What’s the difference between your 3 programs?

Classic is where every lawn starts. 22 mows and edges a year, 5 granular feeds, and broadleaf and grass weed treatments. Advanced adds insect and fungus treatments and a spring aeration. Signature adds an autumn aeration too, plus our custom liquid fertiliser program.

Which program suits my lawn?

Classic keeps it tidy and green. Advanced adds treatments for grubs, fungus and compaction. Signature is our premium program for people who want their lawn looking its best all year. Fill out the quote form and we’ll recommend one.

How much does lawn care cost in Adelaide?

Every lawn’s different, so every quote’s worked out for your yard. Pricing is based on the size of the lawn and the program you choose. Fill out the quote form and we’ll send you a quote.

What changes the price?

Mostly the size of the lawn, which we price by the square metre, and the program you pick. How many areas there are and how many obstacles there are also play a part.

How does monthly billing work?

Programs are billed monthly. Your bill goes out at the start or middle of the month, depending on when your program started.

Can I just get a one-off mow?

No, sorry. Every lawn we look after is on a program, with Classic as the minimum.

How often do you mow?

Fortnightly from 1 September to 1 June, then every 3 weeks through winter.

Why less often in winter?

The grass barely grows when it’s cold, so every 3 weeks keeps it tidy.

Do you take the clippings away?

Not usually. We leave them in your green bin or a spot on the property you’re happy with. If you’d rather we take them away, we can do that for a bit extra.

Do you service my suburb?

We do anywhere along the coast from Henley Beach down to Yankalilla, and across from Burnside down to Marion. Check our suburbs list or fill out the quote form and we’ll let you know.

Why is my lawn going brown?

Usually it’s not enough water in the heat, grubs, fungus, thatch or hard compacted soil. It happens to buffalo, kikuyu and couch alike. We’ll work out which one it is when we come out.

Should I fix my lawn or re-turf it?

Most lawns can be brought back with a lawn renovation, which includes scarifying, aeration, top dressing, fertiliser and wetting agents. If it’s too far gone, we can look at a turf install.

What’s the difference between scarifying and scalping?

Scarifying cuts down into the lawn vertically and pulls out the thatch. Scalping just cuts it low across the top, so it can’t get through deep thatch or through the crown level.

What’s the difference between hollow tine and solid tine aeration?

Hollow tine pulls out small cores of soil. That relieves compaction, lets water, air and fertiliser get down to the roots, and makes room for top dressing. Solid tine pokes holes without taking soil out, so it’s better in the wetter months.

When’s the best time to scarify or aerate?

Scarifying is done in the warmer months, usually from mid September to as late as mid February. We hollow tine from spring to mid autumn and solid tine in the wetter months.

How do I get rid of weeds?

Every program includes two broadleaf and two grass weed treatments per year.

How often should my lawn be fertilised?

Our programs include 5 granular feeds per year: the first 2 weeks of September, December and March, and the last 2 weeks of October and April. Signature adds our fortnightly liquid program on top.

What turf do you lay?

All buffalo, kikuyu and couch varieties, supplied by Paul Munns Instant Lawn.
