Spring: Awakening Your Lawn
As spring unfolds, it’s the perfect time to kickstart your lawn’s growth. Begin by aerating the soil to enhance water and nutrient absorption. Choose a high-quality fertilizer to provide the necessary nutrients, and consider overseeding to fill in any sparse areas. Regular mowing at the correct height promotes a thick and healthy turf.
Summer: Keeping Cool Under the Sun
The summer months in Brisbane can bring challenges such as heat stress and increased water requirements. Adjust your watering schedule to ensure your lawn receives adequate hydration, and mow in the early morning or late evening to avoid the heat of the day. Applying a suitable summer fertilizer will help your turf withstand the warm weather and maintain its lush green color.
Autumn: Preparing for the Seasonal Shift
As temperatures cool down in autumn, focus on removing fallen leaves and debris to prevent matting and diseases. This is also an excellent time for core aeration to improve soil aeration and drainage. Continue mowing as needed, gradually lowering the cutting height to prepare your lawn for the winter months.
Winter: Winterising Your Turf
Winter in Brisbane is generally mild, but it’s essential to adjust your lawn care routine. While growth may slow down, continue regular mowing at a higher setting. Keep an eye on potential pest issues and address them promptly. Avoid heavy foot traffic during wet periods to prevent compaction.
Maintaining a lush and thriving lawn requires attention to seasonal changes. By following our seasonal turf care guide, you’ll be better prepared to address the specific needs of your lawn throughout the year.
