Spring priorities for Australian lawns
As soil warms (September–November in temperate zones; earlier in subtropical areas): lower mowing height gradually, fertilise with slow-release lawn food, treat broadleaf weeds before they seed, and aerate compacted areas.
Renovation vs maintenance
Patchy winter lawns may need oversowing or turf repair. Heavy thatch benefits from scarifying — hire equipment or a gardener for large areas.
Watering in spring
Increase watering as growth picks up; respect local restrictions. Deep infrequent watering trains deeper roots.
What to look for in a gardener
A reliable gardener asks about access, slope, pets, and your priorities before quoting. They explain what is included in each visit and flag extra work (heavy pruning, green waste removal) before starting.
- Do they carry public liability insurance?
- Will the same person or crew attend each visit?
- How do they handle wet weather or missed visits?
- What equipment do they use for your lawn size?
- Can they provide a written quote and invoice with ABN?
