Want Green Grass Without Too Much Fuss?

​Do you peer over the fence at your neighbour’s beautifully manicured lawns and wonder how they do it? Not sure where to start with your overgrown lawn and weeds, and even if you did know, don’t have a heap of time to spare?

Here at Geelong Lawn Care we’re all about giving our local Geelong community simple and easy tips on lawn mowing and garden maintenance. Having a luscious lawn and landscaped garden doesn’t have to cost much or take up all your spare time either! They say the grass is always greener on the other side (aka your neighbour’s) but that doesn’t need to be true. Follow our three easy tips to get your lawns looking greener and healthy.

  • FEED: Feeding your lawn the proper nutrients is vital to maintaining a thriving, green lawn. Each time your lawns are mowed nutrients are removed from the grass, so you need to make sure they’re being replaced. Starting in early Spring, fertilise the lawn once a month to every six weeks with a special lawn fertiliser from your nearest garden store. Look out for a lawn fertiliser containing phosphorous, potassium and nitrogen and be sure to follow the instructions on the package.

  • WATER: Watering your grass during our hot Aussie summers is vital to maintaining a lush lawn. We prefer to deep water every few days rather than water every day. A deep water will moisten your soil up to 6 inches and should remain moist for a few days at a time. Avoid watering in the heat of the day – not because it will damage your grass but because you’ll lose some of the moisture due to evaporation. Water either before the sun rises or after the sun has gone down but remember to be sure to follow any water restrictions that may be in place in your local area.

  • LOVE: Don’t let your lawn become overgrown, maintaining a regular mowing schedule helps thicken the grass and keep it healthy. Mow in a different direction each time and keep the grass a little bit longer in the summer months to help withstand the hotter, dryer weather. It’s not all about your lawns either, so to keep your garden looking great pull weeds out before they overtake your garden beds. Pulling weeds out as you see them instead of letting them build up and pulling them out every few weeks or so will keep the task smaller and take less time.

There you have it, a few simple tips to get greener grass. Not matter what love and attention you’re giving your lawns make sure you commit by keeping it consistent. Don’t let all of your hard work in the hotter months go to waste by ignoring your lawns in winter. Your lawn may not need as much watering in winter but it still needs to be cut regularly.
