10. Why is lawn coring important for Townsville lawns?

Lawn coring, also known as aeration, is essential for maintaining healthy grass in Townsville’s tropical climate. The region's compacted soils and frequent rainfall can lead to poor drainage and restricted root growth. Coring helps by removing small plugs of soil, allowing water, air, and nutrients to penetrate deeper into the roots. This promotes stronger, greener grass and improves overall lawn resilience, especially during the dry season. Regular coring also reduces thatch buildup and helps prevent common lawn issues like water pooling and poor growth.

Other Questions

11. How often should I get my hedges trimmed in Townsville?

In Townsville’s warm climate, hedges grow quickly and need regular trimming to stay neat and healthy. For most hedges, trimming every 4–8 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) helps maintain their shape and encourages dense, healthy growth. Slower-growing or formal hedges may need trimming every 2–3 months. Regular maintenance prevents overgrowth, reduces pest issues, and keeps your garden looking tidy year-round.

12. When is the best time to fertilise my lawn in Townsville?

The best times to fertilise your lawn in Townsville are early spring and late summer when grass is actively growing. In the tropical climate, warm-season grasses like Couch, Buffalo, and Zoysia benefit from regular feeding every 6–8 weeks to maintain strong, green growth. Using a slow-release fertiliser helps provide consistent nutrients, while liquid fertilisers can give a quick boost. Avoid fertilising during extreme heat or heavy rain to prevent nutrient loss and lawn stress.

13. Why is mulching important for gardens in Townsville?

Mulching is essential for maintaining healthy gardens in Townsville’s hot and tropical climate. A good layer of mulch helps retain soil moisture, reducing the need for frequent watering, especially during the dry season. It also suppresses weeds, regulates soil temperature, and adds organic matter as it breaks down, improving soil health. Using mulch like bark, wood chips, or sugarcane can protect plant roots from extreme heat and heavy rain, keeping your garden looking its best year-round.
