But unfortunately, there\u2019s a lot more you need to keep in mind and do if you want to have a thriving lawn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From feeding, irrigation, dethatching, aeration and weed control to topdressing, overseeding, disease prevention and pest proofing, these are some of the main tasks you should consider doing at the right time of the year, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, let\u2019s continue with our guide to lawn care by looking into some detailed lawn maintenance tips by season!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Spring_lawn_care\">Spring lawn care guide<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><div class=\"lazyloadImage\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"912\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lawn-care-spring.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15693\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lawn-care-spring.png 912w, https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lawn-care-spring-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lawn-care-spring-768x431.png 768w, https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lawn-care-spring-360x202.png 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 912px) 100vw, 912px\" \/><\/noscript><\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Springtime is probably the busiest period when it comes to helping your garden and lawn wake up and prepare them for the growing season. And although Australian winter is not that harsh in comparison to other regions of the world, lower air and soil temperatures, night\u2019s frost and the like can affect the condition of your grass, especially if it\u2019s a warm-season type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, your spring lawn care guide may include the following general jobs that you should do, in order to give your turf the boost it needs after its dormant winter period. Please, note that most spring lawn maintenance tasks can be done in the autumn, as well, with some of them, actually being recommended to be completed as part of your lawn winterising schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<section class=\"section section--single-post\">\n\t\t<div class=\"related-article\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"related-article__title\">You may also like:<\/div> <!-- \/.related-article__title -->\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"related-article__body\">\n\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"related-article__image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/what-to-plant-in-autumn-in-australia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"What to Plant in Autumn in Australia\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazyloadImage\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/What-to-Plant-in-Autumn-in-Australia-Featured-Image-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"What to Plant in Autumn in Australia - Featured Image\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 5120px) 100vw, 5120px\" title=\"What to Plant in Autumn in Australia &#8211; Featured Image\" \/><\/noscript><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure> <!-- \/.related-article__image -->\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"related-article__desc\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"badge-holder\">\n\t<span class=\"badge badge--color-2\">Gardening Advice<\/span>\n<\/div>  <!-- \/.badge-holder --> \n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/what-to-plant-in-autumn-in-australia\/\" class=\"short-text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"What to Plant in Autumn in Australia\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat to Plant in Autumn in Australia\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.related-article__desc -->\n\t\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.related-article__body -->\n\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.related-article -->\t\n\t<\/section> <!-- \/.section section--single-post -->\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dethatching<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Also called scarifying, removing thatch buildup from your lawn will give new grass shoots the chance to peek through much more easily.

It is designed to loosen compacted soil (a usual occurrence in the winter) so that water and nutrient absorption, as well as airflow in the soil, are significantly improved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on your lawn\u2019s size, you can use different types of manual tools or machinery, from aerating sandals and a hollow tine fork to a manual rolling or petrol-powered aerator. And if you wonder about what to do with the small plugs of soil after the job has been done, you can easily break them down over the lawn surface. Aeration often precedes overseeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Overseeding<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven\u2019t done this job in the autumn, you may well notice some grass thinning in places or outright bald patches on your lawn. To repair these issues, you can disperse new seeds over the lawn surface.

Your turf will absorb every drop of moisture with the help of a wetting agent that is best applied with a sprayer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"section section--single-post\">\n\t<div class=\"note \">\n\t\t<div class=\"note__icon\">\n\t\t\t<i class=\"icon-tip\"><\/i> <!-- \/.icon- -->\n\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.note__icon -->\n\n\t\t<div class=\"note__body\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p><strong>Pro tip:<\/strong> After the application, you need to water profusely your grassed area for getting maximum results.<\/p>\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.note__body -->\n\t<\/div> <!-- \/.note -->\n<\/section> <!-- \/.section section--single-post -->\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Weed control<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Although weed issues with your lawn are associated with winter and spring, when they can overtake dormant or awakening grass, some types of unwanted turf-loving plants can continue giving your problems in the summer, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crabgrass, dandelions and Cats Ear are often the plants that can give you a hard time removing them. You see, it can be tricky to treat your lawn with a selective weed killer during the hot weather, as the substance can burn the actual grass.

So, below, we\u2019ll cover only some of the specifics that you should keep in mind, in order to winterise your turf successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cut the grass a bit shorter<\/strong> &#8211; With the summer heat no longer being a thing to worry about, you can start mowing your lawn at a slightly lower setting. Keep an eye on weeds coming back, however, as shorter grass, especially if distressed during the summer, can promote weed growth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Check if you need to aerate again<\/strong> &#8211; As people use their lawns more in the summer months, <a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/how-to-improve-soil-quality\/\">soil compaction<\/a> can occur at the end of the season. So, it\u2019s recommended that you aerate your turf mid-autumn.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Top dress if you need to<\/strong> &#8211; Again, lawn unevenness, due to its more frequent use in the garden-party-season, is quite common. So, <a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/how-to-topdress-your-lawn\/\">top-dress<\/a> your grassed patch to address this problem. Then, follow the next step.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Overseeding is also a good idea &#8211;<\/strong> Most people prefer to overseed their lawn in the autumn, anyway, before the frost comes. The seeds, especially if they\u2019re the cold-season grass type, have time to sprout into tougher grass blades with stronger roots so that your turf can survive the colder weather.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Feed your lawn<\/strong> &#8211; Use an autumn lawn fertiliser that is low in nitrogen but high in phosphates and potassium. The latter will help your turf withstand frosty conditions. Water your lawn less frequently in the autumn.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"section section--single-post\">\n\t<div class=\"note \">\n\t\t<div class=\"note__icon\">\n\t\t\t<i class=\"icon-tip\"><\/i> <!-- \/.icon- -->\n\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.note__icon -->\n\n\t\t<div class=\"note__body\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<strong>Winter moss prevention tips: <\/strong>Using a fertiliser with high contents of iron in the autumn will help your turf withstand moss build-up during the cooler months.
