Spring Lawn Care Tips for the Adelaide Hills
As winter fades and spring arrives, it’s time to give your lawn the care it needs to thrive. At Green City Scapes, your trusted local landscaper in the Adelaide Hills, we have some essential tips to ensure your lawn is lush and green this spring.
1. Clean Up Your Lawn Start by raking away winter debris like leaves and twigs to allow sunlight and air to reach the soil.
2. Aerate the Soil Aerate your lawn to improve water, nutrient, and oxygen penetration, especially important in the compacted soils of the Adelaide Hills.
3. Fertilize for Growth Use a high-quality, slow-release fertilizer to provide essential nutrients and encourage strong, healthy growth.
4. Water Wisely Water deeply and infrequently, preferably in the early morning, to promote deep root growth and reduce disease risk.
5. Control Weeds Apply a pre-emergent herbicide in early spring and manage existing weeds with post-emergent herbicides or hand-pulling.
6. Mow Regularly Mow regularly, setting your mower blades to the appropriate height and avoiding cutting more than one-third of the grass height at a time. By following these steps, your lawn will be ready to flourish as the warmer months approach.
