Professional lawn care products available for everyone—The Lawn Addicts story
Ryan Yockins always appreciated a nice lawn, but for a long time, he didn’t know how to achieve one. He spent countless hours reading and researching everything he could about lawn care until he finally managed to achieve the perfect, manicured lawn he had always dreamed of. However, the high cost of maintaining his lawn soon became an issue, and Ryan knew that there had to be a better way.
Motivated by his desire to save money, Ryan began carrying out his own research and trials on various products and raw ingredients. He studied why some fertiliser products worked better than others and eventually started his own blending and formulations for trials. He gained an extensive understanding of the ingredients and processes needed for a very high-level lawn maintained year-round.
Ryan’s social media following began to grow as people noticed his lawn care results. His followers started asking for advice and product recommendations, but he couldn’t sell his hand-made products produced at home. Instead, Ryan recommended a range of products he understood and had confidence in. Unfortunately, none of these products were in suitable pack sizes for the domestic market, let alone be economical enough to use.
Tired of companies peddling their brands in a competitive, growing market with claims that wouldn’t happen, Ryan decided to develop strong relationships with experts and scientists behind these products. The result is the range you see here today in pack sizes to suit your needs and a solution to fit your budget.
With Lawn Addicts’ original supply chain closing, Ryan made agreements to continue growing these legendary brands of the turf industry. Lawn Addicts, from the beginning, stood by Fertech Liquids, 2Spec Granular’s, and Hydrolink Wetting Agents, not because of price, not because of profit margins, but because they are the best. These products are manufactured in Australia and are exclusively available and distributed by Lawn Addicts and Lawn Addicts resellers.
Lawn Addicts is more than just a lawn care company; it’s a community champion. They actively support various voluntary organisations and local sporting clubs, including sponsoring the Marshall Cricket Club’s Lawn Addicts Oval and partnering with The Lawn Addicts Geelong Cricket Association, one of Australia’s oldest and largest cricket competitions. They are also major sponsors the Australian Firefighters Rugby League representative team.
Beyond sporting partnerships, Lawn Addicts is deeply committed to charitable causes. They actively host fundraising raffles and events to support organizations like the Black Dog Institute for mental health and the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia.
Today, Lawn Addicts remains a family-run business, led by Ryan alongside his wife, two sons, and a dedicated team. Their North Geelong-based shop and factory serve as a hub for operations. The company continues to uphold the same principles of honesty, transparency, and quality that have defined it from the beginning. By offering the best-grade products available on the market, Lawn Addicts remains committed to providing exceptional lawn care solutions.
Thanks to Ryan’s passion for lawn care and his dedication to sharing his knowledge, Lawn Addicts has earned a reputation as a trusted name in the industry. Their commitment to their customers and community is unparalleled.
