All flora, naturally, thrive in summer. But Victoria’s hotter montrhs can scorch and fade grasses that aren’t tough enough. Ours are. We only grow warm-season grasses; our drought-tolerant, moisture-retaining, colour-keeping summer grasses are perfect for all of Victoria to enjoy.
Maintaining your summer grass when it gets hot
Creating a summer maintenance plan is critical. But it doesn’t have to be such hard work. We’ve created a seasonal lawn care maintenance guide to help you keep your garden in pristine condition. Read the guide for detailed information, but here’s what you can expect to learn:
- Why your grass is yellowing in summer
- How to revive grass in summer
- How often you should water your grass in summer
- If you should aerate your grass in summer
- Why laying turf in summer and spring is best
- When to mow your grass in summer
We also discuss summer weed control, fertilisers, wetting agents, and lawn growth regulators. We also recommend you read our blog post on summer lawn care. And remember — we’re always happy to chat on the phone.
