So, your new lawn is now installed, and you’re unsure what to do next? This blog covers a few simple steps on how to care for your new lawn.
Ensuring your lawn has enough water, especially for the first few days after installation, is essential to help stop the grass roots from drying out.
For the first few days after receiving your lawn, you will need to irrigate more frequently. This is because the grass roots won’t have had the chance to grow into the soil. The duration and number of times you need to water will depend on a few factors, including temperatures, location, and rainfall.
As a general guide, you want to ensure your grass roots stay damp. If you are experiencing lots of rainfall in your area, you may not need additional irrigation. However, if your temperatures are hotter without rainfall, you may need to irrigate a few times a day.
For more information on watering your lawn, it is best to reach out to your local turf supplier. They will be familiar with the current weather conditions and local area.
Once the roots of your lawn have established into the soil, you can start reducing the number of times you need to irrigate. Once your lawn is fully established, you should only need to irrigate when there is not enough rainfall to meet the needs of your lawn. Some tell-tale signs that your lawn needs water are:
Your new lawn should be ready for its first mow once the grass roots grow into the soil profile. To see if it is ready, try lifting the corner of a turf roll from the ground. It is ready to mow if you can’t lift the roll from the ground.
With your first mow, raise the mower’s height so only the top of the leaf blade is removed. Then, slowly bring the height back to your preferred mowing height over the next few mows.
Once the lawn has been down for 6 – 8 weeks, it will be ready for its first fertiliser application. For fertilising a new lawn we recommend using a well-balanced fertiliser, like our Lawn Solutions Premium Fertiliser. This contains all the nutrients your lawn needs to thrive over the coming months and is safe to use on lawn types.
If you want to apply products during the lawns first few weeks, you can use a soil conditioner like Lawn Kelper, this will help stimulate and strengthen roots and shoots.
If you notice weeds starting to grow in your new lawn, it is best to hold off from using herbicides till the lawn has fully established. However, most lawn weeds should be able to be removed by hand.
If we haven’t touched on any inquiries you have about caring for your new lawn, reach out to your local turf supplier, or get in contact with the Lawn Solutions Team.

Does your lawn have weeds but not sure what type they are and know the best way to remove them? In this blog, we look at common lawn weeds that could be growing in your lawn, provide tips on identifying different weeds, and recommend the best way to remove them.
Bindii can be one of the more annoying and painful weeds to have growing in your lawn. This weed is low-growing, with its flower at the centre of the plant. Bindii will start to grow in winter and will grow a green carrot-like leaf. As the temperatures warm up in spring and summer, the plant will begin to dry out and leave behind its prickly seeds.
Bindii can be removed with most broadleaf herbicides like All Purpose Weed Control and Amgrow Bin Die. Both herbicides are safe for common lawn varieties, including Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo, Sir Grange Zoysia, TifTuf Hybrid Bermuda, couch, zoysia, fescue, and ryegrass.
Clover is another weed commonly found in many Aussie lawns. This weed can be identified by its oval-shaped leaves. These leaves also have a white circular marking across all the leaves and will produce either a white, pink, red or yellow flower.
We recommend using a broadleaf herbicide like All Purpose Weed Control or Amgrow Bin Die to remove clover.
Crowsfoot is an annual summer weed that grows in easy-to-identify tufts, staying fairly flat to the ground with almost white flat sheathed stems and smooth strap-like leaves. Seed heads usually appear from late spring or early summer. These seed heads can have as many as ten spikelets on each long stem. In an unhealthy lawn, if left to seed and spread, Crowsfoot will quickly infiltrate right through the entire lawn. Crowsfoot is commonly found throughout most Australian states.
If there are only a few tufts of crowsfoot growing, the best way to remove the weed is to pull it out by hand. If there is an infestation across the lawn, we recommend using a herbicide with DSMA as the active, like David Greys 500ml Crab Grass and Clover Killer Selective Herbicide. Please note herbicides containing DSMA as the active ingredient are not safe for use on Kikuyu, buffalo lawns, and QLD blue couch.
Cudweed has glossy light green leaves in a rosette shape. Under the leaf, it is white and furry. It has various flowering habits from mid-spring to early summer, or in autumn.
