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?

If you've recently invested in a new mattress and are wondering about the time frame for adjustment, you're not alone.
Understanding the typical adjustment period can greatly improve your sleep health and ensure you get the most comfort out of your new bed.
The Personal Touch: Individual Variation in Adjustment
When it comes to adapting to a new mattress, there's no one-size-fits-all answer.
The mattress adjustment period can vary significantly depending on a number of personal factors.
Age, health, and even your usual sleep position can influence how quickly you adjust.
Generally, most people take anywhere from a few days up to a month to fully adapt to their new sleeping environment.
During this time, your body is acclimating to the support and feel of the mattress, which may differ significantly from your old one.
Understanding Mattress Types and Their Impact
The type of mattress you choose also plays a crucial role in your adjustment period.
Memory foam, for instance, may require a longer adjustment period as it contours more significantly to your body compared to a traditional spring mattress.
On the other hand, hybrid mattresses—a combination of foam and springs—offer a balance of support and cushioning, which might ease the adaptation process.
Tips for a Smoother Transition
Adapting to your new mattress is not just about waiting it out; there are active steps you can take to make the process smoother:
Maintain a consistent sleep schedule. Going to bed and waking up at the same time every day sets your body’s internal clock, which can help reduce the adjustment time.
Create a comfortable sleep environment. Ensure your bedroom is conducive to sleep—consider factors like temperature, light, and noise.
Give it time. Even if your new mattress feels different or not quite right initially, give it a few weeks, as initial discomfort is common.
Exploring more about how to enhance your sleep environment for a comfortable sleep, you can check out Beds4U Bedding.
Recognizing the Signs of Successful Adjustment
How do you know if you're well-adjusted to your new mattress?
Look for positive changes in your sleep quality and health.
You should experience less tossing and turning, fewer awakenings through the night, and reduced morning stiffness or soreness.
Increased sleep quality and waking up feeling rested are clear indicators that your body has adapted to the new mattress.
Comfort with Confidence
Adjusting to a new mattress is a unique experience that varies from person to person.
By understanding your needs and the characteristics of different mattress types, along with employing tips to aid the transition, you can enhance your sleep quality significantly.
Remember, a good night's sleep is crucial for your overall health and well-being.
At Beds4U, we are committed to helping you find that perfect sleep solution.
With a wide range of high-quality mattresses and a knowledgeable team eager to assist, finding your ideal comfort is just a visit away.

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.
