Shaded Lawn Areas

Sir Walter, Tall Fescue

Shade is one of lawns greatest enemies. We all love a large tree and the shade it provides to protect us from the hot sun but what can be done about the bare areas under the tree?

A few tips:
  • Increase mowing height for greater root depth
  • Remove lower hanging limbs to allow more sun light to reach the turf
  • Regularly fertilise
  • Select the correct turf
The options are fairly limited for shaded areas and the following instant lawns will have the greatest chance to survive and prosper.