When treating Cudweed, it is recommended to use a surfactant or add a few drops of dishwashing liquid to the herbicide, to help it adhere to the leaf. We recommend using a broadleaf herbicide like All Purpose Weed Control or Amgrow Bin Die to remove this.
Nutgrass is a noxious Sedge weed that gets its name from its nut-like tubers found on the plant’s roots. It is usually identifiable from its lighter green leaves that grow taller than the rest of your lawn. It has 3 blades that will shoot up from the stem. The stem will be triangular rather than circular stem like most grasses.
If your lawn has nutgrass, it is not recommended to pull them out by hand as the bulbs will be left in the soil, and the plant will reappear. To remove nutgrass, we recommend using a selective herbicide like our Lawn Solutions Sedge Control.
Creeping Oxalis has small light green heart-shaped leaves, very similar in appearance to clover. (Oxalis have heart-shaped leaves while clover has oval-shaped leaves.) The flowers are small, about 3-4mm in diameter, and bright yellow in color containing five petals. Creeping Oxalis, as its name suggests, quickly runs along the surface of the soil and produces roots from the leaf as it goes and creeps under and through your lawn.
The removal of Creeping Oxalis is similar to clover, requiring a broadleaf herbicide. We recommend using either All Purpose Weed Control or Amgrow Bin Die, suitable for most lawn varieties.

Are you wanting to get your lawn on the mend but not sure if you can fit it into your budget? This blog looks at how you can get your lawn looking its best, even when working on a budget this spring.
Aerating your soil will help create space below ground for your soil to take in air, nutrients, and water. This will help stop and avoid many problems associated with compaction, like drainage issues, bare patches, weeds, dry spots, and fungal diseases. Aerating your lawn will also help the grass roots grow deeper into the soil base so the grass can grow stronger and more vigorously.
To aerate your soil, you can manually use a sturdy garden fork and drive it into the ground. Give it a good wiggle back and forward to help decompact the soil base. Continue this process across the lawn and aim for around 8 – 10cm apart.
One of the quickest and easiest ways to remove most types of weeds is to pull them out by hand.
Please note that some weeds are not recommended to be removed by hand, including Nutgrass, Soursob, and Onion Weed. Please have a look for more information here.
Mowing your lawn regularly will not only help your lawn look tidy but will improve the health of your lawn. By mowing your lawn regularly, you will:
So how often should you mow? We recommend mowing your lawn frequently enough so that only one-third of the leaf will be removed with each pass. In the warmer months, while the lawn is actively growing you will need to mow more frequently. In the cooler months, the lawn will slow down in growth and will require less frequent mows.
Mowing frequently will also help make mowing easier as you won’t need to push the mower through tall grass.
Your lawn’s clippings are a great source of nitrogen and can act as a natural fertiliser for your lawn. When leaving your clippings on the lawn, it is best to ensure you frequently mow and that only a small amount of the leaf is removed. This will help avoid the grass underneath becoming smothered.
If there is room in the budget, fertilising your lawn will help provide essential nutrients to the lawn. This will help give your lawn a boost and will help provide the nutrients your lawn needs to stay healthy.
When choosing a fertiliser, we recommend using our Lawn Solutions Premium Fertiliser. This fertiliser has a well-balanced ratio of nutrients and is suitable for all lawn varieties.

There are so many options to choose from when buying lawn mowers, from self-propelled, battery powered, cylinder mowers, the list goes on! With this, it can be difficult to know what type of features in a lawn mower to look out for. This blog looks at a few different mower types and their features to help you choose the best mower for you.
For smaller lawns, you won’t need a very large mowing deck and can get away without using a self-propelled mower.
The Victa 18’ Classic Cut Mulch Or Catch Petrol Lawn Mower has a smaller cutting deck of 18’ and features an easy start setting. This mower mulches the grass clippings, so you can leave the clippings or bag if you prefer. The mower hasa mowing height range of 11-76mm, making it ideal for most lawns. Customers have liked that the mower starts with the first pull and have easy access to oil and fuel.
Features:
Battery Powered Mowers are a more environmentally friendly mower option compared to the classic petrol-powered mowers. The newer battery-powered mowers on the market are much more powerful than they once were. Most batteries for battery-powered mowers are also compatible with other tools that the specific brand produces. So, if you already have a battery-powered tool from one brand, it is more economical to use a mower for which you already have batteries for.
