Tip 1: Lawn Rejuvenation and Maintenance

The first step to impressing your neighbours is to make sure your lawn stay rejuvenated. An important process in rejuvenation is dethatching. “Thatch” is the layer of organic matters on top of your lawn root’s system, it’s made up of lawn clipping, roots and plant matter. If these build-ups, it will stay wet and can cause damage to your lawn.

You can use the STIHL MultiSystem with Dethatcher Attachment to remove thatch.

Tip: You can use your lawnmower to collect it up afterwards.

Once dethatching is done, you can use the STHIL MultiSystem with Aerator Attachment to aerate the soil. Then, use a lawn fertiliser of your choice and distribute it evenly. Watering the lawn regularly can also help so the nutrients can reach the roots of the grass.

To cut your lawn to a consistent height, you can use the STIHL Battery Lawn Mower. This creates an even looking lawn and encourages growth. Mowing should be done every week throughout the warmer months.

Tip 2: Create Edge Envy

If you have garden beds, a STIHL Grass Trimmer can help create sharp and defined lawn edge by clearing grass from bricks and stone borders.

It is also advised to do weekly edging so you can keep grass maintained and ensure sharp lines around the boundaries of your lawn. Having sharp, clean lines in your garden is pleasing to the eyes and can instantly give an attractive and well-maintained impression. You can use STIHL Grass Trimmer to vertically cut clean lines around the perimeter of your lawn.

Tip 3: Get it Gleaming with Pressure Cleaning

Now that your front lawn is tidied up, it’s time to give your driveway spruce up. First, remove any of the loose debris from the driveway using a STIHL Blower. Make sure you blow them onto the lawn so it can be picked up when moving and added to compost. If it’s larger debris, it can be put through a STIHL Shredder.

You can also remove any traffic marks and stains from concrete and pavers by using the STIHL Pressure Cleaner. Just make sure to put some gumboots and STIHL Safety Glasses before connecting to a hose and power source. Wand over the hard surfaces to wash off any marks and then hose down walls, surfaces and pots to remove any dirt.

You can also use the STIHL Pressure Cleaner to quickly clean your front verandas, paths and planter boxes. You’ll be amazed by the instant difference it makes.
