Revamping your lawn is a great way to upgrade your property without breaking the bank. You can transform your lawn into a lush, green oasis with a little elbow grease.

The first step is to assess the condition of your existing lawn. Look for bare spots, thinning areas, or areas infested with weeds. Then, you can start planning your revamp.

Mow Your Lawn

An affordable and easy way to improve your lawn is by regularly mowing it. Mowing your lawn low at around 20 mm will remove thatch and moss and help keep it looking neat and tidy. 

Invest in Fertiliser

Encourage healthy growth by investing in fertiliser. You can purchase a good fertiliser at your local gardening store for a budget-friendly price. Make sure it has the three essential macronutrients your soil needs: nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

Remove Weeds

If your lawn is plagued by weeds, another budget-friendly solution is to use a weed killer. Many organic options are effective and affordable. Mix white vinegar, salt, and dish soap for an effective at-home solution. You can also try pulling out weeds by hand, which can be great exercise while working on your lawn. If the weeds are deeply rooted, they can be killed with boiling water.

Add Some Colour

If you want to give your lawn some colour, plant flowers of different sizes, shapes and colours. They can be planted in pots, beds, borders, or containers. You can purchase flower seeds or seedlings at your local gardening store. 

Another way to add colour to your lawn is by adding mulch. Mulch is an organic material, such as leaves or bark, spread over the surface of the soil. Weeds can’t grow on it because it helps retain moisture. Plus, it gives your lawn a finished look.

Fix Bare Patches

Finally, if you have bare spots on your lawn, consider reseeding those areas. We recommend Buffalo grass seed for NSW backyards. 

Remember to work in stages so you don’t break the bank in one go and to give your lawn the proper care and attention it needs.
