Lawn care across Brisbane Southside
Lawn gone thin under the trees, spongy underfoot or bare along the paths, however much you feed it? On the southside the usual culprits are decades of wear, shade from mature trees and new turf on compacted fill. We'll find which one is behind yours and lay out the work to fix it.

Why older southside lawns go backwards
In suburbs like Mount Gravatt, Mansfield, Wishart and Sunnybank, many lawns have been down for decades. In that time the clay packs hard, couch and kikuyu build a thick mat of old runners, and the trees planted with the house grow until they shade half the yard. More water or fertiliser won't fix any of that.
- Grass thinning under trees and along shady fence lines
- A spongy, springy feel underfoot
- Bare tracks where people and dogs walk every day
- Surface roots the mower keeps hitting
- Weeds and moss filling the thin, shady patches
Newer estates in Rochedale and Pallara have a different problem: young turf laid over compacted builder's fill on small blocks, with roots that never got far into the soil.
Lawn thinning out under the trees?

Lawn care that suits southside yards
Most southside jobs come down to one or more of these, and we price only the work your lawn needs.
Thatch in older lawns
Years of runners build a mat that sheds water and traps fertiliser before it reaches the soil. Dethatching and scarifying cuts it out. Couch and kikuyu take a firm pass; soft-leaf buffalo gets a lighter one.
Compacted clay and fill
Decades of feet and mowers, or a builder's compactor, squeeze the air out of the soil. Core aeration pulls plugs so water and roots can get down, and top dressing fills the holes and evens out the hollows.
Shade and tree roots
Grass under a big canopy competes with the tree for light and water. We core around surface roots, scale back the fertilising to suit slower growth, and suggest mowing a little higher so the grass keeps more leaf.
Many lawns need two or three of these in one visit. Our lawn renovation page explains the order we do them in, and our guide to core aeration goes deeper on compaction.
A narrow side gate is rarely a problem
Older southside homes often have a single narrow path down the side of the house, and new homes on small lots can be tighter still. Our Toro stand-on core aerator fits through most side gates, so the backyard gets the same treatment as the front.