The Ryobi One+18V 37cm Brushless Cordless Lawn Mower Kit is ideal for small to medium size lawns (37cm mower). It doesn’t have any pull cords and fuel or oil to worry about. One benefit of this mower is that it includes the required Ryobi battery and fast charger. In addition, users have loved the height adjustment range, ability to fold up quickly for storage, and 40L mesh catcher.
Features:
Self-propelled mowers are ideal when mowing medium to large lawns or when mowing up a slope. This will help limit fatigue and help you cover your area faster than the standard push mower.
The Honda 21’ Self Propelled Mower is packed with features that provide an excellent mowing experience while providing a great cut. In addition, users have loved that it is easy to start and helps reduce the mowing time.
Features:
The robot lawn mower is one of the newer mowing options to hit the market. Robot mowers work similarly to robot vacuums. These mowers will work within a parameter set by you and will automatically return to the charging station once the lawn is cut or if it has a low battery. There are a few different robot mowers on the market. Some can be controlled by your phone, and some can mow up steep inclines, while delivering excellent cutting results.
The Husqvarna Automower range is a popular robotic mower option. They have a great range available to suit all lawn sizes and areas. You can find more information on the Husqvarna Automower range here.
If you are following any lawn care pages, you have probably seen the hype around the Ozito Cylinder Mower. The precision-ground steel cylinder blades can provide a clean and precise cut like the bigger and much more pricey cylinder mowers on the market. The Ozito mowers adjustable cutting height is between 14-38mm, cutting a bit higher than larger cylinder lawn mowers.
The Ozito Cylinder Mower is battery powered. You do need to buy the rechargeable battery separately. This battery is also compatible with a range of other Ozito home and garden tools.
Features:

Have you ever wondered what’s the best grass you should use around paving, concrete, and other surfaces? This blog looks at a range of options you can use in your outdoor space.
When using grasses around paving, we recommend choosing a grass type that won’t grow particularly tall and will grow thick around the paving. If you plan to have pavers across your lawn, we recommend going for a slower-growing grass like Sir Grange Zoysia or Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo.
Sir Grange Zoysia is a slower-growing boutique grass that looks great with little maintenance. This grass has a stunning fine leaf, with a beautiful dark green colour, and is slow growing. This grass can even be left unmown! The Sir Grange also doesn’t grow particularly long, so it works well in landscaped areas. This is a slower-growing grass. So, it won’t have as fast repairing nature as other warm-season grasses like couch and buffalo grass. So, it is best used in low traffic areas that will not be used by pets and kids, or where the paving will be walked on, instead of the lawn.
As this grass is a slow grower, it can take some time to establish. Sir Grange Zoysia also requires a bit of extra ground preparation work when installing. For more information on the installation and establishment of Sir Grange Zoysia, click here.
If you are installing grass in an area with pavers or other surfaces like concrete that will receive more foot traffic or will be used by pets and kids, we recommend having a look at Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo.
Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo grass has a higher wear tolerance and a faster repairing nature than Sir Grange Zoysia. Sir Walter has a soft broad leaf, high shade tolerance, and excellent with pets and kids. This grass is low maintenance, and well-suited to the Australian Climate.
For choosing a turf type in high-wear areas along a driveway or other surfaces, we recommend looking at TifTuf Hybrid Bermuda or Sir Walter DNA Certified.
For turfed areas along driveways and paths, look at using faster-growing grass. Although you will need to keep in mind the lawn may need its edges done from time to time. Edging along driveways and paths will be much easier to maintain as they are mostly straight. Please check out our blog on edging for more information here.
If you want your lawn to sit flush with a concrete surface, we recommend leaving about 30-40mm below the height of the other surface. This will allow for the thickness of the turf. Best to chat with your local turf supplier for exact measurements of how thick they are cutting their turf.
There is an excellent range of other ground covers that you can use around paving. These ground covers are a good option to look at using in smaller areas, like alongside of the house or on small pathways. When choosing plants, it is best to look for something that is low growing and can spread to prevent weeds from growing. A few options include Baby Tears, Dwarf Mondo Grass, Dichondra Silver Falls, and Blue Star Creeper.
For more information on choosing the best turf variety for your area, it is best to have a chat with your local Lawn Solutions turf supplier.
