TREAT WINTER GRASS NOW!
Winter grass is a highly common w**d in most lawns throughout Australia, it has a bright green leaf which is very soft in it's early life cycle, it will most commonly appear at the beginning of Winter and can often last right up until the new year. It's bright green leaf makes the grass very apparent as a w**d in home lawns, and it never mows very well, neither with a rotary or cylinder lawn mower.
The w**d can become a real problem over time as the many generations of w**ds create more and more roots systems which will keep filling the soil like spiders webs. The root systems are very intensive and will eventually fill the sol to choke out the root system of the lawn itself.
How To Kill Winter Grass
The herbicide for Winter Grass is unique amongst most other herbicides, this one acts on the roots system of Winter Grass rather than on the leaf system like other poisons.
One of the most important factors in controlling Winter Grass is to treat it as early as possible in it's lifecycle. The more Winter Grass matures, the more difficult it is to kill, and can often resist w**d sprays. The other reason to treat this w**d early is to kill it off before it has a chance to produce a new generation of w**d seeds, which will only create more Winter Grass in the years to come.
Expect to treat Winter Grass for a few years running as the seed banks will take some time to deplete their stocks in the soil.
PRE-EMERGENT CONTROL OF WINTER GRASS
Winter grass needs to be treated as early in it's life cycle as possible, in fact the best time to treat Winter Grass is before it is even seen. This is when the Winter Grass seeds have germinated in the soil but have yet to be emerge into the lawns surface.
This may seem like a tricky act but it really is very easy. If we've had Winter Grass in our lawns in previous years then we will most certainly have it this year. So if Winter Grass is expected, we simply apply the Winter Grass Poison in May, knowing that the w**d has already germinated within the soil.

LAWN MOWING HEIGHTS FOR BUFFALO GRASS
Proper lawn mowing heights are important for all lawn types, and especially a Buffalo lawn such as Sir Walter or Palmetto, the differences in mowing heights can mean big differences in lawn health, thatch control and water usage.
A Buffalo lawn which is regularly cut too short will result in greater water evaporation from soil, putting the lawn under stress and increasing water usage. A short lawn can also mean ongoing poor health due to lack of photosynthesis.
MOWING HEIGHTS AND PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Photosynthesis is the process which plants and lawns use to power their growth and food conversion from nutrients into carbohydrate foods.
Many problems which occur in Soft Leaf Buffalo lawns is often due to the lawn being mowed to low. Buffalo lawns like Sir Walter and Palmetto like to have a longer leaf, and prefer being mowed at a higher than average height when compared to other warm season grass types.
3 to 6cm is an optimum mowing height for Buffalo grass, mowing lower than this may result in an ongoing unhealthy lawn.
SHADE AND MOWING HEIGHTS
Shade is also a very big factor in lawn mowing heights. If you chose a Buffalo lawn for it's shade tolerance and the lawn is planted in an area of high shade, then the mowing height will need to be raised in the shaded part of the yard. This allows the longer leaf blade to trap more sunlight in order to conduct enough Photosynthesis for it's survival.
SEASONAL MOWING HEIGHTS
As our lawns approach Winter the available daily sunlight reduces, and with it so does the ability of the lawn to photosynthesise it's food. In order to maintain a healthier Buffalo grass lawn in Winter it will be necessary to raise mowing heights prior to and during the Winter season. This allows greater photosynthesis and food supply under the low light conditions of Winter.

Autumn truly is the smartest time of the year to prepare your lawn for the harsh winter ahead.
With the soil maintaining its summer warmth and the more frequent rainfall, your lawn is busy absorbing energy, moisture and all the nutrients it needs to get it through the coldest part of the year.
Give your lawn a bit of a love now, and you’ll be sure to get a lot of love back by spring.

What are African Black Beetles?
Both the adult and larval stages of the African Black Beetle can cause
damage to roots of a wide variety of plants. The favoured plant of the
black beetle is grass. The adult beetles appear in Spring and can lay
large numbers of eggs so treatment is important. They may cause some
damage but the larvae (curl grubs) are voracious feeders and will cause
significant damage if left untreated.
What are the symptoms?
The grass dies in patches for no apparent reason. The lawn has a
damaged root system and looks brown or discoloured. In lawns heavily
affected with larvae, grass turns yellow then brown and dies and the
lawn can be lifted and rolled back like a carpet.
If you think your lawn is currently affected by black beetle contact us on 0410959959 and we can bring your lawn back to its former glory.

Did you know: the cooling properties of lawn are so effective that the temperatures around a grassed area will be around 10-15 degrees lower than over concrete? While also keeping your home cool through summer!

The best time of day to water your lawn is first thing in the morning.
In the middle of the day the water evaporates too quickly. Through the night, your lawn stays too wet and promotes fungus growth.
