It all begins again in Spring and that’s why now is the perfect time to take a moment to think about your lawn. Think back to last warm season: were you delighted with your lawn? Or do you think it might be time to consider laying new turf?

It’s browner. It’s patchier. It’s just not inviting any more. (If you want to know why, read our blog "*[Why Winter is a Problem for Lawns - and What You Can Do About It](https://www.greenlifeturf.com.au/blog/why-winter-is-a-problem-for-lawns-and-what-you-can-do-about-it)*".) But the truth is this: it’s not just winter that causes lawns to look depressed - and usually that means that your lawn isn’t in its peak condition. Just like taking care of any living thing, your lawn is probably asking you for help. Let's get to know your lawn and what it could be asking you for using some common lawn problems.

It was no exception on our Green Life Turf farm where our team were up at dawn’s crack to start dealing with the problem. The last few weeks of (mostly) sunshine should have dried most lawns out a little by now, but we may be in for more rain and as the sun continues to get weaker and weaker, our lawns are in for another brutal cold season. With predictions of a lot more rainfall to come this winter, there won’t be many opportunities to do much about it. So what do we recommend on our farm for turf lovers in our Sydney climate?

You want your yard to show off the beautiful lush, green lawns of summer, but the cold weather combined with shorter daylight hours means your warm-season grass will go dormant in winter and begin to lose its colour. The problem doesn’t end there. As your grass turns shades lighter, it attracts less sunlight and soil temperatures continue to decline, further contributing to your lawn’s state of hibernation. But while your lawn will naturally take on a shade of brown - and the colder your climate, the more colour it will lose - and its growth will slow down, that doesn’t mean your lawn needs to look patchy and be unhealthy. In fact, it doesn’t even mean you have to live with brown lawn in winter! Here are our tips to creating the healthiest and best looking lawns to be the envy of all your neighbours!
