Nice work Matt. Good explanation on the peaks and troughs. I have noticed them starting appear in your lawn. I also have the same problem in areas of my front lawn, being couch @10mm with a mowmaster. I'm going to leave mine until end of winter, cut it back and topdress. Nice video matt, thanks. Happy Australia day 👍
I'm a bit sceptical about advising of doing a dethatch so late in the season. Not because of recovery, but more because the benefits of thatch leading into winter as it can help keep your soil temperatures up etc.
Hey I've done plenty of late summer and early autumn Renos over the years at my place and wasn't an issue. The repair is quicker and if you let it grow up to the 15mm height straight away you'll get a decent thatch layer quickly. a better mowing grass in better condition to go throughout the dormancy time - I'll take that over not doing the late Reno.
We are in Sydney and we have a Sir Graham ( Zoysia DNA certified). You live way up in north Queensland. If we did as you are going to do, we would have a sandy lawn through winter. I would like you to remind everyone that what you can do in Port Augusta is not what will not resolve will all the rest of Australia.
I think you'll find minor variations with the height of cuts and how often you groom for different grasses and, but generally, the actual maintenance of mowing twice a week and regular grooming and product applications apply everywhere in Australia. I'm in perth and my buffalo lawn and tifftuff couch is on a similar level to this and the maintenance is almost identical.
I’m no more north of Sydney than Newcastle is, but I’m in South Australia, not far north QLD. Port Augusta does get the north winds from the desert so it is usually hotter and certainly dryer. You’ll have now problem doing a late summer renovation in Sydney however Zoysia is a slower grower and would need quite a few more weeks for repair.
