Maintaining a healthy and vibrant lawn requires more than just watering and mowing. There are several key upkeep tasks that many Australian homeowners may not be aware of, especially when it comes to grass rolls and grass turf. StrathAyr explores some of the essential upkeep tasks you may want to learn about for your roll out turf.
Aeration
Over time, the soil in your lawn can become compacted, making it difficult for air, water and nutrients to penetrate the roots of your grass rolls. Aeration creates small holes in the soil to loosen it up and improve airflow. This allows the roots to grow deeper, resulting in a healthier and more resilient lawn. Aeration can be done using a hand-held aerator or a machine that removes small plugs of soil from the ground.
Topdressing
Topdressing is adding a layer of soil or compost to the top of your lawn. This helps to improve soil quality, reduce thatch build-up and promote healthy root growth. To topdress your lawn, spread a thin layer of soil or compost over the top of your grass rolls and then rake it in lightly.
Weed Control
Weeds can be a major problem for any lawn, competing with your grass for nutrients and sunlight. Preventing weed growth can be done through proper watering and mowing, but sometimes it’s necessary to use weed control products. It’s important to use the right weed control product for your grass type and apply it at the correct time of year. If you’re dealing with weed issues, feel free to reach out to us for assistance.
Disease and Pest Control
Diseases and pests can wreak havoc on your lawn, causing damage and weakening your grass. Proper maintenance practices, such as regular mowing and watering, can help to prevent disease and pest problems. It’s important to watch for any signs of damage or infestation and take action quickly if needed. StrathAyr has the expertise and tools to help you tackle any pest problem and restore your lawn to its full health and beauty.
