✨ Lawn & Garden Tips ✨
Welcome to August, the last month of Winter.
Camden Mowing loves creating beautiful spaces.
We're also passionate about mowing and gardening and will share tips on the 1st of every month to help you in the lawn and garden.
For your lawn;
👋 I wasn't in Sydney for much of July so my knowledge of the weather is from what the staff told me, what you see on the weather apps and judging the lawn condition now. It appears that w**ds have had a late start in lawns this cold season. With the relatively warm winter so far lawns are in great shape for this time of year (other than some buffalo lawns exposed to open air). W**ds are advancing now though and should be dealt with sooner than later if haven't been already.
🎋 If you can't or wont do anything about w**ds in particular clover your in your lawn, it's not all evil, clover with it's dark green leaves acts as a natural fertiliser so mowing it in is an option, not ideal but possible if not addressing w**ds in your lawn.
😎 I don't have a crystal ball when it comes knowing what the weather will do but the warm winter we are having it makes you wonder what are spring and summer are going to be like? Hopefully not super hot and dry. It's reason to get your lawn into good shape during spring by dealing with w**ds, fertilising earlier and catch the early growth before the bite of summer sets in and your lawn is in its best condition before summer.
🌡️ The average low temperature in July 2025 was 2.1 degrees and the average high 17.9. The average low in July this year was 4 degrees and average high 18.5. Doesn't sound like much but 2 degrees difference for the low average is a fair difference. The overnight temps only really dropped in the last week of July when the wind started blowing from the south west. The other thing that sticks out is that July this year only 2 days below 0 in Camden whereas July 2025 8 days below 0, more reason why the lawns are looking less knocked around at the moment for this time of year.
⛑️ If you haven't already carry out some maintenance on your lawn mower or book it into your local mower shop before they get busy.
📈 Your lawn has had to endure the strains of handling the cold weather the past 2 months so get prepared to feed it up as the warm weather approaches.
In the garden;
🔨 As lawn and garden contractors August is our last month before the workload kicks off, therefore it's our last month to get any finishing touches that develops your momentum for the busy season ahead which you don't have time for in the busy season - for example winter pruning, mulching, prepare for spring plantings, equipment maintenance and preparation.
🚑 The same can be equal on a smaller scale for the residential home environment - get all these types of tasks in order now before you feel like you are glued to the handlebars of your mower or hedger in the warmer months.
💗 Spring time is a great time to fertilise your plants so add fertiliser and liquid tonics to your shopping list this month so you have it handy when the weather warms up.
