A well maintained lawn provides so many benefits such as heat reduction in homes, play and relaxation areas for families, and adding beauty to our homes and cities. Lawns are vitally important to all of us, however, as Australian lawn owners continue to face new challenges with water, drought and pollution, we are all being forced to improve our lawn care practices and move to environmentally friendly methods of maintaining the grass on our properties to a higher standard, while continuing to face the challenge of keeping our lawn green. The Lawn Guide is dedicated to sharing simple lawn care tips with everyone interested in creating and maintaining a beautiful lawn and garden.

Lawn fact:
A waxy coating on the grains of soil is responsible for the water repelling effect that is often seen in soils, resulting in poor lawn or plant health. In a similar manner to detergents, Wetting Agents will break down this waxy coating, allowing for easier water absorption and retention. Wetting Agents should be included as a normal part of the maintenance routine of every lawn and applied at least twice a year.

Welcome

Welcome to the all new Lawn Guide. Our new website goes far deeper than just cosmetic changes, we've included all new lawn care categories, as well as all new information on Aussie lawn care for Aussie homeowners. But more than that, the new Lawn Guide reaffirms our commitment to remain the leader in Aussie lawn care advice.

And best of all, The Lawn Guide is still 100% original and independent, which means we can honestly cover all aspects of lawns without having to leave out information which may not be so favourable to any one grass type... and that's something the big grass comapanies can never do!

Regardless of how much 'some' may keep copying The real Lawn Guide!
