WINTER LAWN CARE WITH WALLINGTON'S WRG - TIPS ON PRODUCTS, CARE AND ALTERNATIVES
It is the start of the colder months, so now is the ideal time to get your grass in tip-top shape before it gets too hot! Wallington's WRG is here to assist you with all your landscaping needs from tools, lawn seeds and even bulk landscape supplies.
Service Your Equipment
Whether you have a lawn mower, whipper snipper or irrigation system, these items need regular maintenance. Winter is the perfect time to give those mower blades a good clean and check your mower's oil levels if you are not using a battery-operated mower. At Wallington's WRG, we stock a range of accessories and repair equipment for lawn mowers. Including spark plugs, mower oil, new blades and mufflers.
Avoiding Compaction
Summer is all about getting out there and enjoying the sunshine on a beautiful lawn. From cricket pitches or backyard football arenas. So, when winter comes around and everyone is normally indoors, your lawns could use a bit of aeration. DeWit has a range of tools to help aerate the lawn every few weeks to help your lawn thrive over the wet season. Leaving small air holes in the lawn will also help water absorption during massive rainstorms and as snow cover melts coming into spring
Winter Friendly Lawn Alternatives
If you would rather spend your weekends enjoying the backyard without all the maintenance, it is worth checking out some of the amazing lawn alternatives. You can choose from either Artificial Grass or Instant Lawn.
You can check our detailed article about both Artificial Grass vs Instant Lawn. It boils down to two very solid and eco-friendly options that require little to no maintenance once the lawn has been installed/established.
You can even decide which style of lawn you’d desire. For something other than regular blades of grass, Dichorndra makes for an amazing alternative. You have seen clover lawn ideas all over the internet and may have become inspired to make the switch from a regular grass lawn. The Dichondra lawn seed is by far the best alternative to a lawn for Australian climates. It is both sun and frost-resistant and is an absolute conversation starter for any courtyard or space around steppingstones. To learn more about Dichorndra lawns, check out our article on it here
