Now is a great time to focus on getting your lawn into shape before the cooler temperatures really start to set in.

In this video, we look at some autumn lawn care products that are great to use when preparing your lawn for winter.

If you have a warm-season turf variety like buffalo, Kikuyu, zoysia or couch, your grass will slow in growth as the soil temperatures drop below 14 degrees.

This means that if your lawn is unhealthy and nutrient-poor, it will go into winter unprepared for the colder conditions. This will leave it susceptible to winter weeds, compaction, shade-related issues and frost.

Lawn Nutrition

Now is an important time to address these deficiencies and prepare your lawn with the nutrients it needs during the cooler months. Any easy way to provide these nutrients is by applying a balanced fertiliser like Lawn Solutions Premium Fertiliser.

This fertiliser contains micro-nutrients and trace elements that will replace the important elements that may have been lost over the summer, along with the nutrients that your lawn needs for the coming cooler months.

Lawn Solutions Premium Lawn Fertiliser was developed specifically for use on Sir Walter DNA Certified Soft Leaf Buffalo and works equally well on other lawn varieties.

You can also look to include liquid nutrition if preferred, Exceed Liquid Fertiliser is a premium, professional foliar fertiliser. It will be absorbed quickly for fast improvement but will need to be applied more frequently. It’s a great product to use in combination with seasonal granular applications.

Exceed is ideal for correcting nutrient deficiencies quickly, addressing stress-related issues or for a general boost to overall health for all lawn varieties.

Weed Treatments & Prevention

Autumn is a great time to get on top of any weeds that have come through your lawn over the summer.

As we start to head into winter, your grass will start to become dormant and slow down in its growth. However, this is not the same case for weeds as many of them will still continue to grow into the cooler months.

To get control over these weeds, identify them first and apply an appropriate herbicide if available or remove by hand.

Now is the time to also apply a pre-emergent herbicide and target weeds before they begin to appear, especially winter grass.

Lawn Solutions OxaFert and Oxafert Plus are pre-emergent herbicides for control of many annual grasses and broad-leaf weeds in warm season turf. Oxafert will kill stubborn winter weeds before they appear.

A 3kg bag of Oxafert treats up to 100m2 or the 20kg Oxafert Plus will treat 660sqm and also has an added insecticide component.

If you have already noticed some winter grass in your lawn, you will need to remove it by hand or use a winter grass killer post-emergent herbicide.

Lawn Colour Enhancement

If you are looking to provide a boost in colour and turf strength, Iron Guard Plus is a liquid bio-stimulant containing iron that will maximise turfgrass colour retention and promote lateral growth, making it ideal for improved winter dormancy transition.

You can apply Iron Guard Plus monthly when active growth is present or when nutrient deficiency symptoms are visible to maintain even growth and colour for your lawn.
