Lawns

At Lee Rowan's we think the lawn is one of the most integral parts of the family home. First impressions count and as such the front lawn is often the first thing people see. The lawn in your backyard is more your "living carpet" where the kids play & you entertain friends & family. The lawn is also the area of the yard we spend most of our time in the garden. Each week we either mow, or feed, or do some form of maintenance. For all of these reasons it is essential to have the healthiest lawn you can.
 

 
If it is a new lawn you are laying, preparation is the key. Good depths of a quality soil like our Lush Lawn Underlay & correct drainage are the essential ingredients. Selecting the right grass for your lifestyle & your situation is the next important factor. While for most spots in the yard Sir Walter Buffalo is the best growing grass, we also do sell Kikuyu, Couch, Shademaster Buffalo & even the synthetic grass "Lady Jane".
 
 
 
It is important to know how much shade, traffic, etc your lawn is going to get. Once you have discussed your needs with our trained staff we will work out the type of grass you need, with a price to suit. For existing established lawns it is all about maintenance & we are happy to guide you through our easy steps. Quality lawns are very simple to look after, if you are prepared to water, mow & feed regularly. An occasional top dress with our Rocket Topdressing is the ideal way to peak a tired lawn.
 

 
 
 
 
 
It is worthwhile visiting the DIY section of this site and viewing our "Webisodes" with Nigel Ruck (from Backyard Blitz), as they are an entertaining way to learn "the tricks of the trade". Nigel explains a lot of the common "do's & don'ts" of having a great lawn.
