Canterbury lawns live a dramatic life: lush spring growth, dry nor'west summers, and frosty winters. The secret is adjusting care to the season. In autumn, keep mowing while grass grows, clear fallen leaves before they smother the lawn, and feed so roots store energy for winter. Winter mowing drops right back; just keep the lawn clear and off it during heavy frosts.
Spring is the payoff season. Raise the mower for early cuts, feed as growth resumes, and deal with broadleaf weeds while they are young and vulnerable. Edges creep fast in spring, so redefine them early and the whole property looks sharper instantly. Our regular mowing and edging plans flex with the season so your lawn never gets scalped in a growth flush or left shaggy before a frost.
Summer is about survival with style. Mow higher to shade the soil, leave clippings to mulch moisture back in, and water deeply but infrequently in the cool of the morning if you water at all. Brown patches in February are usually dormancy, not death; consistent care brings most Canterbury lawns straight back with autumn rain. Pair steady mowing with seasonal feeding and your lawn stays the envy of the street. For help in any season, call 027 454 1998.
