We spoke with his about his process to keep his lawn beautiful and there may be some blades of advice for your own backyard.
Mark has a huge backyard so during Covid times, he decided to renovate the lawn and garden just for something to do. It’s turned into a passion.
His lawn is 100% rye grass - sourced from Prebble Seeds Turf World who supply many golf courses around New Zealand. In the summer he mows it every 2-3 days, sometimes daily, and waters the lawn with a deep soak of about an hour at a time, 2-3 times a week. He uses a granular slow release lawn fertiliser and other liquid fertilisers also.
Mark shares:
'I would say the secret to getting a good lawn is consistent mowing - at least twice a week. Maybe buy a bulk bag of slow release lawn fertiliser from a wholesaler. Keep the grass longer and just take the very top off the blade when you mow. It promotes growth, thickens it up and will really help with stopping weeds - oh, and water. Expect a water bill if you want a good lawn.'
The first photo below shows the 'Before' shot, 4 years ago. Give Mark a Like on this post if you think his lawn is pretty top notch!
It's a debate that resurfaces each year as weather hits its peak just as kids head back to school.
Traditionally, we've paired the school holidays in NZ with the Christmas period, but would a shift to February make more sense for everyone?

I've put together some quick advice around home security. Hope it's of interest, drop a comment if you have anything else you'd like to add. Thanks and have a great week.
Immediate actions:
- Secure your belongings: Pretty simple. Don't leave packages unattended, bring in valuables from your car and make sure doors and windows are locked. I learnt the hard way having a scooter stolen off our porch in the middle of the night (it wasn't chained to anything - my bad, won't make that mistake again).
- Neighbourhood watch: If you don't already have one, consider starting a neighbourhood watch group, even if it's just a whatsapp chat with your immediate neighbours - letting them know if you're coming and going for extended periods of time, need help bringing in bins, clearing letterbox etc.
- Report suspicious activity: If you see anything unusual, report it to the police and neighbours. A lot of the time it's the same (small) group of people, known to authorities. Even small details can be helpful.
- Don’t hide your spare key under a welcome mat – or under a pot plant...or just anywhere that seems obvious!
Longer-term solutions:
- Security cameras: Installing security cameras can be a deterrent and provide evidence if something does happen. Places like PB Tech have got pretty decent, affordable, super easy to install cameras (tbh just having something/anything there that resembles a camera and is clearly visible can be enough to discourage opportunists).
- Further to this, clearly displaying a sticker from a security company on your windows can also be a useful deterrent.
- Outdoor lighting: Well-lit areas can also deter unwanted visitors.
- Upgrade your locks: Consider investing in stronger locks for your doors and windows. Deadbolts are great as they prevent people getting in, while also making it much harder to get out with large items like a TV.
For those still reading, Framework Doors specialises in locally-made and beautiful looking steel security doors (see image). While they're not the only solution, they do add an extra layer of protection and peace of mind. They install directly into the existing door frame and come in a range of designs, colours etc. Good for keeping intruders out and great for keeping pets, kids etc contained, while also allowing passive airflow and sunlight into the house.
If you'd like to know more, please reach out. I'm happy to offer advice, even if you're not ready to purchase right away.
