Company Profile
In 1948, the late Brian Munn founded Munns Lawn Company Pty Ltd and in over 70 years it has become one of Australia’s best-known brands, with a reputation for innovation, quality and service. Its products are distributed through a wide retail network that includes hardware stores nationally, supermarkets, garden centres and nurseries.
Brian Munn’s objective was to ensure top quality lawns by seeking out the best varieties of lawn grass for domestic as well as commercial use. Through trial and research Munns have created a range of lawn grasses that flourish in Australia’s harsh and diverse weather conditions, where temperature variations range between 2 – 50 degrees centigrade in a single state.
Brian's daughter Julie Munn who started working for Munns in 1961, took over from her Dad when he retired in 1982 as Managing Director until 2016. Julie made the decision to take Munns National in 1990. The company had expanded into a multi-million dollar enterprise in which the lawn and garden care product range include lawn seeds, organic lawn and garden fertilisers, boosters and wetting agents. The Munns wetting agent product will not harm the environment.
In 2016 Munns joined the Yates family and they're proudly upholding the Munns commitment to quality in all lawn care products.
