A Good Lawn is a Green lawn. I believe it should be soft and fluffy, an impressive green colour and make you happy when you look at it. It should bring a calmness over you. A sense of joy and pride. But it shouldn’t make you cringe at how much it cost you. The pride should come from knowing you spent your hard earned money on something that is beautiful and an investment into your home.

At this time of year especially when the weather is cooler and you need something outside to make you feel happy and want to venture out, even if it is just to hang out your washing. Especially to hang out your washing. That is one job I hate and try to avoid all the time. But I must say having the soft blue couch under my feet makes it a lot nicer to be out hanging out clothes, especially when I know that in two days time I will be hanging out again. School uniforms! Ahhhh!

Anyway, the Coastal Mix is a combination of the super soft lovely Blue Couch and the strength of the Carpet Grass to make a fantastic Dark Green Lawn, that doesn’t take much love and care to make it look fantastic. And it won’t cost you the earth either, in water management, establishment, nor initial purchase. And it will make you feel better, that although you spent a LOT of money on those lovely school uniforms, (which your kids have spilt paint, yogurt, texta, and goodness knows what that brown stain is) you didn’t on the nice grass comforting your feet as you hang them out AGAIN! And they can spill all that interesting stuff on the lawn, and it won’t get weird stains. Believe me my kids coloured in the leaves of the carpet grass when they were little. And it still grew.

Awesome!

Well, I’m off to wash MORE school uniforms to be worn tomorrow to then be hung out AGAIN the next day.

Have fun, chat soon

My kids told me this morning it was definitely winter now. I had to break the bad news to them it was still only autumn. And this was just the start of the chilly season. I must admit I couldn’t feel my fingers this morning either.

And the best part about the cooler months is that I can stop mowing at my house, well the Empire Zoysia area anyway. The Empire’s leaf grow slows right down in winter. ITs amazing. It stays soft and dark green, without me doing anything to it. It really is the E-Z lawn.

A lovely gentleman had some Empire Zoysia installed a few weeks ago and I have turned him into a Grass Crazy Lawn fantastic person as well. He loves the Empire nearly as much as I do. So soft, yet such a strong.

Stay warm with a Empire Lawn. The lawn will warm your home in winter and cool it in summer. It will provide you with stress free happiness when you look outside.So you can snuggle up inside and stay warm and cosy, safe in the knowledge that you won’t have to go out and mow this week.

This morning coming down to the farm was much easier than others. The air is warm, and the sun was shining and the grass smelt beautiful. Don’t you just love that freshly mowed smell. It has so many of those childhood memories attached to the fresh mown smell. I always have those happy childhood feelings come rushing back and it makes me smile.

And it is a smell and a feeling I want my kids to share in. Although my children may develop memories a little different to mine. Mine are of my Dad mowing our lawn with the old Victor and then running through and playing in the grass clippings. And of course playing cricket on the couch. You can get a really good bounce off a green couch lawn.

My Children will have memories of me mowing the Green Couch paddocks in a tractor, singing badly to what they call “Old” music. Hopefully though the Soccer Mum memory holds more weight in their minds though. It is, of course, now its Soccer season. So my boys and I are out on the green couch having a practice. And it does always make me feel better knowing that I tend to bounce better on a green couch lawn. I am meant to be just a spectator but quite often I am roped in, to be Goalie or another position that is less likely to have to run,  and I get knocked down. And the couch is comforting when as a Middle aged woman of not fantastic fitness I fall down on the ground.

I do think my kids will have some of the fun memories associated with the smell of freshly mown lawns. Hopefully its not of their mother strolled on the ground after they have deftly manoeuvred a ball straight past her.

Its starting to feel a lot like Autumn is actually here now. The jeans are starting to come out of the wardrobe and cardigans are being thrown in the car for when the afternoon gets cooler. And often we start to think less about outside. But really this is the best time to be outside. The air is still warm during the day time and the soils are warm for little roots to get established as well.

Installing turf now is fantastic. It means that you can install a beautiful lawn without the heat exhausting you. Over winter you can look out over your green lush lawn and get that happy feeling, and then in Summer, your lawn will be already established with a good strong root system so it won’t need as much watering in the warmer months. Its really a win win. Less effort and energy now to also ensure less work for yourself later on!

So why not put in an empire Zoysia lawn this Autumn. The Empire is a soft thinner leafed lawn, that cushions your bare foot as you walk. And my Favourite part is the in winter its leaf growth slows right down. To the point where at my place I don’t mow the Zoysia all winter. Its fantastic.

So its soft, comforting, hardly any work, and looks fantastic.

A great Autumn project to make your lawn and home look amazing.
