Seasonal lawn support
A Harrison lawn across the four seasons
Harrison’s lawns follow the Canberra pattern, sharpened a little by the open ground. Winter frosts from May to September put the buffalo and couch to sleep and the colour drains out; only the fescue keeps growing slowly and wants the odd cut. Spring brings the wettest weather of the year in September and October, and Harrison’s clay holds it, so the first mow of the season is often a slow one and the first feed waits for the soil to pass 14 degrees in mid-October. Summer is heat and westerlies over streets whose trees are still small: mow high, water deep and early, and remember the ACT rule of no sprinklers between 9am and 6pm in daylight saving. Autumn is a second flush of growth, a potassium feed before the late-April frosts and the right time to overseed fescue or core the compacted clay before it locks up for winter.
We mow right across the Gungahlin district — Harrison, Franklin, Gungahlin, Mitchell, Amaroo, Bonner, Forde, Crace, Casey, Ngunnawal, Nicholls and Moncrieff — and across the wider Gungahlin area. Nearby? Ask and we will sort a local operator.
