Autumn Lawn & Garden Tips – Central Coast Edition
As the weather cools down, now’s the perfect time to give your lawn and garden a bit of attention before winter sets in. A little effort now can make a huge difference come spring.
Here’s what you can be doing right now:
Keep mowing (but not too short)
Grass is still growing, just slower. Raise your mower height slightly to keep your lawn healthy and better protected from weeds and cold stress.
Stay on top of leaves
Fallen leaves can smother your lawn and create damp patches. Regular blowing or raking keeps things tidy and lets your grass breathe.
Feed your lawn
An autumn fertiliser helps strengthen roots over winter, leading to a thicker, greener lawn when the warmer months return.
W**d control now pays off later
Tackle weeds early before they spread. Less competition now means a stronger lawn later.
Light pruning and garden clean-up
Trim back overgrowth, remove dead plants, and tidy garden beds. It keeps everything healthy and makes maintenance easier heading into winter.
Adjust your watering
With cooler temps, your lawn needs less water. Overwatering can lead to fungus and patchy grass.
