Autumn Tips
Autumn Lawn Care with ProLawnsAu
Autumn is the season to set your lawn up for winter success. What you do now will decide whether your lawn stays healthy, green, and ready to bounce back strong in spring. The days get shorter, nights cooler, but your lawn is still active and hungry, making autumn one of the most important times of the year for lawn care.
Fertilising
Cooler temps mean your lawn puts more energy into root growth and overall resilience. Autumn is the perfect time to feed with a fertiliser that has a strong kick of potassium to toughen your grass for the chilly months ahead.
ProLawnsAu’s Turf Tukka is a great year-round option, keeping your lawn ticking along, while Shazza’s No 17.1 is built as an all-rounder that thrives in the cooler months. Apply now and you’ll give your lawn the best chance to stay healthy right through winter.
Lawn Grubs, Armyworm and Other Pests
Autumn is prime time for pests like lawn grubs, cutworm, and armyworm. Left unchecked, they can destroy months of hard work in days.
Keep an eye out for brown patches or birds swooping down to feed—both are signs you might have unwelcome guests. If needed, treat with a trusted insecticide. ProLawnsAu’s Acelepryn 100ml is the go-to for controlling lawn grubs and armyworm without harsh chemicals. One treatment gives months of protection, so you can sleep easy while your lawn stays safe.
Mowing
As the weather cools, let your lawn grow a touch longer. A bit of extra blade length helps with photosynthesis and keeps weeds at bay.
Sharpen those mower blades and make sure the catcher is working properly—nothing ruins a mow like a dodgy catcher blowing clippings everywhere. And remember the golden rule: never cut off more than a third of the leaf at once.
