Discover the ultimate guide to removing weeds and revitalizing your lawn with targeted herbicides and fertilisers tailored for premium turf varieties. Learn how to identify common weeds, choose the right treatments, and boost lawn health with professional-grade and liquid fertilisers all backed by expert advice from Active Turf.

Keeping your lawn lush and weed-free starts with asking two essential questions:

1. What types of weeds are growing in your lawn?
2. What grass variety do you have? (e.g., Eureka Kikuyu, Nullarbor Couch, DNA Certified Sir Walter, Sir Grange Zoysia, Zoysia Australis, or TifTuf Bermuda

Once you identify these, you can select the right weed control products that are safe for your turf and effective against unwanted growth.

How to Eliminate Broadleaf Weeds from Your Law

Broadleaf weeds like Bindii, Clover, Dandelion, and Thistles can quickly take over your lawn if left untreated. The best solution is to apply a broadleaf herbicide such as:

• Estate Herbicide – ideal for targeted spot treatments
• Lawn Solutions All Purpose Weed Control – perfect for general use with a hose-on application

These herbicides effectively tackle common broadleaf invaders including Creeping Oxalis, Cudweed, Catsear, Plantain, and more.

💡 Tip: Use the hose-on bottle for easy coverage or opt for concentrate if you need precision near trees and shrubs.

How to Control Invading Grasses in Your Law

Invasive grasses like Nutgrass, Crab Grass, and Rye Grass can disrupt your lawn’s uniformity. Here’s how to manage them:

• Hand-pulling is effective for small patches.
• For larger infestations, use a grass-specific herbicide based on the invading species.

To effectively control invading grasses in your lawn, it’s important to match the right herbicide to the specific weed type. For Nutgrass and Mullumbimby Couch, use a targeted solution like Sedge Control. If you’re dealing with Winter Grass, opt for Amgrow Winter Grass Killer, which is formulated for cool-season invaders. For warm-season nuisances such as Summer Grass, Crab Grass, and Crowsfoot, choose a product containing DSMA, like David Grays Crab Grass and Clover Killer. Lastly, if Onion Weed or Rye Grass is present, Duke Herbicide is the recommended treatment.

Pro Tip: Always identify the invading grass species before treatment to avoid damaging your lawn—especially if you’re growing premium turf like Sir Grange Zoysia, TifTuf Bermuda, or DNA Certified Sir Walter.
