Paul's Hobart Putting Green Lawn: A Professional Ryegrass Care Routine

Paul maintains an impressive perennial ryegrass lawn and home putting green in Hobart, using a structured lawn care routine to support healthy growth, consistent colour and excellent turf performance. His lawn is grown from Advanced Seed SR4660ST perennial ryegrass, which requires regular water and nutrition to perform at its best.

During summer, Paul applies Nature's Soil Wetter, Seaweed Secrets and Activ8 Extra every week. This combination supports soil health, water penetration, nutrient availability and consistent turf growth throughout the demanding summer period.

To help manage growth and maintain a controlled, high-quality playing surface, Paul also uses PGR and Liquid Iron. The PGR helps regulate excessive growth, while Liquid Iron provides a boost of green colour and supports overall turf appearance.

As temperatures cool, Paul reduces his fertilising schedule to approximately every 3–4 weeks when required, adjusting his lawn care routine to match the seasonal growth rate.

For additional long-term nutrition, Paul applies granular fertiliser quarterly and during lawn renovations, regularly using Champion Lawn & Greens Grade Mini-Prill Fertiliser over the past few seasons.

Paul has also previously used Quantum H and Stimulizer, achieving great results as part of his broader soil health and turf management program.

This carefully managed routine demonstrates how consistent nutrition, soil conditioning, water management and growth control can help maintain high-quality turf, whether you're caring for a home lawn or creating your own backyard putting green.
