Caring for Lawns During Qatar’s Winter

After a long, hot summer, many lawns show yellow patches and bare spots. The good news is that Qatar’s mild winter months are the ideal time to rehabilitate them.

Winter care steps

• Reduce watering: shorten run times and frequency as temperatures drop to avoid waterlogging.
• Aerate: relieve compacted soil to help water and air reach the roots.
• Fertilise: balanced feeding that supports root growth before next summer.
• Reseed: patch bare areas with plugs or seed of the same variety.
• Mow regularly: at the right height without scalping.
• Control weeds: remove them before they spread.

Check the irrigation network

Winter is a chance to review sprinklers, adjust their direction and fix leaks so the network is ready for summer.
