Caring for your lawn across the seasons supports its health, appearance, and resilience. New Zealand’s climate means conditions vary significantly between regions and seasons.
In spring, focus on feeding and mowing. Fertilise to support growth, and increase mowing frequency as temperatures rise. Late spring is also a good time to overseed patchy areas.
Summer brings heat stress and potential dryness. Water early in the day, mowing higher to reduce moisture loss. Avoid fertilising in very hot conditions.
Autumn is ideal for lawn repair and weed control. Cooler weather supports root development, making it the right time to apply lawn food and carry out aeration.
Regular attention to seasonal needs keeps your lawn in top condition. Even small tasks, like cleaning up clippings or adjusting mower height, make a difference over time.