Whether you are having an open house, or a rental inspection, lawns and gardens are often one of the last areas to tidy before inspection day. To help you get organised, we have put together a guide on how to get your lawn and garden inspection ready.
If there are big bare patches, the best way to get grass growing is to lay new turf in the patch. This method is quicker and easier to achieve better results, especially when short on time.
When replacing a patch of grass, you will need to rake out any dead foliage in the bare area and turn over the existing soil. Then if needed, bring in some soil to raise the ground level. Next, cut your turf to size and lay the bare patch on top. Keep the water up to the patch and avoid mowing this area until the new turf has rooted down into the soil base.
To purchase turf, get in contact with your local turf suppliers here.
A quick mow will help get the yard looking tidy. If the lawn has been left a bit too long, it is best to mow with the catcher on to prevent lawn clippings from smothering the grass. Mowing with a catcher will also help avoid clippings from going over other surfaces like the driveway.
To help keep the lawn healthy for future house inspections, regular mowing is key. This will help your lawn maintain a consistent growth pattern and help your lawn become thicker and healthier.
A great way to help give your lawn an instant green up and a boost is to apply ColourGuard Plus. ColourGuard Plus is a natural organic lawn pigment and liquid fertiliser product that helps provide natural green colour to your lawn, especially in a hurry for a house inspection!
A quick tidy-up of garden beds and removing any weeds that have grown in will go a long way. The best and fastest way to remove weeds is to pull them out by hand. When removing weeds, it is best to avoid spreading any weed seeds to the rest of the lawn and dispose of them in a green bin or garbage bag.
Edging your lawn is another great way to make your lawn looks clean and tidy for a house inspection, especially if the lawn is growing over concrete or other surfaces. There are a few different edging tools available, but you should be able to achieve sharp edges by using whipper snipper.
For more information on how to edge your lawn, check out our blog here.
Prune back any trees or shrubs that are overgrown or blocking paths, entryways, or needs a tidy. This will help make the property look more appealing. For pruning, you can use wither garden sheers, saws, or hedge trimmers, depending on the plant and how much plant material you are removing.
Now is also a great time to fertilise your lawn. This will help the lawn improve its colour and help thicken the profile.
A liquid fertiliser like Exceed can provide fast results as it is absorbed by the leaf of the grass. This provides a much quicker result compared to granular fertilisers as they are absorbed by the grass roots.
If you are wanting to help improve the overall health of the grass, you may want to look at using a slow-release granular fertiliser that will release nutrients to the lawn, giving it a boost over a longer period. For granular fertilisers we recommend using our Lawn Solutions Premium Fertiliser. This contains all the essential nutrients your lawn needs to look and stay healthy.

Spring is now here! Temperatures are now rising, and our lawns are set to start actively growing again! We recommend doing a few simple spring lawn care activities to ensure your grass will grow at its healthiest throughout the warmer months.
We know it might be tempting to throw grass fertiliser down as soon as spring starts, but it is best to wait until the temperatures rise and ensure the lawn is actively growing first. If you time your fertiliser application before this, the lawn won’t be growing fast enough to absorb all nutrients provided and won’t allow the fertiliser to work to its full potential.
So, when should you apply fertiliser? Best to wait until you notice your lawn is actively growing. You should be able to detect this when the lawn needs more frequent mows. This can be at different times for different regions of Australia.
For fertilising in spring, we recommend using a granular lawn fertiliser, like our Lawn Solutions Premium Fertiliser. This has a combination of fast and slow-release granules that contain a balanced ratio of nutrients your lawn needs to thrive. This fertiliser is suitable for all lawn types.
Another spring lawn care activity you can do is ensuring your mower blades are nice and sharp. This will help your grass look better after mowing and will help keep your lawn healthier.
We recommend checking your mower blades at the start of every growing season to ensure they are in good shape or need sharpening. To check your mower, tilt your lawn mower up with the front wheels pointing upwards and the handle flat to the ground or bench. This will ensure no oil flows where it shouldn’t.
If the blades have any cracks, bends, extremely thin blades, or even holes in the blades fin – then your blades need to be replaced.
If there is still plenty of meat left on your blades and they are in their correct shape, they may simply need to be sharpened.
