Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Lawn Reset cost?
Lawn Resets start from $180. Pricing depends on lawn size, access and the amount of thatch requiring removal.
When is the best time for a Lawn Reset?
Spring and autumn are generally the best times for a Lawn Reset because grass is actively growing and recovers more quickly. Winter and summer may still be suitable depending on your lawn and the weather conditions.
Will my lawn look worse before it looks better?
Yes. Immediately after scarifying, lawns often appear thinner. New growth typically develops over the following weeks.
Do I need Lawn seed?
Not always. Fertiliser helps encourage recovery after a Lawn Reset, while overseeding is recommended for lawns with thin or bare areas to improve grass density.
How long does recovery take?
Recovery depends on the weather, grass type and ongoing watering. Most lawns begin showing noticeable improvement within a few weeks, with continued improvement as new grass establishes.
Are results guaranteed?
Every lawn is different, so results depend on watering, weather conditions and ongoing maintenance. A Lawn Reset creates the best possible conditions for healthy new growth, but proper aftercare is essential for the best results.
