Laying and maintaining an instant lawn
Lawns remain an essential part of any South African garden. The lawn, whether as pristine as a bowling green or merely a play area for children, is a crucial aspect of landscape design. Most people who have lawns are delighted with their appearance: green, lush, and well-kept. Having a perfectly manicured lawn isn’t always at the top of our yard to-do list. And it’s fine if your lawns have a few mossy patches or a few weeds. When it comes to lawn maintenance, whether you’re aiming for perfection or just a healthy-looking patch of grass, there are a few things you should keep in mind. You can rigorously adhere to all of them or simply the ones that keep your lawn looking the way you want it.

Lawn maintenance
You’ll have to put in some effort if you want a perfect lawn. First, avoid cutting the established instant lawn too short when mowing since this might encourage moss growth. The best approach is to do it regularly and in little doses. In addition, you can change your mowing pattern to promote more even grass growth. Next, when you water your instant lawn, make sure it’s completely saturated. A modest amount of water will have no effect, even if done regularly. Finally, rake and aerate your lawn twice a year, at the start of spring and autumn. Moss can be removed by raking while scarifying it with a spiky roller or piercing it with a garden fork will allow your lawn to breathe and grow.
