Introducing Rocky Point’s New Lawn Care Range
There’s nothing quite like a lush, green lawn to make your home feel inviting- but keeping it that way takes more than just mowing. That’s where Rocky Point’s new Lawn Care Range comes in.
Designed to take the hassle out of lawn maintenance, this range has everything you need to keep your grass looking its best. Whether you’re tackling stubborn weeds with Feed + Weed, reviving dull patches with Grass Paint Max, or giving your lawn a boost with Lawn Food and Wetting Agent – Rocky Point has you covered.
Understanding lawn weeds and how to control them
Keeping a lawn lush and green isn’t just about mowing and watering- weeds can quickly take over if left unchecked. Broadleaf weeds like Bindii, Clover, Dandelion, and Plantain compete with grass for water, nutrients, and sunlight, making it harder for your lawn to thrive.
Selective herbicides- like Rocky Point’s Feed + Weed are designed to target these weeds without damaging most grass varieties, helping you to maintain a healthy, even lawn. However, if you have buffalo grass (such as Sir Walter or Palmetto), this product isn’t suitable, and you’ll need an alternative approach.
Why controlling weeds is important
At first, a few weeds might not seem like a big problem, but they spread quickly and can weaken your lawn by competing for water, nutrients, and sunlight. Bindii, in particular, can turn into a major headache if left untreated- once it sets seed, it produces painful, spiky burrs that make walking on your lawn unbearable. The best way to manage Bindii is to treat it early, before it flowers and spreads seeds, preventing it from taking over.
Using a product like Feed + Weed helps tackle broadleaf weeds while also feeding your lawn, encouraging stronger grass growth to fill in bare patches and reduce the chance of future weed invasions.
When to apply weed control
The effectiveness of any weed treatment depends on timing. For best results:
- Apply when weeds are actively growing.
- Wait a few days after mowing before you apply – this allows for sufficient leaf surface area for herbicide absorption.
- Avoid spraying before rain—the herbicide works on contact and needs time to be absorbed by the leaves.
- Choose a calm day to prevent spray from drifting onto nearby plants.
- Avoid applying when temperatures exceed 30°C – excessive heat can cause the herbicide to evaporate too quickly or stress the lawn, reducing effectiveness.
Selective vs. Non-Selective herbicides: What’s the difference?
Understanding herbicide types helps ensure you use the right product for the job:
- Selective herbicides (like Feed + Weed) only target specific plants, such as broadleaf weeds, while leaving grass unharmed.
- Non-selective herbicides (like glyphosate) kill all vegetation they come in contact with, making them suitable for clearing areas like garden paths or driveways, but not for lawn use.
Beyond weed control: a complete lawn care approach
Weed control is just one part of maintaining a healthy, thriving lawn. To address common lawn care challenges, Rocky Point’s new range includes easy-to-use solutions designed to improve overall lawn health.
- Grass Paint Max is a hose-on lawn pigment and fertiliser that restores faded patches with a natural green colour while nourishing your grass—ideal for dry spells or areas stained by pets.
- Lawn Food, enriched with kelp and iron, promotes deep green growth and helps your lawn withstand stress.
- Wetting Agent is made for dry hydrophobic soil. When applied it improves water penetration, ensuring deeper hydration for stronger, more resilient turf.
A well-maintained lawn is more than just a visual asset—it creates a durable, comfortable space for outdoor living. Regular fertilising, proper watering, and timely weed control all work together to keep your lawn lush and healthy year-round. Understanding how these products complement each other can help you achieve a lawn that not only looks great but stays strong in any season.
