A love affair – The Aussie Lawn

Us Australians have a deep connection to our lawn. It’s not just a patch of greenery in front of our homes, but rather an extension of our outdoor living spaces. Lawns are where we gather with family and friends for barbeques, picnics, and games. They provide a safe place for our kids and pets to play and explore.

In addition to their practical uses, lawns also hold cultural and historical significance. They were an integral part of the suburban dream in post-war Australia, representing a symbol of prosperity and success. Today, they remain a source of pride for homeowners and an important aspect of our national identity.

But the love affair with our lawns goes beyond practicality and symbolism. There is a sense of peace and calm that comes with being surrounded by nature, and our lawns provide just that. Whether it’s the smell of freshly cut grass, the feeling of bare feet on a cool summer evening, or the sight of a rainbow after a rain shower, our lawns offer us a place to connect with the natural world and find serenity in our busy lives.

What are Turf Weeds

Turf weeds are unwanted plants that grow in your lawn and compete with desirable grasses for sunlight, water, and nutrients.

They can be classified into two main categories: grassy weeds and broadleaf weeds.

Turf weeds are particularly aggressive and can outcompete desirable grasses if not controlled. While it may be tempting to pick them out by hand, this can actually do more harm than good. Pulling weeds can disturb the soil and cause even more weeds to germinate.

Instead, it’s best to use a targeted approach such as pre-emergent herbicides or selective herbicides to control turf weeds and keep your lawn looking lush and healthy. This is where we come in

Where we come in…

Bindii? Clover? Dandelions? We can’t fault you for making 7 trips to Bunnings without any success. The products we use are only made available to licensed professionals and often used on world class stadiums and golf courses.

Our treatment involves identifying your turf species and making a judgement on its health. We then identify the problem weeds giving your lawn grief. Based on this information – we select the herbicide that best suits your lawn, selectively getting rid of your weeds while leaving your turf intact.

It’s not just weeds we take care of though – pests like lawn grubs, ants and armyworms can be taken care of with our insecticide treatments. We also take care of turf diseases like brown patch and dollar spot using fungicides. Learn more about our full turf management program.
