Unfortunately all lawns except for Sir Walter, may occasionally be troubled by Australia’s main lawn insect pest: the black beetle lawn grub. This nasty little blighter often devastates kikuyu and tall fescue if not treated quickly. By watching for signs such as, areas of turf beginning to shrivel and die and magpies and other birds tearing up your lawn in search of what they see as a succulent bit of dinner, you can avoid this situation. If you suspect you have a grub problem, please contact us ASAP so that we can recommend a suitable lawn grub insecticide.

As you can see, the care and maintenance of your lawns does require a degree of attention to the basics of watering, feeding, mowing and weed control, but if you stay vigilante you should be able to maintain a good-looking lawn for years to come.
