As the cooler months roll in across Australia, many homeowners notice their once vibrant lawns starting to lose their lustre. The dropping temperatures, reduced sunlight, and changing weather patterns can leave even the healthiest grass looking tired and stressed. But here’s the good news: winter doesn’t have to mean saying goodbye to a beautiful lawn and our winter warmer lawn care pack is here with all the important products to help you make sure of this!
Why winter lawn care matters
While it’s true that most grass varieties slow their growth during winter, this dormant period is actually the perfect time to give your lawn the extra care and attention it needs. Think of winter as your lawn’s recovery season – a time when the right nutrients and treatments can strengthen the root system and prepare your grass for a spectacular spring comeback.
Many Australian homeowners make the mistake of neglecting their lawns during winter, assuming that less growth means less maintenance. However, this hands-off approach often leads to weak, patchy grass that struggles to bounce back when warmer weather returns.
Winter warmer pack
Our Winter Warmer lawn care pack takes the guesswork out of cold-weather lawn maintenance. We’ve carefully selected products that work together to address the specific challenges your lawn faces during the cooler months. Rather than purchasing individual products and wondering if you’re doing enough, this comprehensive pack gives you everything you need in one convenient bundle.
Weed Control
Weeds are inevitable throughout winter. When your lawn slows in growth it’s vulnerable to weed infiltrations. That’s why we recommend a two-pronged approach to winter weed control.
First, we recommend a weed pre-emergent such as Oxafert to target weed seedlings before they take hold. This is your first defence when weeds threaten your winter lawn and is best applied in Autumn prior to the cooler weather.
But if weeds do find their way in it’s always a good idea to have a good broad-spectrum broadleaf weed control on hand. We recommend the easy to use hose on All Purpose Weed Control.
Winter Colour
Are you looking for a way to help extend your lawns colouring throughout the cooler months? Well, iron might be your answer! The main benefit of using iron is to help improve your lawns colouring, especially when lawns are entering dormancy.
When used going into and out of winter dormancy, Iron Guard Plus can maximise turf colour and strength, setting your lawn up for a perfect spring.
If you do lose some colour in your lawn, which is completely normal, there is a way to bring it back quickly and easily. ColourGuard Plus is a natural grass pigment that absorbs into the leaf of your lawn, instantly enhancing your lawns natural green colour.
Just one application can give your lawn up to three months of great colour. Colourguard Plus comes in a convenient hose on bottle and is our favourite winter product.
We understand that lawn care can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re not sure what products to use or when to apply them. The Winter Warmer pack simplifies the process and will keep your lawn looking lush throughout winter and ready for its first cricket game in spring.
