium helps lawns survive winter stress and recover in spring. 
• Aeration: Aerate/core the lawn in late winter to relieve compaction and improve drainage. 
• Weed Control: Address weeds using appropriate herbicides if necessary. 
• Pest Control: Monitor for pests and diseases and treat them as needed.
