Year-round lawn maintenance in Brisbane
The lawn looked great after it was last done, and now it's thinning, patchy or full of weeds again. Lawn maintenance is the work that stops the slide: each treatment timed to the season, and planned after we've had a proper look at the grass and the soil.

Why lawns go backwards in South East Queensland
Lawns rarely fail for one reason. Usually a few small problems stack up over a couple of seasons until the grass can't keep up. These are the ones we see most around Brisbane, Logan and the Gold Coast:
- Soil packed hard by foot traffic, dogs and cars, so water runs off
- A spongy layer of thatch choking couch and kikuyu
- Grass that's hungry after a season of strong growth and heavy rain
- Broadleaf weeds, bindii and summer grasses filling the thin spots
- Grubs, armyworm or fungal patches that go unnoticed until the damage shows
- Mowing too low, or light daily watering that keeps roots shallow
Fix one and ignore the rest, and the lawn never quite comes good. Our job is to work out which of these apply to yours.
Lawn going backwards and not sure why?
We'll look at the grass, the soil and the weeds, tell you what's actually causing the problem, and lay out what to do about it. Jobs from $220.
What lawn maintenance looks like across the seasons
Couch, kikuyu, buffalo and zoysia do their growing in the warm months, so most of the work is timed around spring and summer.
Spring
September to November
Renovation season: core compacted soil, scarify out thatch, top dress and give the first proper feed. Pre-emergent for summer grass goes down early, timed so the coring doesn't break up its barrier.
Summer
December to February
Feed through the main growing period, mow often and a little higher, and water deeply rather than daily. Watch for grubs and armyworm, and spot spray summer grasses.
Autumn
March to May
A last feed carries the lawn into winter. Pre-emergent for bindii and winter grass, a second coring for busy lawns, and a watch for fungal disease as nights turn cool and damp.
Winter
June to August
Growth slows right down. Spot spray winter weeds before bindii sets its prickles, and test the soil so the spring work is planned properly.
Doing some of it yourself? Our grass maintenance tips cover the basics of getting a lawn ready for spring.
What we do, and what you do
Some jobs need machinery and know-how. Others are habits that keep the lawn healthy in between.
What we handle
- Aeration and coring for compacted soil
- Scarifying and dethatching to clear built-up thatch
- Top dressing to level hollows and build better soil
- Fertilising matched to the grass type and season
- Weed control, including pre-emergent
- Grub and pest treatment when damage shows up
- Overseeding thin couch and kikuyu, and re-turfing patches past saving
What you handle
- Mowing often, taking no more than a third of the leaf at a time
- Keeping mower blades sharp so the grass is cut, not torn
- Watering deeply in the morning, less often, so roots go down
- Keeping traffic off when the lawn is wet or freshly treated
- Telling us when something changes, like dead patches appearing
Our guide to watering and feeding grass has more on getting both right.
Three ways to keep on top of it
The right one depends on the lawn, your budget and how much you'd rather do yourself.
One-off seasonal work
Book us when the lawn needs it: a spring renovation, an autumn feed and weed treatment, or a grub treatment when damage appears.
A scheduled program
Feeding, weed control and pest checks every eight weeks, planned around your grass. See how our regular lawn service works and who it suits.
Renovate, then DIY
A thorough lawn renovation in spring, then you take it from there with our advice on feeding, mowing and watering.
