Lawn Care

SPRING

.

If not already completed, weed control is essential as early as possible in September as Cape Weed in particular starts to flower and take over the lawn, Use a spray that is specifically recommended for the type of grass in your lawn. It may be necessary to spray twice at an interval of four weeks to kill the big “Old Man” Capeweed or remove them by hand. It will then be essential to repair the gap left behind with new seed.or turf.

If the predicted very hot summer arrives, it may be necessary to use any installed sprinklers, so it pays to check that they are functioning correctly before needed. Ants often block the nozzles with their activity during winter.

Keep mower blades high during summer to prevent drying out.
