  Ever looked out at your lawn in winter and thought, “What happened to the green?” You’re not alone. Winter in Auckland can leave grass looking dull, patchy, and half-asleep.

Our lawn fertilizing services are made for this season — quiet growth, cooler soil, and moisture-heavy days.

At Garden Experts , we’re already seeing lawns starting to lift, hedges creeping out of shape, and weeds sneaking in. Book your garden service now, and you’ll beat the rush.
