Spring means growth!
After the chilly winter months, your lawn and garden are ready to burst back to life. A little care now will set you up for a lush lawn, vibrant flowerbeds, and outdoor spaces you can really enjoy all season long.
Early fertilising & weed control
The best defence against weeds is a strong, healthy lawn. Start spring by feeding your grass with a quality fertiliser to encourage new growth. At the same time, keep an eye out for weeds – dealing with them early means less competition for nutrients and water. If you’re not sure which products to use, your local garden centre can recommend what works best in your region.
Lawn mowing tips
As temperatures rise, your lawn will bounce back quickly. Begin regular mowing as soon as the grass starts growing. A couple of quick tips:
Always use sharp mower blades to avoid damaging the grass.
Don’t cut too short too soon – gradually reduce the cutting height to strengthen the root system.
Alternate your mowing pattern to keep growth even and reduce compaction.
A steady mowing routine now will help your lawn stay thick, green, and healthy right through summer.
Pruning & planting
Winter can leave behind broken branches, dead growth, or frost damage. Give your garden a tidy-up by trimming back trees and shrubs – it encourages fresh growth and lets more sunlight reach your plants. Spring is also a perfect time for planting. Think about adding:
NZ natives that thrive in local conditions and attract birds and bees.
Colourful flowers like pansies, petunias, or marigolds, for instance, cheer.
Herbs and veggies for a fresh, homegrown supply throughout summer.
