About The Lawn IQ

About The Lawn IQ

Real turf science made simple, with no guesswork and no gimmicks.

Our story

We've seen thousands of lawns fail, mostly for the same few reasons. We started The Lawn IQ so you can build a lawn that's healthy and stays that way.

We're a small family business, and turf farming is what this family has done for nearly forty years, seventeen of them Hugo's own. Between us we've worked on thousands of lawns across Australia, from home backyards to professional sports fields. We've seen what works and what doesn't, and we want everyone to have that knowledge.

The problem we solve

Most lawn problems come down to the same few things: the wrong products, the wrong timing, or no plan at all. People spend time and money trying to fix them and still don't get the lawn they're after. We built The Lawn IQ to put real turf science behind every step, in plain terms and without gimmicks.

How we help

Personalised plans

You tell us about your lawn: what turf you have, how much sun it gets and where you live. We build your plan from that.

Expert knowledge

You'll know what to use, when to use it and why it works, and you only pay for what you need. Every product and step has been tested by people who do this every day.

Full support

Everything is delivered to your door when your lawn needs it, and if you have a question, you can ask us.

Join our community

We're also building a community of people who like to do things properly. Our guides, videos and support are there to help you learn as you go and get good results.

For us it comes down to pride and family, and the feeling of walking barefoot across a lawn you built yourself.

Your Lawn Guide, free to read

Ten chapters on how an Australian lawn actually works: light, water and nutrition, mowing, fertiliser, pests, and the seasonal timing behind all of it. Written by Hugo Struss, seventeen years a turf farmer in a family that has been doing it for nearly forty.
