Ever wonder why your neighbour’s lawn always looks greener, thicker, and healthier than yours — even when you mow regularly? The answer is simple: fertilising. Without proper fertilisation, your lawn struggles to thrive in Perth’s tough climate. The sandy soils, hot summers, and unpredictable rainfall strip away nutrients quickly, leaving grass weak, patchy, and prone to weeds.
That’s where HomeGreens fertilising services step in. We provide tailored, professional fertilising across Perth’s northern suburbs — helping homeowners grow lawns they love without wasting weekends, money, or energy.
Most lawns across Alexander Heights, Ballajura, Madeley, Darch, Ellenbrook, Henley Brook, Greenwood, North Perth, Scarborough, Karrinyup, and surrounding areas face the same problem: poor soil. Perth soils are naturally sandy, meaning they drain water too fast and don’t hold onto nutrients. That’s why even the best lawns decline without a consistent fertilising plan.
Fertilizing is a very big part of keeping your lawn green as well, but the complicated part is what fertilizer you use, as there are so many different types. You should take care and check the ingredients in the bag.
If it’s high in nitrogen or sulphate, it will simply make your lawn green quickly and for a short period, with very few nutrients. Always ask for a slow-release option — i.e., granulated fertiliser — which lasts up to three or four weeks. You must specify before purchasing whether the fertiliser is for winter or summer. Too much nitrogen can unbalance your soil. We specify slow-release, granulated formulas tailored for Perth’s seasons, avoiding high-nitrogen/sulfate types that only deliver short-term greening.
Greener, thicker lawns –
Balanced nutrients fuel stronger grass growth.
Weed and pest resistance –
Healthy lawns naturally crowd out weeds and resist pests.
Water efficiency –
Well-fed lawns require less watering, saving you money.
Long-term savings –
Proper fertilisation prevents costly lawn replacements.
Simply put, fertilising isn’t optional in Perth — it’s the difference between a patchy lawn and a thriving outdoor space.
Sure, you can buy fertiliser from the hardware store, but most DIY efforts fail because of:
Wrong product choice –
Many fertilisers aren’t suited to Perth’s soils or your lawn type.
Over-application –
Too much fertiliser burns grass and damages soil.
Inconsistent timing –
Fertilising once in a while isn’t enough.
Lack of soil testing –
Without knowing what your soil needs, you’re guessing.

No two lawns are the same. Whether you have buffalo, couch, or kikuyu grass, each variety needs specific nutrients. HomeGreens designs fertilising programs to suit:
Buffalo lawns –
Thick, shade-tolerant grass that thrives with balanced nitrogen and iron.
Couch lawns –
Hardy grass that needs more frequent fertilising to stay lush.
Kikuyu lawns –
Fast-growing grass that demands controlled fertilising to avoid overgrowth.
We also adapt services to Perth’s seasons:
Autumn fertilising – Strengthens roots before winter.
Winter fertilising –
Keeps grass green even in cooler months.
Spring fertilising –

1. Using the wrong fertiliser for the season.
2. Applying too much or too little.
3. Not watering in fertiliser properly.
4. Neglecting soil improvement.
5. Inconsistent schedule.

Most Perth lawns need fertilising at least four times a year — once in each season — for consistent health and colour.
Slow-release fertilisers with added trace elements like iron and magnesium work best in Perth’s sandy soils. Always avoid high-nitrogen or sulphate fertilisers, as they only provide short-term greening. HomeGreens selects the right blend for your lawn type.