For most people, the easiest fix is to have your mower blades looked at by a professional. However, if you are not confident or short on time, your best option is to drop your lawn mower off at your local mower shop and have the experts give the whole unit a once over. It can be a good idea to undertake a mower service every 12 months or so, leaving your mower ready to go when you need it during the warmer months.
The one rule relates to the leaf length that you should limit yourself to taking off at each mow. The reasoning behind it is to lessen the grass’ stress during the destructive mowing process. Removing only one-third of the leaf during a mowing event will limit the amount of photosynthesizing material removed and allow the plant to maintain reasonable growth by minimising this stress among others.
Aerating your soil is another great spring lawn care activity to do! Aerating your soil will increase the amount of air, water, and nutrients it receives. This strengthens grass roots and helps create a healthier lawn. Aeration decreases thatch and compaction and should be carried out annually in high traffic areas and on hard lawns. Lawns with poorer soil can benefit from aeration too.
To aerate your lawn, drive a garden fork into the soil and give it a wiggle to help decompact the soil base. You can also do this with a core aerator which will remove plugs of soil at the same time. Continue this across the lawn around 8-10 cm apart for best results.
It may be worth hiring a motorised aerator if you have a larger area or your soil is highly compacted.
Check out our other lawn care blogs here for more spring lawn care tips and advice.
As the temperatures are set to rise over the coming weeks, your lawn will start to actively grow. With this, your grass will need more frequent mows to keep up with growth. To help we take a look at a few tips and tricks, this will get the best cut when mowing your lawn.
You may have noticed that your mower allows you to adjust and change the height you can mow at. On a typical rotary mower, a lever is located near one of the wheels, allowing you to raise and lower the mowing deck.
As a general rule of thumb, it is best to mow lower during warmer months and higher during cooler months.
Green couch: 5 to 30mm
Buffalo grass (Sir Walter): 30 to 50mm
Kikuyu: 30 to 50mm
Zoysia matrella (Sir Grange): 5 to unmown
Queensland blue couch: 5 to 30mm
Broadleaf carpet grass: 30 to 50mm
Hybrid Bermuda (TifTuf): 5 to 30mm
Fescue: 30 to 50mm
A common question we get is, “how often should I mow my lawn?” The answer to this is dependent on your turf variety and local climate. For example, if you are in a warmer climate like Queensland with a fast-growing grass like couch, you will need to mow more frequently than someone in a cooler climate like Tasmania with a slower-growing grass like buffalo.
To answer the question, mow your lawn frequently enough so that you remove no more than one-third of the leaf with each pass. Cutting this way will limit the amount of stress caused to the plant and help avoid scalping.
Ensuring your mower blades are nice and sharp will help your grass look better after a mow and help keep your lawn healthier.
We recommend checking your mower blades at the start of every growing season to ensure they are in good shape or need sharpening.
If the blades have any cracks, bends, extremely thin blades, or even holes in the blades fin, then your blades need to be replaced.
If there is still plenty of meat left on your blades and they are in their correct shape, they may simply need to be sharpened.
For most people, the easiest fix is to have your mower blades looked at by a professional.
There are a few different mower types that are on the market.
A popular option for the home lawn is a rotary mower. These mower types have spinning blades rotating on a vertical axis under a cutting deck. They work best on a medium to high cut and are now available as both petrol and battery powered. Some trusty rotary mower brands to look out for include Honda, Victa, Toro, Bosh, Ryobi, Masport, Ozito, Makita and Husqvarna.
If you want to get a clean low cut, you will want to look at using a cylinder mower. There are a few different choices available. There are cheaper models available like the Ozito Cylinder Mower. Bigger cylinder mowers like Scott Bonnar, Protea, Swardman and Bushranger tend to be priced at the higher end.
Automowers are one of the new types of mowers on the market! These mowers will often require installation but will be able to maintain your lawn without the effort of a traditional mower. One of our favourites is the Husqvarna Automower.

We love spring here at Lawn Solutions Australia! Spring is when your garden and lawn grow with more exuberance, and the greenery comes to life. But so do many warm-season weeds and some turf-related pests. In this blog, we look at the best way to prevent lawn grubs and weeds from infiltrating your lawn.
