Spring is the season of blossoms, where earth brings everything back to life. For homeowners, it offers time to think of a green backyard, allowing them to make the most out of the spring freshness. No matter if you are new to gardening or have been thinking of giving your lawn a makeover, following tips will work as the perfect gems for you:

1. Research about the type of grass you wish to grow, as it makes a difference with not only the landscape, but the way edges are made, and soil nutrients are bought.

• If you already have a lawn or garden and wish to make the most out of the spring season, then use organic, natural, or glyphosate free weed killer herbicides. They will allow you to get rid of the weed in spring. By summer, your garden will be free of them and become green.

• Knowing the most about the way Australian soil works is essential. Many areas of Australia are dry and need adding some gypsum to reduce the clay mixture inside soil. Here good fertilizers that contain iron and zinc can come into handy.

• If you are looking for good fertilizers, try finding organic and natural ones because they contain animal and human extracts that help strengthen the roots of grass. Because we might have pets in the house who eat grass, organic fertilizers won’t damage their immune system. However, they may be costly, yet effectively cheap in the long run.

• Using mulch in your garden can be a good way to retain water and reduce the damage from weeds. 

• Know when to water your plants and grass is essential. The best time to water grass is in the morning when they can soak the moisture, rather than evenings when it is hard to soak moisture leading to fungus and weed.

• Always water deep, but not often because roots need water to strengthen soil nutrients. If you water too often and for a short period, the grass might not grow and the roots will become weak, leading to dead patches.

• Spring is the planting time across the world and especially in Australia. You can use native plants and grass such as native grass, kangaroo grass, windmill grass, and bottlebrush grass in cost-effective ways.

• You can use cuttings as a source to make your soil stronger and grass greener. Cuttings can decompose and provide support to landscape and the grass.

1. If you are a serious planter, try the veggie garden, where you can grow seeds in small containers and use them for edible purposes.

1. Try building a shed for your lawn or garden. Kit sheds are inexpensive and easy to make. Also, they can provide a convenient way to reduce exposure from ultraviolet rays and extreme dry seasons.

1. Prune your flowers and trees and seek an expert so they do not look out of order. This can be done before spring starts so that flowers can benefit from natural growth earlier in spring.
