Get your Lawn Ready for Winter
Posted in Lawn Care & Maintenance on Wednesday, 04 April 2012

All that water will have probably leached the nutrients from the soil just where your lawn needs them most - at the root base. These nutrients need to be replaced prior to Winter.

Trees and Lawns
Posted in Lawn Care & Maintenance on Thursday, 21 April 2011
Trees can look great in a lawn but there are a few things to consider for a successful relationship between lawn and tree. We see large trees growing in parks, commercial spaces and botanical gardens. They provide beauty and much needed shade and shelter for birds and other wildlife. In your average home garden many large trees are not suitable as they just get too big, but there are many smaller, more suitable shade and feature trees. Most good nurseries will be able to advise on what will go well at your place.

Posted in Lawn Care & Maintenance on Thursday, 21 April 2011
There are many different lawn varieties and cultivars.
Naturally, how your lawn performs depends on many factors. For example in the case of winter colour with Sir Walter Soft Leaf Buffalo varieties, the colder the region the more prone to colour loss the lawn will be, but this is a perfectly natural characteristic only lasting for a short period before you’re back in the green.