You can prevent annual summer and winter grass weeds with a pre-emergent herbicide like 3kg Oxafert and 20kg Oxafert Plus. Pre-emergent herbicides work by targeting seasonal grass weed seedlings during germination, stopping them before they appear on your lawn. As a bonus, both Oxafert and Oxafert Plus contain a fertiliser component that provide nutrients to the lawn and help keep it healthy! Oxafert Plus also contains an additional insecticide component.
When applying Oxafert and Oxafert Plus it is best to time your applications just before the seedlings are set to germinate. To stop seasonal summer weeds like Summer Grass and Crowsfoot it is best to apply in spring before the temperatures rise. For seasonal winter weeds like Winter Grass, best to apply in autumn when the temperatures are getting cooler in your area. The exact time to apply pre-emergents will depend on your local climate and current weather conditions.
Pre-emergent herbicides work by creating a barrier at the soil level. This barrier affects the germination of any new seedlings. Remember, it won’t kill existing weeds; it will prevent germination. So, as the temperatures warm up and the weed seed springs to life, Oxafert kills them before they emerge.
To prevent Summer Grass and Crowsfoot weeds, use 3kg of Oxafert per 100m2. To prevent Winter Grass and Creeping Oxalis weeds use 4kg of Oxafert per 100m2. Spread the granules evenly over dry foliage, and water in after application with at least 10mm of water.
Grub Guard Ultimate, Acelepryn GR and Acelepryn Liquid provides safe and effective control of a wide range of insects while minimizing environmental impact and non-target organisms like Bees and Earthworms. Acelepryn works by targeting a specific muscle receptor that is common in damaging causing insects. Other non-target organisms like Bees, Earthworms, Birds, Fish, and mammals don’t use the same muscle receptors, making it one of the safest insecticides on the market!
Acelepryn targets pests such as Black Beetle, Stem Weevil, Cut Worm, and Army Worm. The great thing about Acelepryn GR compared to other pesticides is that it’s not only curative but also preventative.
Acelepryn is best applied at six monthly intervals to provide year-round protection. We recommend using Acelepryn in September/October and again in March/April as a general guide. These two applications will prevent lawn grubs throughout the entire year.
Grub Guard Ultimate
For treating Lawn Curl Grub, Argentine Stem Weevil larvae and Billbug larvae, spread the granules evenly 750g – 1.5kg per 100m2. We recommend using a calibrated spreader to ensure the granules are spread evenly to the lawn. After the granules have been spread out, lightly water in immediately after application.
For treating Caterpillars including Lawn Armyworm, Black Cutworm, and Sod Webworm, spread the granules evenly 750g per 100m2.We recommend using a calibrated spreader to ensure the granules are spread evenly to the lawn. After application, delay mowing and watering for 24 hours. After 24 hours have passed, water the granules in.
Acelepryn GR Granules
For treating beetle larvae including African black beetle, Argentine Scarab, Argentine Stem Weevil larvae and Billbug Larvae, spread the granules evenly, 1-2kg per 100m2. We recommend using a calibrated spreader to ensure the granules are spread evenly to the lawn. You can also spread the granules by hand. After the granules have been spread out, give the granules a water in with a minimum of 3mm irrigation.
For Caterpillars including Cutworm, Armyworm, and Sod Worm, spread the granules evenly, 1kg per 100m2. Again, we recommend using a calibrated spreader for an even application. You can also spread the granules by hand. After application, delay mowing and watering for 24 hours. After 24 hours have passed, water the granules in.
Acelepryn Liquid
For treating Lawn Curl Grub (Beetle larvae including: African Black Beetle larvae Argentinian Scarab larvae), Argentine Stem Weevil larvae and Billbug larvae, you can apply through a garden sprayer or watering can. For a garden sprayer use 8 – 15 mL per 5-10 L of water per 100 m2. For a watering can, mix 1.5 mL in 9 L of water and evenly apply to 10 m2. Apply the higher rate for up to 6 months residual protection, cases of high pest pressure, and late in season when mature grubs are present. Lightly water in immediately after application when applying by garden sprayer.
For treating Caterpillars including Lawn Armyworm, Black Cutworm, and Sod Webworm, apply through a garden sprayer. Use 8 mL per 5-10 L of water per 100 m2. To ensure optimum control, delay watering or mowing for 24 hours after application.
With these tips you will be able to prevent lawn grubs and weeds throughout your lawn.
