💦 Smart Watering = Happy Roots

When the sun’s blazing and rain is scarce, your lawn can quickly become thirsty. During dry spells, aim to water once or twice a week. It’s better to give your grass a deep soak than frequent light sprinkles — this encourages the roots to grow deeper, making your lawn more resilient in the long run.

Pro Tip: Water in the early morning or late evening to reduce evaporation and make the most of every drop.

✂️ Mow Like a Pro

Weekly mowing keeps your lawn neat and encourages thick, healthy growth. But when temperatures soar, it’s time to ease up a bit. Raise your mower blades slightly to leave the grass a bit longer — this helps shade the soil, keeping it cooler and better protected from heat stress.

🍃 Clear the Clippings

After mowing, it’s best to collect and remove grass clippings. Leaving them behind can make your lawn look messy and may even spread unwanted weed seeds. A quick tidy-up keeps things looking sharp and prevents problems before they start.

Enjoy the Season, Love Your Lawn

With just a little effort, your lawn can stay lush and green all summer long. Water wisely, mow mindfully, and keep things tidy — your grass will thank you, and your garden will stay the perfect summer retreat.

If you have recently moved to a brand new property, your lawn will need a bit of extra TLC. To prevent the newly-laid lawn from drying out or dying, the whole lawn will need watering daily for about 8 weeks. The best watering times are either in the morning or in the evening when the sun isn’t too strong. Please refrain from walking on the turf for up to 3 weeks too, this is all to ensure your lawn has a healthy, happy life while you are residing at the property!
