Hello garden lovers.
Well summer is meant to be over but how lucky are we with our beautiful NZ weather – still beautiful days for lounging in the garden.
However we are now into autumn and Autumn is the very best time for creating a new lawn as the ground is warm while the air is cooler and moist.
There are two ways to create a new lawn; sow it from seed or use ready-made turf.
Using seed involves careful sowing, a few weeks of watering, and then careful mowing. Instant lawn can be laid at any time but still needs careful watering to establish its root system.
Creating a beautiful lawn not only helps add value to your property it provides an attractive space for entertaining, for relaxing and an area for children to play.
