How to Maintain Your Lawn During the Dry Winter Months

(Tips from your trusted landscaper)

Your lawn requires a little extra attention as winter approaches in order to remain robust and healthy. To help it survive the dry months and recover gracefully in the spring, follow t

✅ 1. Water Wisely:

Your lawn requires some moisture, even during the winter. To minimise evaporation, water deeply but sparingly, once every two to three weeks, in the morning.

✅ 2. Keep the Mower High:

To prevent cutting the grass too short, raise the mower blade. The roots are shielded from extreme temperatures by longer grass.

✅ 3. Minimize Traffic:

To avoid compaction and damage, try to limit the amount of foot traffic on your dormant lawn.

✅ 4. Clear Debris:

Remove any sticks, toys, or equipment, and rake up the leaves. This enables the grass to receive moisture, light, and air.

✅ 5. Aerate If Needed:

A winter aeration can help improve drainage and root health if your soil is compacted

✅ 6. Feed with Care:

Until the growing season resumes, apply a slow-release winter fertiliser that promotes disease resistance and strong roots.

Your lawn will be ready for a lush, green spring with a little extra care now! 🌳
