Spring is nature’s way of whispering “It’s time to wake up!”
After months of cold weather, your lawn is ready to shake off winter’s slumber and transform it into a lush, green paradise. Just like a sleepy bear emerging from hibernation, your lawn needs a little TLC to thrive.
If you dream of a thick, vibrant lawn by summer, now is the time to act. The right spring lawn care routine can make the difference between a patchy, struggling garden and a supreme green lawn that’s the envy of your neighbours.
Here’s your step-by-step guide to summer lawn preparation – filled with expert tips, eco-friendly lawn care options, and the best lawn treatments to ensure your grass grow strong, healthy, and irresistibly soft underfoot.
Step 1: Clear Winter Debris & Assess Your Lawn
Before any lawn maintenance begins, be sure to start with a clean slate.
- Remove leaves, sticks, and dead grass (thatch) that suffocates new growth.
- Check for bare patches or compacted soil – these areas need extra attention.
Pro Tip: If your lawn feels spongy, it may have too much thatch. A light raking will help air and water reach the roots.
Step 2: Early Spring Aeration – Let Your Lawn Breathe
Compacted Soil is like tight jeans after a 3 course Christmas dinner – uncomfortable and restrictive! Aerating your lawn pokes small holes in the soil, allowing:
- Better oxygen flow
- Stronger root growth
- Improved water and nutrient absorption
Eco-Friendly Option: Use a manual aerator or a garden fork instead of chemical treatments
Step 3: Overseed for a Thicker, Fuller Lawn
Even the healthiest lawns can use a boost. Overseeding fills in the spots and strengthens grass density.
- Best seed choice: Supreme Green Lawn Seed (a premium blend for drought resistance and deep green colour).
- When to seed: Early spring, when soil temps reach 10 to 18 Degrees C
- Water lightly daily until new grass establishes itself.
Step 4: Fertilise Smart – Feed Your Lawn the Right Way
Not all fertilisers are created equal. For thick summer grass, choose an organic slow-release fertiliser for a natural balance. Neem Organic Fertiliser is the perfect choice. This all natural product is packed with earth-friendly goodness.
Give Your Lawn Some Love
For a great lawn that truly impresses the neighbours, a little care goes a long way. Clearing debris, nourishing with the right nutrients, and giving it a boost with seed will result in a lush, thick lawn to be proud of. Does your lawn need some extra love?
