Warm-season turf grasses like Buffalo, Couch and Kikuyu thrive in hot climates and are common in northern Australia. They grow actively in spring and summer and go dormant in winter. Cool-season grasses like Ryegrass and Fescue prefer cooler climates and grow actively in autumn and spring. Warm-season grasses are generally more drought-tolerant, while cool-season grasses remain green during cooler months. Choosing the right type depends on your local climate and lawn needs.

Improving drainage involves several steps, including aerating the soil, adding organic matter to improve soil structure and topdressing with sand or a soil blend. You can also create drainage channels or install a sub-surface drainage system if your lawn frequently becomes waterlogged. Proper grading of the lawn surface helps water flow away from problem areas. Good drainage prevents water pooling, reduces the risk of lawn diseases and promotes healthy grass growth.

The frequency of mowing depends on the type of turf and how quickly it grows, but generally, you should mow your lawn every one to two weeks during the growing season. Mow less frequently in winter when grass growth slows down. Regular mowing keeps the grass healthy, encourages lateral growth and helps prevent weeds. Never remove more than one-third of the grass blade length at a time, as cutting too much can stress the grass.
