Garden Maintenance

At 1300 4 Gardening, we believe there are five key things to maintaining your garden to an A1 standard!!

1. Regular maintenance is the key to making your garden look amazing.  Even in winter, when growth is much slower, avoid the trap of just letting your garden be.  Regular trimming will promote growth and improve the health of your plants and lawn.

We recommend you do regular trimming to all plants, shrubs and hedges to keep your garden looking spectacular.  Weekly mowing during the growth periods will help promote a healthy lawn. In addition to this, aerating all lawns areas 2 times a year will help the root health (what we can not see under the ground) of the lawn and this will help fill in those bare patches for you. Your lawn will also need a treatment at least 2 times a year with a selective that is best suited to the type of lawn (couch to buffalo, check your local supplier if needed). Top dress the lawn yearly with an organic A1 dress dressing from any local gaarden supplier. 

Please remember that all hedges/shrubs grow from the bottom also and will require a heavy cut back from time to time. 

2. WATER, WATER, WATER.  Often people underestimate the value of water to the health of their plants and lawn.  Of course it would be great if we got consistent rainfall all year round, but unfortunately we don’t, so providing water to your garden areas in low rainfall periods, is highly beneficial.  If you don’t have time to water by hand, irrigation systems can do this for you.

3.  Providing to all garden areas a great fertiliser ie, gardens, fruit trees, vegetable gardens and even the lawn is essential at least twice a year.  While there is exact fertilisers for each area of your garden, ECO88 is a great all round fertiliser that will make a big difference to the health of your outdoor space.

4.  All mulches break down over time and give nutrients back to the earth, which promotes plant growth, especially around fruit trees, herbs or vegetable gardens. There are many mulches available to choose from, so it is important to understand the different varieties and benefits to each.

5.  To ensure the best outcome for your garden areas, ensure you are removing waste correctly.  Grass seed and weeds are very resilient and can easily grow in unwanted areas if you dump clippings in gardens or leave in piles in your backyard. 

This is only the beginning !  The options for your outdoor space are endless.  Imagine a lush, green, sustainable space for the whole family to enjoy. Your children could be learning how to grow fresh food from your garden (the future right there WOW).  You could grow fresh vegetables or herbs for the kids to learn how to plant and pick, harvest from those fruit trees to make unbelievable jams, preserves, or just add them to tonight’s dinner.
