How do I grow a healthy lawn?

Q.

I have a lawn in the front and back of my house but it's full of weeds and hardly any lawn grass. What can I do to grow a healthy lawn? Thanks.

A.

  • The key to maintaining a healthy lawn is regular watering 2-3 times a week, feeding in spring and autumn and mowing on a high setting.
  • Water 2-3 times a week for 10-15 minutes.
  • Feeding twice a year in spring and autumn, this keeps the lawn actively growing crowding out weeds.
  • Regular mowing on a high setting, only removing one third of the grass height at each mowing this gives the lawn some protection from drought over the hot dry months.
  • By consistently doing this your lawn should start regenerating.
  • To get your lawn back to good health feed with Tui Lawnforce New Lawns as this will stimulate new  grass growth.
  • Depending upon how bad the weed problem is you may need to spray the lawn with a selective weed spray and resow.
  • The best time to do this is in spring or autumn.
  • Lawn weeds prefer a slightly acid soil, apply Tui Lime to help adjust the pH of the soil so weeds are less likely to grow.
