Grantham

Grantham sits on rich Lockyer alluvial country. The valley survey maps this as major-stream terrace and plain country — black to brown soils running clay loam to heavy clay at the surface, becoming alkaline medium to heavy clay with carbonate in the subsoil. They're fertile and hold a deep moisture reserve, around 118 to 147mm in the top metre, so deep and less frequent watering suits them and a lawn here rides out a dry spell better than most. This is the ground that grows the valley's famous vegetables. It's warmer than the plateau, and the fertile soil grows vigorous couch, QLD blue couch and kikuyu that need regular mowing. The higher estate ground drains freely and can dry at the surface, where wetting agents help. Khaki weed is worth watching on the lighter, warmer ground.

Grantham is a rural village between Gatton and Helidon, surrounded by fertile farmland — famous produce and beef country. Since the 2011 flood, a landscaped estate on higher ground has added newer homes alongside the established rural blocks, so we service everything from lifestyle lots to acreage.

Vigorous growth outpacing your mowing just wants more frequent cuts. Fast-drying patches on the higher ground want wetting agents. Spongy turf is thatch (scarify), and pale growth is hunger (feed).
