A Gold Coast man has gone viral after posting photos of a lawn so perfect people were convinced it was AI – until he revealed exactly how he did it.

Lawn Tips Australia moderator Tim Mee emerged from a week of wild Queensland weather to mow his wintergreen couch to 15mm, then sent lawn fanatics into meltdown.

“Fresh cut after all these storms in QLD. The sun is finally shining. Gotta love those Lawn Tips liquids!” the Hope Island resident said, revealing the wet weather’s silver lining for his lawn.

Gobsmacked best describes the reaction from those who saw his lawn effort, with it so flawless one follower asked “is this for real or is this AI? Absolutely unbelievable”.

“Real mate!” was the response,

“I just had a lawngasm!” said one fan, while another added “that’s mint, your neighbours must hate you”.

The Gold Coast agreed: “yep! And they all ask me to do theirs. No chance. Neighbourhood domination”.

Then in a twist few expected, the Aussie lawn whisperer answered every question his photos sparked like a one-man Bunnings helpline, openly sharing the tools, products, renovation sequence and even his watering schedule.

The full-blown lawn masterclass sparked an outpouring of support and awe from across the country: “bloody perfection,” one person wrote, while others fired off single-word responses – “daaaammmmnnnn,” “miiiint” and even “Jesus”.

SCROLL DOWN FOR CHEAT SHEET

There was also a bit of light interrogation “how many toes were harmed during this reno?”, “what liquid is that?”, but mostly how did you it?

His toolkit revealed a lot about the secret world of lawn fanatics – one where perfection requires far more than a decent mower stashed in the garage.

The Gold Coast resident’s eye-popping arsenal of gear ranged from his rotary scissors (EGO 56v Rotocut), to Ryobi 18v solid blade edger, Ryobi scarifier, Allett Stirling cylinder mower, Billy Goat Plugr petrol corer, Lawn Tips Seaweed+ and Balance, and Granular fertiliser.

But the real jaw-dropper came when desperate fans begged for his full renovation method – which he delivered in spades sharing his 15-step cheat sheet that may well go down as the Rosetta stone of Australian lawn culture (laid out below).

Why “good ol wintergreen couch” as his choice of lawn? “I live in a housing estate where the strata only allows Wintergreen,” he posted earlier. “I was like you; sceptical and scared that it was only cheap and nasty turf. Well it’s proved me wrong. As long as you do the right things to it like follow a great lawn program then it’s great!”
