LawnFix

What we do..

We keep your lawn healthy and beautiful with our seasonal lawn care treatments that include everything your lawn needs - foliar feed, granular fertilizer, weed, insect and fungus control.

We visit your lawn once every three months (i.e. once every season) or once per month (depending on treatment option and lawn requirements) to administer all products in order to maintain the health of your lawn and to address any problems that might have occurred since our last visit.

We provide standard treatment options as well as organic treatment options.

Very few people realize that lawn care is a very specific science and that the fragile natural balances in your garden can easily be disrupted or destroyed through the incorrect use of pesticides and lawn nutrition. Don’t waste any more money. Contact us today to discuss your lawn care needs.

LM / Berea

LM/Berea is a beautiful lawn type that has a great reputation for growing in shaded areas, like under trees for instance, where most other lawn types won’t grow. It has a very soft blade, which feels great under foot. It is however not very suitable for high traffic areas. This grass must not be cut too short. It has a high disease and insect tolerance and grows like a creeper, which helps to fill in shaded areas if used in conjunction with other types of lawn, like Kikuyu. LM/Berea is also a fast grower that slows down a bit in winter, but continues to grow slowly. The high cost of this lawn type makes it less ideal for the average household.

Kikuyu

Kikuyu is the most common lawn type in South Africa. It requires full sun as it tends to struggle in shady and wet areas. Under those conditions, it is also quite susceptible to diseases, such as fungus. Kikuyu grows very fast and usually needs to be mowed at least once a week in summer time - less in winter. It has a beautiful, soft texture, which makes an outstanding lawn if it is cared for correctly. This grass, which ranges from a deep to light green colour, makes a great lawn for family homes, if it has all the right conditions, i.e. full sun, enough water etc.

Cynodin

This is a soft, fine lawn with a deep green colour. It requires regular watering and is a fast grower in perfect conditions. Cynodin can be mowed very short, which will give it a lovely, manicured look. This type of grass prefers sunny areas, but can grow in shady areas to some extent. With the correct care Cynodin can be a beautiful lawn.

Buffalo

Buffalo is a well known indigenous grass type in South Africa. It has a broad, hard, dark green leaf and is known as a water wise type of lawn. The fact that it is also traffic and shade tolerant, makes it even more popular. This type of lawn is also low in maintenance as it is a very slow grower, which doesn’t require mowing as often as some other lawn types. The down side of that is that it gets overtaken by weeds easily, because the latter grow much faster and it also takes much longer to recover after it has been damaged by insects or diseases. Once established and healthy, this is a great type of lawn.
