It can be difficult to know whether it is best to try and repair a lawn or that the time has come to replace.
When to repair your lawn:
- The lawn is less than 50% of weeds
- While the grass may be a little thin in places or there are some bare patches, the lawn is overall quite healthy
- The lawn only turns brown during severe conditions
What to do:
- Apply a herbicide specific for that type of weeds found in your lawn and the variety of turf you have.
- Apply fertiliser and water in well. This will strengthen the lawn and encourage new growth and self-repairing of the bare patches.
- Replace any larger bare patches with new turf.
- Maintain a regular lawn care plan to ensure the long term health of your lawn.
When to replace your lawn:
- It is over 15 years’ old and consistently diseased
- The lawn is 50% or more of weeds
- The lawn has very poor drainage or water puddles consistently on the surface of the lawn
What to do:
Select and order a variety of turf suitable for your local climate and backyard conditions. See the different varieties of turf ideal for South East Queensland lawns here.
