All these lawns are achieved with a minimum of cost and minimum input from the client except a quick check of the retic and the odd weed pulled during Mowings.

20.01.2022 Hi everyone I have recently vertimowed my home lawn and have included a couple of pics to show before and after and then there will be updated shots to follow as the lawn regenerates . If you feel your lawn is too spongy or hard to retain the green look as your mower is constantly scalping (removing most of the green leaves) then it maybe time for a vertimow. Stewart 0428538051.

19.01.2022 Good morning All The pics attached to this post are of the latest job completed by Irvines turf maintenance. The irrigation system and plants and stone where supplied and installed by Irvines turf maint the turf was supplied and installed by banksia brook turf farm ( cliff green). If you have any irrigation issues or need a system installed give me a call on 0428538051 . Dont forget no irrigation until the 1 of sept and only run your irrigation if the ground is dry you should still be receiving sufficient water and moisture from the spring falls.

19.01.2022 Tip of the week. If you haven't yet carried it out fertilising is the go right now.

19.01.2022 Tip of the week! Apply wetting agents to your lawns now to maximise the last remaining rains and start building up moisture levels before the heat arrives!

18.01.2022 Time to apply a wetting agent to your lawn these are the premium residential products available from total eden (biagra) and Bunnings (every drop) they both have the ability to improve your moisture filtration rates and then also hold onto the water once its in the ground they both need reapplication monthly.

17.01.2022 Latest install from Irvine's in Westminster. Tip for your lawns we will be soon running out of ground temperature and all warm season varieties will begin to slow down so now is that last chance to fertilise and get the green surface required to get through winter. If you need the knowledge to get your lawn ready and prepped for autumn and winter give me a call on 0428 538 051

16.01.2022 Good evening All Only 2 and a half weeks till sprinklers need to be shut down 1st of June . Now is the ideal time to apply fertiliser soil moisture is increasing and make the most of these last few applications of irrigation to water in a slow release fertiliser that will give the lawn a small amount of nutrient which is all the lawn can utilise in the colder months. If you wish to get more from your fertiliser during winter switch to a water soluble or foliar feed ( nutrien...t is absorbed via the leaf not the roots) This will give you a bigger bang for your buck! As Ive mentioned previously make use of wetting agents during winter as a tool to remove excess moisture by improving soil drainage. If all else fails give me a call on 0428538051 See more

15.01.2022 Hi everyone in facebook land tip off the week is we are fast approaching the end of the ideal renovation season so if anyone is planning on or requiring a verti mow or dethatching to get their lawn looking good for Xmas give me a call on 0428538051 ( buffalo can be vertimowed but only if the operator knows what he's doing).

15.01.2022 Spring is on it's way! Time for a garden cleanup? Contact Stewart : 0428538051

13.01.2022 We have had a very mild start to summer a few hot days but also a few cool days with rain so lawns are holding colour and growth a little longer than usual , now is the ideal time to get your wetting agent down to maintain and build on that residual moisture hanging around in the soil before it gets evaporated away in the hotter months. Biagra is a top quality wetting agent that improves filtration and also improves moisture retention . Available in total eden reticulation st...ores. With out a wetting agent applied monthly you will struggle to maintain a healthy lawn during the up and coming months. As asked by a client recently is wetting agent more important than fertilising YES is the answer with out water moving freely to the roots you have no nutrient or oxygen moving in the soil either. So in todays water restricted environment wetting agent is crucial to maintain your green lawn . See more

07.01.2022 WINTER IS NEARLY HERE Its now time to get that last application of fertiliser down before those last few degrees of ground temperature shut the grasses down for winter and spring. Also dont forget wetting agents not only useful in summer but useful when you have a waterlogged patch of garden or lawn and you need improved drainage to minimise the chances of fungi/disease. Last but not least the biggest problem in winter is the grassy weeds popping up winter grass and rye gr...ass are the most common. Hand weeding and post emergent control will help but the best way to keep them under control is pre emergents to kill the plant as soon as it germinates Give me a call or message me to discuss the options and what will work best in your garden or lawn Stewart Irvine 0428538051 Irvines turf maintenance and garden services .

03.01.2022 Hi Everyone Its getting to that time of year again , time to start looking at pruning roses, trimming shrubs ,bushes ,hedges and renovating your lawns. Basically its time to prep for the growing season when the majority of plants and lawns enter their favourite seasons of the year. Ground temperature increases causing the soil to become alive with microbes and photosynthesis accelerates due to the sun being higher in the sky and more daylight hours. If you feel your garden or lawns needs to be given a fighting chance this year preparation is the key. Give me a call on 0428538051 and lets make your garden the envy of all your neighbours. Stewart

03.01.2022 Hi All I would like to this week ask the question are you having trouble maintaining the lush healthy appearance that so easily happened in the early spring months. Are you watering your lawn and it just keeps showing up with discoloured stressed patches and we haven't even hit summer yet ! For $60 I can attend your home and advise you on how to make that water actually work for your lawn and plants . How to unlock all those nutrients in the soil that your plants can't get t...o, also what fertiliser is going to give you the results you want. Give me a call. Stewart Irvine Irvine's Turf Maintenance and Garden Services 0428538051.

03.01.2022 The temperature is about to start heading up now is the time to apply wetting agents. We have a good moisture level in the soil from the winter rains, now its time to start the work of holding the moisture at as a high a level as possible to assist our lawns and plants thriving when the summer heat comes along. Most importantly run your irrigation and identify any issues as a correctly running reticulation system is the key to a healthy happy lawn and garden. Contact Stewart on 0428 538 051 If you are unsure of whether your reticulation is doing the job it needs to be to keep your gardens happy and healthy .

02.01.2022 Hi All It's that time again the sun and warmer weather are just around the corner . Time to think about verti mowing ,fertilising , weed spraying ( to give your turf a chance to thrive) and most important making sure your irrigation system is ready to fight against the extremes of the summer heat. Maintaining lawn like in the image can be achieved with 2 waterings a week with the right advise and sticking to a program can set you in the right direction to having a lush healthy lawn all summer long. If you need a lawn maintenance specialist that can offer you years of experience and knowledge at residential and commercial level equipment that is fully adjustable to mow your lawn at the height it requires not one height fits all. Then give me a call Stewart on 0428538051 to make your lawn the envy of your neighbours.

02.01.2022 Good afternoon Do you have a lawn that when you walk on it feels like a soft mattress or is sitting an inch or two higher than the kerb or pavers. Well now is the time to correct that if you wish to get a quote or want to discuss if you need a verti-mow. Call 0428538051 Stewart.

02.01.2022 In my last post I mentioned the end of summer approaching fast and how we need to use that last bit of heat to get our lawns ready for winter. Another big issue approaching is winter weeds these are hard to control once they have become evident the main nasties are winter grass and rye grass. The most effective control for these little buggers is to apply a pre emergent herbicide this will stop weeds emerging and will be your most effective tool in controlling the issue ongoing. If this is something you would like a quote for dont hesitate to let me know and I can advise you of the best product for you ! Stewart 0428538051
