Commercial and residential mowing, pest and weed spraying, fertiliser and wetting agents, and reticulation and pumps kept running.
Maintain
Fixed schedule, year round
Scheduled mowing for strata complexes, businesses and commercial grounds. Your site gets mowed on a set round so it always looks looked after, without you having to chase anyone up.
Every visit includes edges and trimming, and paths and hard surfaces blown clean before we leave.
Maintain
Weekly or fortnightly in the growing season
Regular mowing for home lawns, at the right height for your grass. We take no more than a third of the blade at a time, keep blades sharp and change direction, so the lawn stays thick and does not rut or scalp.
Edges and trimming are included, and clippings are cleaned up off paths and driveways.
Maintain
Weeds compete with your lawn for water and nutrients, and pests can strip a healthy lawn in days. We identify the problem first, then treat it with a product that suits both the weed or pest and your turf type, because some sprays that suit Couch will damage Buffalo.
Common jobs are bindii, clover, winter grass and nutgrass, along with lawn grub, armyworm and African black beetle.
Maintain
Mainly spring and autumn
Lawns need nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium for strong roots, good colour and resistance to pests and disease. We apply them in the right balance at the right time, and we do not over-do it: over-fertilising wastes money and builds spongy thatch.
Perth sand turns hydrophobic, even through winter, so water runs off or sits on top. Regular soil wetting agents get water soaking in evenly, and humic acid helps sandy soil hold onto water and nutrients.
Maintain
Before summer, and whenever something stops
Dry patches, soggy spots, high water bills and sprinklers that spray the fence are nearly always a reticulation problem, not a lawn problem. We service and repair reticulation systems so every part of the lawn gets the water it needs, and nothing gets wasted.
That covers sprinklers, drippers, valves, controllers, leaks and broken pipe, plus bore pumps and pressure systems: servicing, diagnosing faults and replacing pumps when they are past saving. We service regular rounds for commercial sites and one-off call-outs for homes and farms.
Maintain FAQ
Yes, and it is common. Too much fertiliser wastes money and builds thatch, which makes lawns thick and spongy and stops water and nutrients reaching the soil.
It helps water soak into the soil evenly instead of running off or beading on hydrophobic sand. That means fewer dry patches, less runoff and deeper roots. Lawns can turn hydrophobic in winter as well as summer.
Usually weekly or fortnightly through the growing season, depending on the grass and how it is used, and less often over winter when warm-season lawns slow right down. Commercial sites are mowed on a fixed schedule.
Common lawn weeds such as bindii, clover, winter grass and nutgrass, and pests such as lawn grub and African black beetle. The product is matched to the problem and to your turf type, because some sprays that suit Couch will damage Buffalo.
We run every zone, check and adjust sprinklers and drippers, clear blocked nozzles and filters, find and fix leaks and broken fittings, test valves and the controller, and set the program to suit the season and your watering days. For bores we check the pump, pressure and any filters as well.
Water deeply and less often, early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Mow regularly, take off no more than a third of the blade at a time, keep blades sharp and change your mowing direction.
