Autumn is the ideal time to restore your lawn after the busy summer months. With cooler temperatures, it's a great opportunity to focus on patching, feeding, and watering your grass.
Proper care now will repair any summer damage and promote healthy growth for the spring, ensuring a lush, vibrant lawn year-round.
SOWING THE SEED
If you're starting a new lawn, preparation is key to successful establishment. Begin by removing any unwanted weeds and grass from the area, then add a 25-30mm layer of Tui LawnForce® Lawn Prep Mix to provide the lawn seed with a base of essential nutrients and fertiliser.
Choose a Tui LawnForce® Superstrike® Lawn Seed here suited to your climate and lawn use. Sow seed on a fine day, rake gently to cover seed and water lightly.
PATCH-UP
Restore your lawn to its previous glory by repairing bare patches with the conveniently sized Tui LawnForce® Superstrike® Patch Pack.
Our Easycare blend germinates in as little as seven days in ideal weather conditions.
REVITALISE & THICKEN
Top-up your tired lawn with essential nutrients for a thick, healthy lawn with less weeds. Apply Tui LawnForce® New Lawns slow release fertiliser before laying lawn seed, or directly after to encourage lush, thick, green growth.
Once established, feed your lawn in spring and autumn with Tui LawnForce® All Purpose slow release fertiliser.
Eliminate weeds
Take control of common broadleaf weeds such as onehunga weed, creeping oxalis, clover, dandelion and more from invading your lawn with Tui LawnForce® Weedkill Slow Release Lawn Fertiliser. Engineered for up to three months sustained feeding.

Moss control
First, find the cause of the moss as it will continue to reappear if the underlying issue isn't fixed. Common causes include: waterlogged or poorly drained soils, too much shade, compacted ground due to heavy use, not enough fertiliser and mowing too short or not frequently enough.
Moss in lawns can be controlled by applying Tui Moss Control or Tui Lawn Fertiliser which both contain Sulphate of Iron. Learn more on moss.
