Summer has come to an end, and temperatures should be heading south in Wagga Wagga, Albury and Canberra over the next few months. It’s time for some Autumn lawn care.
Your grass has suffered through a very hot summer and is likely to need a boost, so now is the time to get in there while you still have some of the growing season left. Autumn is a great time of year to get your lawn looking it’s best with some simple lawn care.
Much of the work now will be to get your lawn prepared for the cooler months ahead where it will slow down into a certain level of dormancy. The better your grasses health is going into the cooler months the better it will come out the other side in spring.
Here’s some things you can do:
Aerate
Manage shade
Fertilise
Get on top of summer weeds
Lay turf
Autumn is an ideal time to get your lawn looking its best. By aerating, reducing shade, fertilising and top-dressing (if required), you’ll be well on your way to achieving a great lawn.
