As the colder months roll in, you may start noticing your lawn losing its rich green hue. This change is common, especially as your grass begins to enter a dormant phase, depending on your location and grass variety.

Now, the idea of “painting” your lawn might sound a little unusual at first—but hear us out. We're not talking about grabbing a can of green paint (please don’t do that—your lawn and the environment won’t thank you!). But there is a clever, safe way to bring the green back, and it’s called ColourGuard Plus.

What Is ColourGuard Plus?

Used by turf farms, golf courses, and sports grounds across Australia, ColourGuard Plus is a game-changer. It’s not a paint—it's a natural pigment combined with a liquid fertiliser, designed to instantly restore your lawn’s green colour and boost its health.

Unlike traditional coatings, ColourGuard Plus is absorbed into the grass blade rather than sitting on top, so your lawn still functions naturally while looking vibrant and fresh. It’s especially useful for warm-season grasses, which are eco-friendly and water-wise but tend to fade during winter.

Benefits of ColourGuard Plus

✅ Instantly revives your lawn’s green colour
✅ Long-lasting—remains vibrant for up to 3 months
✅ Safe for kids, pets, and the environment
✅ Won’t wash off, run, or stain after it’s dried
✅ Acts as a frost shield by slightly increasing leaf temperature
✅ Contains a small dose of fertiliser to nourish your lawn

When and How to Apply

The ideal time to apply ColourGuard Plus is once your grass has begun to slow in growth but is still healthy. This ensures maximum colour retention during dormancy.

Application Tips:

  • Apply on a dry day with no rain forecast

  • Work in sections to ensure even coverage

  • Rinse off any overspray on paths or driveways immediately

  • Once dry (usually within 24 hours), you can safely water or mow the lawn

Pro Tip: Mow your lawn before applying ColourGuard Plus for best results and longevity.

How Long Does It Last?

When applied correctly and at the right time, ColourGuard Plus can keep your lawn looking green and lush for up to 12 weeks—even when growth has slowed down. If your lawn is still actively growing, it will gradually fade as the grass is mown, similar to how hair dye fades with haircuts.

Is It Safe?

Yes! Once dry, it’s completely safe for children and pets. Just make sure the product has fully absorbed before letting anyone back on the grass—unless you’re going for the green paw look!
