Selective spraying that clears clover, prickle and broadleaf weeds without touching your kikuyu or couch, backed by a seasonal feeding programme that thickens the lawn so weeds struggle to get back in. Free quotes, no lock-in.
Tell us what’s coming through and we’ll price a treatment plan.
Every visit is priced and explained up front — here’s the standard scope.
Clover, dandelion, catsear, plantain, hydrocotyle and onehunga all respond differently to chemical control. We identify what’s actually there before we spray, not after.
A selective herbicide matched to your lawn type kills the weeds without setting back kikuyu, couch or fine turf grasses. Isolated patches are spot treated rather than blanket sprayed where it isn’t needed.
A proprietary slow-release feed applied at the right rate for the season, so nutrients release steadily over weeks rather than one hard growth spurt.
Prickle weed germinates in autumn and hardens off into painful seed heads by summer. Treating in winter or early spring, before the prickles form, is the difference between it working and not.
A sulphate of iron application greens the lawn quickly and helps suppress moss in shaded or damp corners, common on south-facing Tauranga sections.
Products are applied by insured, trained operators and are safe for kids and pets to be back on the lawn once the treatment has dried, usually within a few hours.

Weed control and fertiliser treatments start from around $40 + GST for a straightforward fertiliser visit, and go up from there with the size of the lawn and how established the weeds are. These are the things that move the number.
One spray rarely fixes a weedy lawn for good. This is the rhythm that actually works here.
A slow-release feed as growth ramps up, plus early control before summer weeds germinate.
Targeted spot spraying of anything that’s pushed through, with iron for colour through the heat.
The key window for onehunga control, paired with an autumn feed to carry the lawn into winter.
Moss and shaded, damp corners checked, with lime if the soil’s running acidic and inviting weeds back in.

Before
After
A weed and feed bought off a hardware shelf is built for ryegrass down south. That’s not what most Tauranga lawns are made of.
Kikuyu and couch tolerate different actives to fine fescue or ryegrass. Using the wrong product can yellow or set back the lawn instead of just clearing the weeds.
Onehunga is only easy to control before the prickles form. Spray after summer and you’re just walking on the results. We work to the calendar, not a one-size call-out.
Ring the number and you get someone in Tauranga who can talk about your actual lawn, not a scripted booking line reading from a script written for somewhere else.
From the foot of Mauao right through to Te Puke and Ōmokoroa. If your suburb is not listed it is still worth asking — our coverage across the Bay keeps growing.
The things Tauranga homeowners ask us most before booking a treatment.
No. We use selective herbicides chosen for your specific grass type. They’re formulated to control broadleaf weeds like clover, dandelion and onehunga without setting back kikuyu, couch or fine turf. The wrong hardware-store product can yellow a kikuyu lawn, which is exactly what we’re avoiding.
Yes, once the treatment has dried on the leaf, which is usually a few hours depending on the weather. We’ll let you know on the day roughly how long to keep everyone off the lawn.
Fertiliser green-up is usually visible within a week or two. Weeds take longer to die back and disappear, typically two to four weeks, since the herbicide works through the plant rather than burning it off instantly. Onehunga control is about preventing next season’s prickles rather than an overnight fix.
A single visit clears what’s there now, but new weed seed blows in constantly and a lawn that isn’t regularly fed will always be easier for weeds to invade. A spring and autumn programme is what actually keeps a lawn clear year to year. Plenty of clients start with a one-off and move to seasonal once they see the difference.
Winter to early spring, before the plant hardens off and produces its prickles. It germinates in autumn and is easy to control while it’s still soft and small. Spray it in summer once the prickles are already there and you’re treating for next year, not fixing the current problem.
Yes. A slow-release fertiliser application on its own thickens and greens a lawn, and a thicker lawn is also the best long-term defence against weeds moving in. If the lawn is compacted or thatchy underneath, we’ll flag whether dethatching first would help the feed do its job.
Prices are quoted exclusive of GST, with GST added at the standard rate on your invoice. You’ll always see the full breakdown before anything is booked, and nothing outside the agreed treatment gets added afterwards.
Free quote, prices exclude GST. No lock-in contract. Same local crew every visit.
