At StrathAyr, we understand the challenges Australian summers bring to your lawn. With our expertise in turf production and natural turf technology, we’re here to guide you through maintaining a green lawn during the hot months. Here are some essential summer lawn care tips to keep your grass thriving.
Mowing: The Right Way
Proper mowing is crucial for lawn health, especially in summer. Keep these points in mind:
- Mow regularly, but adjust the height to leave the grass slightly longer. This provides shade to the soil, reducing moisture loss.
- Use sharp mower blades to prevent damage to the grass.
Fertilisation: Timing is Key
Fertilise your lawn at the start of summer. Choose a slow-release fertiliser to nourish your lawn over time without the risk of burning. This ensures your rollout turf remains resilient.
Watering: Smart and Efficient
Watering is vital for lawn survival in summer. Here’s how to do it right:
- Water early in the morning to reduce evaporation.
- Deep, infrequent watering encourages deeper root growth, which is essential for drought tolerance.
Wetting Agents: Maximising Water Use
Wetting agents can be a game-changer for your lawn in summer. They help the soil absorb and retain water more effectively, ensuring your instant lawn or rollout turf stays hydrated.
Aerating and Patching: Essential for Growth
Aerating your lawn helps improve water penetration, especially in compacted areas. Patch any bare spots with seeds or turf to maintain a uniform look.
