We help you create pride, comfort, and lasting impressions in every outdoor space
A healthy, green lawn enhances your property’s appearance and creates a welcoming outdoor space. In New Zealand, regular lawn maintenance is essential because grass growth changes with the seasons. Routine mowing helps keep your lawn healthy, thick, and free from weeds and pests.
During spring (September–November), lawns grow quickly, so mowing once or twice a week encourages strong, even growth. In summer (December–February), mow every 7–10 days and keep the grass slightly longer to protect it from the heat. In autumn (March–May), continue regular mowing while preparing your lawn for the cooler months. Winter (June–August) is a key maintenance season—regular mowing, edging, and clearing debris help develop stronger roots and keep your lawn healthy for vigorous growth in spring.
These simple steps will keep your lawn looking lush and healthy throughout the year.

- Never remove more than one-third of the grass height in a single mow
- Keep mower blades sharp for a clean, healthy cut.
- Water deeply once or twice a week rather than lightly every day.
- Apply fertiliser during spring and autumn for stronger roots.
- Remove weeds before they spread across your lawn.
- Aerate compacted soil once or twice a year to improve root growth.
- Leave short grass clippings on the lawn when appropriate, as they return nutrients to the soil.
