Turf & Surf Lawn Recovery Pack

What's in the pack

Base — rebuilds soil structure and restores the conditions roots need to recover
Vital — drives deep root repair and new root development
Surge — delivers fast visible green-up while the deeper work happens underneath

How the program works

All 3 products are tank-mix compatible — apply together in a single sprayer pass.

Mix Base, Vital, and Surge in your sprayer. Apply evenly across the lawn including affected areas. Water in lightly after application. If temperatures exceed 30 degrees water in immediately. Apply early morning or late afternoon in hot conditions.

Repeat every 3 to 4 weeks through the recovery period. Most lawns need 2 to 3 applications to fully recover.

A struggling lawn is not a lost cause. But it needs more than a surface feed.

When a lawn has taken a hit — post-summer damage, neglect, heavy wear — the visible damage on the leaf is only part of the story. Underneath, the soil is depleted, roots are weak, and the structure that supports healthy growth has broken down.

Feed the leaf without fixing what is underneath and you get a brief green-up followed by the same tired, struggling lawn. The recovery does not stick because the foundation was never repaired.

The Recovery Pack goes to work on both layers. Base repairs the soil. Vital rebuilds the roots. Surge delivers the visible response on top of a foundation that can actually support it.

Application rates per 100m2

Base: 120 to 150ml — use the higher rate for heavily stressed or damaged lawns
Vital: 100ml
Surge: 200 to 500ml — use the higher rate for rapid recovery response

1L of each product covers a standard 300 to 400m2 lawn for a full recovery season.

What to expect

Days 5 to 7: Visible green-up and early leaf response from Surge.
Weeks 2 to 3: Stronger growth response as root repair begins to support above-ground performance.
Weeks 3 to 6: Noticeably denser, healthier turf as the soil and root work compounds.
After 2 to 3 applications: A genuinely recovered lawn with improved resilience and the structural health to maintain performance through future stress periods.

Why it works when other products haven't

Most products used for lawn recovery are agricultural formulations that push leaf growth without addressing the soil or root system. That is why the results are temporary.

The Recovery Pack addresses the soil and root system first. Each product has a specific job in the recovery sequence and none of them can be replaced with a standard fertiliser.

Complete the program

The Recovery Pack is the rebuild starting point. Once the lawn has recovered, maintaining it with the full program prevents the same problems from returning.

Frequently asked questions

My lawn looks completely dead. Is it worth trying?
Usually yes. Most Australian lawns that look dead after summer heat or drought are dormant, not dead. Give it 2 to 3 applications over 6 to 8 weeks before writing off any areas.

Why doesn't the Recovery Pack include Soak?
The pack focuses on soil conditioning and root repair. If your lawn also has water penetration issues — dry patches or water running off — adding Soak is strongly recommended. It is available individually or as part of the Full Routine Bundle.

Will this work on my turf type?
Yes. Works across all common Australian varieties including buffalo, kikuyu, couch, and zoysia.

How many applications will I need?
Most lawns showing moderate stress recover within 2 to 3 applications over 6 to 9 weeks. Heavily damaged lawns may need 3 to 4 applications.

Can I use this on a newly laid lawn?
Yes. Base and Vital are particularly effective for new turf establishment. Apply Surge at the lower rate (200ml) on new turf.

Is it safe for kids and pets?
Yes. Safe once applied, dried, and watered in — typically a couple of hours after application.
