The best methods for weed control in gardens include mulching, hand-pulling weeds, using herbicides selectively, and practicing regular maintenance to prevent weed growth.

The majority of easy to purchase pesticides "grub killers" are non selective, meaning they are very effective at killing all insects and grubs living within and above your lawn. This includes the beneficial ones, like earthworms and bees. To effectively use pesticides opt for selective pesticides that target the specific problem species. At Bonterra Property Care we avoid using broad-spectrum pesticides that can harm beneficial insects and opt for targeted approach that also provides protection up to six months.

Pre-emergent sprays can be beneficial for preventing weed seeds from germinating in your lawn. We advise using pre-emergent sprays in early spring to control summer weeds before they become established. Likewise we also advise using pre-emergent sprays in early to mid Autumn to control winter weeds before they become established. Contact us today to help with your weed management.

Granular fertiliser applications provide slow-release nutrients for long-term feeding of the lawn, while foliar fertiliser applications offer quick absorption through the leaves for rapid greening and growth. Using both types of fertilisers can ensure balanced nutrition and promote healthy turf growth. Contact us today and take the confusion out of fertilising your lawn and let us take care of it for you.

It is not recommended to use weed and feed products together on lawns because the timing of application for weed control and fertilisation generally do not align, leading to ineffective results and wasted money. Additionally, combining herbicides and fertilisers can result in over application of chemicals, potentially harming the lawn and the environment.
