Survive the Hot Dry Summer with Sir Walter Turf
Climate Scientists are predicting a hot, dry summer this year. Have you taken actions to help your lawn survive, such as laying drought-resistant Sir Walter Turf?
With much of southern and eastern Australia having experienced record-breaking drought and heat this spring, climate scientists predict that -thanks to the effects of the current El Niño system, Sydney is in for a hot, dry summer. This is bad news for many lawns and gardens, with Sydney and New South Wales often being the worst suffering locations within Australia. The Bureau of Meteorology states that conditions can last from around one to eight years, and can include:
- reduced rainfall
- warmer temperatures than normal, more frequent extremes
- increased fire danger for southeast Australia
This could mean that your lawn will struggle to survive the next few summers. As Sydney residents who remember previously harsh El Nino periods would know, harsh water restrictions could be a death sentence if your lawn is not drought resistant.
