Seasonal Lawn Care in Australia

Summer (December – February)

• Mow regularly, keeping blades slightly higher to protect against heat stress.
• Water deeply 2–3 times a week, early in the morning.
• Apply Surge to support recovery and stimulate leaf growth.
• Use Soak to maximise water absorption and reduce runoff.

Autumn (March – May)

• Aerate compacted soil to help oxygen and nutrients reach the roots.
• Overseed any bare patches for thicker coverage.
• Apply Vital and Base to strengthen roots before winter.
• Fertilise with a slow-release product to prepare for dormancy.

Winter (June – August)

• Reduce mowing frequency; only mow when the grass is actively growing.
• Avoid overwatering—always check soil moisture first.
• Monitor for pests and weeds, and apply targeted treatments if needed.
• Support deeper root systems during dormancy with Vital.

Spring (September – November)

• Start mowing regularly as growth increases.
• De-thatch or top-dress if needed to rejuvenate the surface.
