Late spring in Aotearoa means one thing: growth! Your garden’s coming back to life, lawns are greening up, and weeds are popping up faster than you can blink. It’s the perfect time to set up your lawn and garden for a strong, healthy summer.
With a few smart steps (and a little help from your local Green Acres lawn mowing and gardening team), you’ll have the best-looking yard on the street, without spending your weekends buried in hedge trimmings and green waste.
Feed and Nourish Your Lawn

Your lawn’s hungry after winter! Give it a good boost with a slow-release fertiliser. This keeps the grass strong and helps it stay greener for longer. Water deeply so the nutrients soak down to the roots.
💡 Pro tip: Regular feeding helps reduce the need for constant lawn spraying for weeds later on. Healthy grass naturally crowds them out.
Stay Ahead of Weeds

If you’ve been searching for “weed removal” or “lawn weed spraying”, you already know spring weeds are relentless. The trick is catching them early before they seed. Hand-pull smaller patches or bring in professionals for safe, effective lawn weeding and spraying.
💡 Green Acres tip: We can combine weed removal, green waste collection, and lawn mowing in one easy visit, no mess left behind.
Smart Lawn Mowing = Healthy Lawn

Cutting your grass too short might seem tidy, but it actually weakens your lawn. Mow regularly and only trim a little each time to keep roots healthy and moisture locked in.
💡 Best practice: Keep blades sharp, aim for 4–5cm in height, and schedule regular mowing — especially during hot and dry periods.
Whether you’re after a one-off lawn mowing service or a full lawn mowing service, Green Acres makes it easy to book a reliable local expert.
Prune, Trim & Shape for Summer

Late spring is the perfect time to tidy up hedges, trees, and shrubs. Regular hedge trimming and pruning keeps your garden tidy and encourages thicker growth. If your hedge is overgrown or uneven, our hedge trimming services and hedge cutting experts can get it back in shape quickly.
💡 Bonus: We’ll also handle green waste removal and hedge trimmings disposal, so you don’t have to lift a finger.
Mulch, Moisture & Waste Management

Mulch is magic for your garden — it helps soil retain moisture, protects roots, and reduces weeds. Use bark chips, straw, or composted mulch, and keep it away from plant stems.
💡 Eco tip: Ask if your Green Acres franchisee offers green waste management and green waste disposal options, so your trimmings don’t end up in landfill.
Keep Watering Simple

As temperatures rise, lawns and gardens need consistent watering. Early morning or evening watering gives roots the best chance to absorb moisture.
💡 Time-saving tip: If you’re busy, our lawn service and yard cutting services can include seasonal care, watering, or full garden tidy-ups.
