Caring for your Lawn

We all know that weather plays a huge part in the appearance of our lawn. With last year's damp summer, followed by a mild but wet winter most of our lawns will contain a reasonable amount of moss.

Hopefully after last year's  El Niño we will have a drier summer this year.

Here are some simple tips that will help you keep the best looking lawn on your street this year, despite the recent weather conditions.


One of the first things that you can do  to improve its appearance is to help it thrive and return to a healthy, green  state. You definitely don’t want to skip any fertilizer applications this spring or early this summer  as your turf will need it.

Fertilizer is very  important in setting up the lawn to withstand the stress of  summer by giving it the key nutrients it needs to remain healthy under the stress of the sun.

FUZE Products Lawn Care Range feeds the roots of the turf and allows the plant to slowly absorb of all the beneficial nutrients whilst controlling and eliminating moss growth.

Watering the lawn is necessary if we are lucky enough to have a hot, dry summer. Most grass types can withstand some form of drought, but even so it is essential to give the lawn some water.

The process of watering must be carried out correctly. The biggest mistake most homeowners make is irrigating too much. Light, regular watering should be avoided as it can lead to shallow rooting and disease development. Shallow rooting creates a weaker plant that is more prone to environmental stresses, which can result in an increase in lawn diseases. Also, it is important to allow your lawn to dry out from time to time. Keeping it constantly saturated with water can increase the chance of disease, ultimately leading to discoloration and poor visual quality.

When it comes to watering your lawn and helping it look its best, water only when the lawn needs it and be sure to water deeply. Watering deeply in the morning, when your lawn requires it most, will give your turf the opportunity to dry out and therefore prevent lawn diseases in the process.

Mowing promotes a healthy turf, but set the mower blades to high. The longer the grass the deeper the roots and the healthier it will be . This deeper root system will be better equipped to find its own water supply in times of drought.
