For most Australians, lawn care can easily be looked after by themselves, but sometimes you might need an extra hand to help. We look at some of the common reasons why you may need to get in a lawn care professional to help in your garden.
Are you time-poor?
For the most part, your lawn maintenance won’t take up a large chunk of your time, depending on the size of your lawn. However, if you are time-poor or unable to keep up with your lawns mowing requirements, you may want to consider hiring a lawn contractor who can do this for you. There are plenty of local lawncare businesses that operate across Australia that can help with your lawn maintenance needs, whether it be mowing to weeding.
Access to commercial-grade products
If you are tackling a particularly nasty weed invasion, lawn disease or pest, a commercial-grade chemical may be required for treatment. These can be expensive, and application can be more hands-on than domestic-style lawn care products.
This is where a lawn contractor can come in handy. Using a contractor who specialises in spraying commercial chemicals will ensure you can get on top of the issue present without needing to purchase or use commercial products.
Spring lawn renovations
Throughout the warmer months, you may want to renovate your lawn. A lawn renovation can help reset your lawn or address soil composition, thatch, or soil compaction issues. A lawn renovation usually consists of weed removal, dethatching, aerating, fertilising, preventative insecticides, pre-emergent herbicides, top dressing, and watering for recovery. Doing a renovation can be a time-consuming and laborious task. So bringing in a lawn care professional to do this can be an ideal option.
Struggling with a particular weed or disease?
Pesky weeds including onion weed, ryegrass, nutgrass and other invading grass types, and diseases like dollar spot, brown patch, and winter fusarium, can be more challenging to remove. A lawn contractor can come out to your property and identify what weed/disease your lawn has. The contractor will then be able to treat the issue appropriately.
