Sir Walter Turf Maintenance – How to Keep It Thriving
Sir Walter turf maintenance is essential if you want to keep your lawn looking vibrant and weed-free all year round. While this variety is low-maintenance, a little care goes a long way.
Start with regular mowing. We recommend trimming no more than one-third of the blade each time to avoid stress. Sir Walter prefers a slightly higher cut, around 30–40mm, to stay thick and lush.
Watering is another key factor. After installation, water deeply once or twice a week depending on rainfall. Avoid frequent, shallow watering—it weakens root growth.
Don’t forget seasonal fertilising. Use a balanced slow-release fertiliser in early spring and again in autumn. This helps the lawn recover from wear and strengthens it for winter.
Finally, keep an eye out for signs of stress like browning or patchiness. This could mean compaction, pests, or nutrient deficiency. Aerate the lawn annually and treat issues early for best results.
