Know exactly what your lawn needs throughout the year.
Melbourne's four distinct seasons each bring different challenges for lawn care. By following a seasonal maintenance schedule, you can keep your lawn healthy year-round while avoiding common problems like summer burn, winter disease, and patchy growth.
This calendar is tailored for warm-season grasses common in Melbourne's western suburbs, including Buffalo, Kikuyu, and Couch varieties.
Your lawn wakes up! Peak growing season begins as temperatures rise. This is the ideal time to address winter damage and prepare for summer.
Heat stress is your main enemy. Focus on protecting your lawn from drought and extreme temperatures. Water deeply but less frequently.
Second growing peak as temperatures cool. Ideal time for renovation, overseeding, and preparing your lawn for winter dormancy.
Growth slows significantly. Warm-season grasses may brown off. Focus on minimal maintenance and avoiding damage to dormant lawns.
Let us handle your seasonal lawn care. Regular maintenance plans available across all western suburbs.
