A lawn can be easy to care for but remember it’s made up of living plants and, as with all living things, their needs must be considered. Choose a grass that is suitable for your climate and conditions. Most grasses are sun-loving plants. In very shaded areas it may be better to select a non-grass ground cover.
Regular light fertilising during the growing season is better than infrequent, heavy fertilising.Once established, Use a correctly balanced fertiliser (such as Yates Lawn Fertiliser) Yates Lawn Fertiliser Granular is a premium granular lawn food designed to give you a strong, green & healthy lawn.The concentrated formula feeds more,for longer (12 weeks) using less! The fine granule formula quickly filters down to the roots and disolves when watered Yates Dynamic Lifter Organic Lawn Food is an organic fertiliser that gently feeds all lawn types and improves the structure and moisture retention of the soil.
With established lawns, cut warm season grasses to 2.5 cm and cool season grasses to 3 to 5 cm. Cut as frequently as possible and remove as little growth as possible.
Never mow grass too low or ‘scalp’ the grass. Grasses need their leaves to make food for the plant and to shade the root system. Remove grass clippings or use a mulching mower.
Some lawns require a large amount of watering so, depending on the situation and soil type.
Kikuyu is the most drought tolerant grass. However it is most often used where nothing else will grow, coastal areas, predominately sand or where consistent heat and moisture make it difficult to grow other types.
Yates Tuffgrass is also reasonably drought tolerant. As a rule, cool season grasses (most popular) need consistent moisture, although turf type tall fescue is reasonably drought tolerant once established. Water in the morning rather than the evening and give thorough less frequent soakings rather than short, frequent waterings. Don’t allow surface runoff.
Note. It is likely in establishing your new lawn you will get some weed seed germination but don't be too alarmed. Some annual weeds will most likely germinate alongside your new grass but these can die out on their own or can be selectively treated with an application of Yates Turfix using the directions for new lawns (less than 6 months old) from around 8 weeks.
