Seasonal lawn support
A Rivett lawn year on the edge of the district
Rivett takes the Canberra year with an edge-of-suburb twist. From May to September the frosts put couch and kikuyu to sleep, and the only lawns still growing are the fescue ones on the shaded, south-facing sides, which want an occasional winter cut. The wettest months, September and October, turn the soft ground through the centre of the suburb to mud and the parkland edges green up first; once the soil holds above 14 degrees in mid-October we core, feed and lay pre-emergent for summer grass. November is when the outer streets get their dry-grass tidy-up. Through January the westerlies come across the open land without much to slow them, so we mow high and the lawn gets two or three deep soaks a week before 9 am. Autumn is the second flush, the potassium feed before the late-April frosts and the window for repairing worn patches along the fence line.
We mow right across Weston Creek — Rivett, Chapman, Duffy, Holder, Stirling, Fisher, Waramanga, Weston, Stromlo, Coombs, Wright and Denman Prospect — and across the wider Weston Creek district. Nearby? Ask and we will sort a local operator.
