Organic lawn fertilising
Chemical-free lawn nutrition that builds thick, healthy grass. Slow-release organic feeding keeps your lawn green and resilient, while staying safe for your family, your pets and local waterways.
Professional organic lawn fertilising
Our organic fertilising service gives your lawn natural nutrition without synthetic chemicals. The products we use feed the soil ecosystem, so your lawn stays healthy over the long term. At the same time, we protect waterways and beneficial insects, and keep the space safe for families and pets.
We also have a related project underway. Our sister business, Zoe Farm, is developing a range of organic fertiliser products and systems. We will share more as that work progresses.

Seasonal fertilising program for Australian lawns
We tailor the program to local climate patterns and to how your grass grows through the year. The right timing depends on whether you have a cool-season or warm-season lawn.
Cool-season grasses
Ryegrass, tall fescue, fine fescue
Autumn (March to May)
Primary feeding season. We apply a complete organic fertiliser.
Winter (June to August)
Light feeding if needed. We focus on conditioning the soil.
Spring (September to November)
Secondary feed with balanced nutrition for active growth.
Summer (December to February)
Minimal feeding, used only to support stress recovery.
Warm-season grasses
Buffalo, couch, zoysia, kikuyu
Autumn (March to May)
Preparation feed that builds reserves for winter.
Winter (June to August)
Dormant season. No feeding needed.
Spring (September to November)
Awakening feed to encourage spring growth.
Summer (December to February)
Primary feeding season with the peak nutrition program.

Why we avoid them
We are committed to practices that protect both your property and the environment, so we use organic products only.
Soil testing and tailored nutrition
Before we start a feeding program, we recommend a soil test. It tells us exactly what your lawn needs, so we do not over-feed or waste product.
pH testing
Most Australian grasses prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0 to 7.0).
Nutrient analysis
We check nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and trace element levels.
Soil structure
We assess compaction, drainage and organic matter content.
