FAQ

Local lawn care questions

When is the best time to spray lawn weeds?

Early spring is ideal for the first spray to catch weeds as they start growing. We also recommend an autumn spray to target winter-hardy weeds and keep the lawn clean through the colder months.

How many fertiliser treatments does a lawn need each year?

For best results in our local climate, we recommend three professional fertiliser applications spaced throughout the growing season to provide steady nutrients for thick, green growth.

How do I know the size of my lawn?

Don't worry, most people don't! We can help you estimate it or use local maps to measure the grass area during our quote process. Final pricing is always confirmed at the first visit based on the actual size.

Is grass grub treatment worth it?

Absolutely. If you see brown patches that pull up like a carpet, you likely have grass grub. Treating it now saves you from expensive lawn repairs or re-sowing later.

Can you treat moss and weeds?

Yes, we offer specialised moss control and dethatching for shady or damp lawns. We can combine weed spraying with moss treatments to give the grass the best chance to take back the space.
