Common Lawn Pests in South East Queensland

Lawn pests such as grubs and armyworms can cause significant damage by feeding on grass roots and blades, leading to thinning, brown patches, and turf death if untreated.

White Grubs: These larvae feed on grassroots and cause turf to lift and die. Early detection and treatment are essential.
Armyworms: Caterpillars that can rapidly defoliate lawns, especially in warmer months.
Other Insects: Lawn moths, billbugs, and other pests can also affect turf health.

Common Lawn Diseases

Fungal diseases thrive in humid and wet conditions common in Brisbane and Sunshine Coast regions:

Brown Patch: Circular patches of dead or discoloured grass caused by fungi in hot, wet weather.
Dollar Spot: Small, silver dollar-sized spots that merge to damage lawns, common during cooler, damp seasons.
Red Thread: Whitish or pinkish threads appear on grass blades, weakening turf.
Pythium Blight: Rapid turf death in hot, wet conditions, often near irrigation zones.

What Our Clients Say

Real feedback from homeowners, tradies, and builders across Queensland.

We worked closely with Hancey’s Turf on the construction of Samford Football Precinct.

Their responsibilities included spreading and laser levelling of imported growing medium, supply and installation of washed and unwashed turf and associated consolidation and maintenance.

We found Nathan and his team professional and knowledgeable. I wouldn’t hesitate before recommending them or using them again myself.

Director @ Naric Pty Ltd

Universal Civil Contracting has been using Hancey’s Turf as a subcontractor of ours since early 2012.

During this time we have had a professional relationship with Nathan and his Staff. We have always found them to be conscientious and diligent in their work and continually striving to improve their work methods.

Hancey’s Turf provides outstanding work and because of this, we continue to use them as our turfing Sub-contractor when necessary. We have also used Hancey’s Turf to turf around our personal premises.

I am more than pleased to offer my recommendation of Hanceys Turf We have been using Hanceys for a number of years for maintenance of our playing fields at Tenth Av Brighton and when the opportunity arose to up grade the fields I had no hesitation in using the services of Hanceys Turf.

From the initial planning and consultation phase through to completion of the project and grow in stages we have had no issues and all staff involved from Hanceys were and still are more then happy to answer any questions we have in regards to maintenance
