Get your lawn ready for endless hours of fun with these simple weekend tasks.

Lawn mowers at the ready!

Weekends are often accompanied by the hum of mowers and the smell of fresh cut grass. To get the best results, follow the one-third rule: try not to cut off more than one-third of the grass each time you mow. A taller, thicker lawn helps to smother out pesky weeds and mowing on a higher setting also encourages deeper roots, which are more able to cope with stressful weather conditions.

The need to weed

Weeds are a lawn lover’s worst nightmare. Controlling weeds is always the trickiest part of lawn care – weeding by hand may spread dormant seeds or leave part of the root in the ground, causing more weeds to grow; traditional lawn weed killers need to be applied to the whole lawn, which can be time-consuming. Roundup For Lawns is the new, ready-to-use spot spray that tackles lawn weeds with visible results in just seven days.

Greener… thicker… healthier

The key to the lawn of your dreams (and becoming the envy of your neighbours) is a healthy dose of fertiliser. Scotts Lawn Builder provides your lawn with all the essential nutrients it needs for strong and healthy growth, all season long. Feeding your lawn is easy: simply grab your Scotts Hand Held Fertiliser Spreader and a bag of Scotts Lawn Builder All Purpose Slow Release Fertiliser, and get those steps up!

Looking patchy?

It there are still a few dead patches around after you've put the time and effort into your lawn, add a thin layer of Scotts Lawn Builder Organic Lawn Soil Topdress & Underlay. This will bring some much-needed life back into the soil, giving grass roots a healthy home to sink themselves into.

Our range doesn’t stop there!
