5 Simple Ways to Keep Your Kwinana Lawn Green and Healthy All Year

A healthy, green lawn doesn’t have to be hard work. Here in Kwinana and Perth’s southern suburbs, our hot summers and dry winds can make lawns dry out fast — but with the right care, your grass can stay thick, green, and beautiful all year. At Its Just Grass, we look after lawns across Kwinana, Rockingham, and Baldivis, and we’ve learned what really works in WA’s climate. Here are five easy tips you can follow to keep your lawn looking amazing.

🌱 1. Mow Regularly (But Not Too Short)

Keeping your lawn at the right height helps it stay healthy. Cutting it too short makes the grass dry out quickly, especially in summer. Aim to mow once every 1–2 weeks, and keep your mower blades sharp for a clean cut.

💧 2. Water Deeply, Not Often

It’s better to water deeply two or three times a week than lightly every day. Deep watering encourages the roots to grow strong and reach deeper moisture. Water early in the morning or late evening to reduce evaporation.

🌼 3. Feed Your Lawn

Lawn fertiliser helps replace nutrients lost over time. Choose a slow-release fertiliser made for WA lawns, and feed your lawn three to four times a year. If you’re not sure which to use, we can help recommend the best one for your grass type.

🌿 4. Control Weeds Early

Weeds compete for sunlight and water, making lawns patchy. Check your yard regularly and pull weeds by hand, or use a safe weed control spray. Keeping your lawn thick and healthy will also help stop weeds from taking over.

🪴 5. Aerate and Top-Dress in Spring

Aerating your lawn lets air, water, and nutrients reach the roots. You can use a garden fork or hire a core aerator. After aerating, top-dress with a thin layer of soil or compost to help new grass growth.

🌻 Conclusion

Taking care of your lawn doesn’t have to be complicated — just regular mowing, deep watering, and seasonal care can make a huge difference. If you’d rather spend your weekends relaxing than working in the yard, let Its Just Grass do the hard work for you!
