What if you could sink your toes into a soft, vibrant lawn as you soak up the sun and the stunning coastal views of the Northern Beaches? A lush, healthy lawn is like the pillar holding any beautiful garden together, but achieving that picture-perfect look takes more than just a quick mow.

Let’s get into lawn mowing tips to keep your Northern Beaches lawns pristine. 

7 Secrets to a Thriving Lawn

At HortCulture, we’re passionate about creating lawns that thrive in the unique environment. Here are our pro tips to help you transform your lawn into the envy of your neighbours:

1. Mow High, Mow Often: Contrary to popular belief, cutting your grass too short could potentially stress it out and make it more susceptible to disease and weeds. Aim for a higher mowing height (around 3-4 cm) and mow more frequently to encourage denser growth and a healthier lawn.
2. Sharp Blades for a Clean Cut: Blunt mower blades tear the grass, leaving it vulnerable and exposed to disease. Use a new mower blade for a clean, precise cut that promotes faster healing and a healthier lawn.
3. Vary Your Mowing Pattern: To maintain a healthy lawn, consider altering your mowing pattern. This can help prevent soil from becoming too tightly packed and promote upright grass growth.
4. Water Wisely: Deep, infrequent watering is key to encouraging strong root growth. Water early in the morning to minimise evaporation and allow the water to reach the roots before the heat of the day.
5. Feed Your Lawn: Just like us, lawns need nutrients to thrive. Fertilise regularly with a slow-release fertiliser to provide essential nutrients and promote healthy growth.
6. Aerate for Healthy Roots: Aerate your lawn once or twice a year, especially if you have compacted soil. This keeps air, water and nutrients flowing naturally to the roots, promoting healthier growth.
7. Tackle Weeds and Pests: Stay vigilant for weeds and pests that can damage your lawn. Use organic weed control methods whenever possible and address pest problems promptly.
