After 10 wonderful years in business, Nathan and the team at Crown Lawn's would like to announce the decision has been made to end all services, and shift our focus to other projects.

Our scheduling team has been in contact with all of our valued clients individually to notify of the change, and to reassure you that you have been left in the capable hands of Vic from Vic's Mowing. If for some reason you haven't seen any communication, please contact the office on 08 6559 5675 & ask for Nicole.

Lastly, Nathan and the entire Crown team would like to sincerely thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your loyalty and support over the duration of the past decade. Without you, we wouldn't be where we are today.

We will miss your warm greetings & beautiful gardens 🌸

Thank you! 💚

A decade in business is something worth celebrating 🥳

R U OK? DAY || Today is R U OK? Day 2021. ⭐️🌞

A day designed to put mental health under the spotlight and encourage us to connect and check in with loved ones, friends & colleagues. With the current climate in our country, it is more crucial than ever to grab a coffee with that friend, have a Friday drink with a work colleague or make that phone call to your interstate family member. ☕️

That one question can make ALL the difference. Here's some tips when asking..
⭐️Actively listen to their answer, without judgement
⭐️Encourage them to take action
⭐️Make a time to check back in

Here at UGC Group we are sharing some home made cupcakes, and playing a 'Guess the amount of Banana's in the jar' game. Conversation starters to get our team talking. 🤝💛

TURF W**D MANAGEMENT 🌱

With all the fantastic rain of late, one thing that does become prevalent are those pesky w**ds in your beautiful lawn.💧
Luckily, majority of w**ds that poke up their heads during winter rains can be easily handled.

Below are a few tips to ensure your lawn continues to be the envy of the street.🤩

For common broadleaf w**ds like clover, bindii, cudw**d, fleabane, or dandelion a simple broadleaf herbicide such as Bow & Arrow is great get a handle on these w**ds.👍

Ensuring you do not mow the lawn for 48 hours prior to application and avoiding rain for at least 24 hours after applying will ensure the best possible results.🌧

Avoiding windy conditions when applying broad leaf spray is a must, as drift can damage other plants in your garden causing off target damage.💨

Here is to a w**d free lawn during winter!😍🌿☂️

Don’t let the cooler months deter you from getting stuck into the garden this winter. Read on to see what to get done in those winter months! 👩‍🌾☔️

1. Help the rain soak in: Extended periods of dry weather can leave your soil water repellent (hydrophobic). This can be fixed with a good soil wetting agent or seaw**d based additive 🌿
2. Get stuck into W**d control: With rain comes w**ds, make sure you remove them before they mature, setting seed and becoming a problem for years to come.💦
3. Get on top of ‘those’ jobs: We always avoid the not so fun/difficult tasks but now is the perfect time to relocate plants that are not thriving, fix your irrigation system while it is off for the season or build that garden path you have been talking about all summer.📝
4. Veggie Patch: Winter is a great time to be planting brassica species such brussels sprouts and cauliflower or your leafy greens like lettuce and Bok choy. Take time to tidy up your veggie patch and re enrich your soils with compost. Also, no is a great time to start thinking about what kind of summer garden you would like!🥦
5. Prune Prune Prune: Now is the perfect time to be pruning your deciduous trees (lose leaves in cooler months). Pruning your roses is a winter must and any time after July is a great time to get amongst the thorns. Be sure to apply a seaw**d based product to condition your soil afterwards and give your plants the best chance they have to survive the harsh winter months✂️
6. Start something new: Start planning what kind of garden you would like to have. Do you need more or less shade in certain areas? Would you like to plant more Native species to attract native wildlife to your out door space? These creatures will do wonders for your garden, pollinating and snacking on unwanted pest insects. Would you like to start a compost and worm farm? These are also wonderful for soil enrichment and fertilizer for a wide variety of plants. The possibilities are endless.🐛
Enjoy getting out and showing your garden some love this winter! 💜
