Secrets to a Successful Lawn:
- Ensure the lawn has adequate nutrition
- Too much nutrition creates excessive growth, promotes disease and can be a waste
- Too little results in poor colour, weaker plants and weeds may start to appear

Mowing
- Mow at regular intervals and in alternate directions
- Never remove more than 1/3rd of the leaf off with each mow
- Rather mow at longer leaf lengths

This helps improve the lawn by:
- Producing deeper roots
- Shading out unwanted weeds
- Maximising photosynthesis especially in shaded areas

Smarter irrigation:
- Irrigate less frequently but with greater duration this enables water to penetrate deeper into the soil
- This encourages the lawn to produce a deep, healthy root system
- Deep soil moisture acts as a reservoir for potentially hot and dry conditions this protects the lawn from drying out

Grass roots:
- Grass roots require oxygen
- Spiking regularly helps the roots access oxygen in the atmosphere
- It also assists with drainage and prevents the roots from becoming water logged
- The end result is a healthier root system
