So proud of our association. Two of our members supported this trade show, as Father and daughter teams.
It’s wonderful to our young women in the industry succession planning into their family farms.
Good on you Adrian and Darcie Pitsikas from Greenacres Turf Group and Terry Sellick and his daughter Alira, from Lawn Doctor, for being at this event sharing information on turf grass varieties and providing free giveaways.
I’m so proud of our industry! There is always camaraderie and friendship, and never competitive behaviours. All of our members have great ethic and integrity and care about each other. Always giving a hand to each other, sharing equipment, advise and jobs. They’re rippers! And they provide the best turf always.

This morning our lawned area hosted a number of birds! The sweet song of morning and life was amazing. I wasn’t lucky enough to get good photo’s of these beautiful creatures on the lawn, whilst the sprinklers were on, but I can tell you that we had; Pardalopes, 28’s, Smokers, Silver Eyes, Galahs, two beautiful red tailed cockatoos, Red Cap Parrots, Main Geese, Wattle Birds, Magpies, a Grey Fantail and even a good old Raven. All enjoying a morning wash, and telling the world how good it is to be alive!
What a wonderful world we live in! So blessed to be able to support nature and biodiversity just by having a healthy garden and lawn.
The galahs and 28’s aerate the lawn. The Maggie’s see the moths and get into their caterpillars. We never spray a chemical thanks to the eco system we have in place.
I only wish I could’ve captured photos to show you all. 😞

Spring is here ☀ which means it may be time to Dethatch your lawn. Your lawn becomes spongy and matted due to thatch (a layer of living stems and roots that accumulate between the soil and surface of your grass), typically over a 12-18 month period. It can be removed in Couch or Kikuyu lawns by using a vertimower or slowly reducing the height of your mower and ‘scalping’ it of the majority of, or all of the leaf 🌱
For Buffalo lawns you MUST leave the surface runners of the turf – reduce in stages if you can, or call our team for advice on 9525 8822.
