The Autumnal colours that bloom at the start of March are a comforting sight and the perfect addition to a well-maintained lawn. At Strathayr, our range of high quality Australian turfs suit a range of applications and backyard designs, allowing you have a stunning lawn year round. Keeping your new lawn healthy and prepared will help it look great all through the Autumn season.

Laying a New Turf

As Summer comes to an end, it’s the perfect time to consider preparing to add new turf to your yard. Our RTF Tall Fescue is an excellent choice suitable for full sun or part shade, and provides a medium soft leaf year round. Consider installing the RTF Tall Fescue, an instant lawn, for a low maintenance, self-repairing lawn option this Autumn. With cooler weather, you won’t need to water as frequently and can enjoy the benefits of this instant turf straight away.

Lawn Maintenance

Installing an instant turf is a simple way to have your backyard looking healthy as soon as possible. During Autumn, help to maintain your lawn through aerating. Use a garden fork to drive holes into your grass for better root growth, water drainage and oxygen flow. Fertilising can help to repair your grass from the effects of Summer and provide it with necessary nutrients leading into Winter. Similarly, regular weeding will help you to stay on top of pesky weeds that seek to dominate your backyard.

Keep Your Garden Neat and Tidy

Throughout Autumn, it is important to maximise sun exposure to your grass as the weather cools. Keeping bushes and trees trimmed, and raking leaves from the ground will help to ensure that sunlight is reaching your lawn. When mowing, a higher mower height will keep your grass at a healthy level that can block out weeds, absorb sunlight, and maintain a nice colour throughout the cooler months.
