Weed control for Instant Lawns

Weeds in lawns compete for air, nutrients, light and water. Therefore, eradication is imperative to maintaining a healthy instant lawn.
We have provided the following tips to help reduce the invasion of weeds;
  • Established sites should be sprayed with “Round up” to eradicate all existing weeds if new instant lawns are to be planted.
  • Ensure imported topsoils are clean. While this may seem difficult, use a reputable soil supplier.
  • Select the best instant turf variety that grows well in your area. Have a walk around the neighbourhood and see if you can see what is growing well with minimal inputs.
  • Maintain a healthy lawn, over care can be as detrimental as under care. Balance is the key. Fertiliser, Watering, Aeration etc
  • Removal of weeds by a two prong weeder on a regular basis is also a great way of reducing the need to apply chemicals.

If weeds are still a problem, select the chemical that will eradicate the weed, follow the instructions on the container and apply when the weeds are actively growing.

These tips will keep your instant lawn in great condition for years.
