The best turf is in the best preparation – this is a critical step in the overall process of your turf project. If you have an existing lawn poison it with roundup and remove if it is required. The main things to highlight are that the soil must be a high quality sandy loam that is moisture retentive to help minimize their lawns long term water requirements. The degree of drought tolerance of the lawn will also be improved with greater soil depths – we recommend a minimum soil depth of between 50 – 100mm.

Ideally, your turf should be laid immediately.

Yes, at the discretion of your delivery driver.

50-100mm of underlay is ideal. Use a good quality sandy loam from your local landscape yard.

You can lay turf all year round on the coast hotter months require more water to establish.

New lawns will need to be watered heavily on the day of installation, then morning and night in hot weather for at least 3 weeks, cooler weather just once a day for 3 weeks, and all you will be doing is keeping the soil moist, making it attractive for the new roots to make their home.

This usually takes place within 10-21 days, depending on the season. The warmer time of the year it will take root faster. To test to see if your lawn is ready for a mow, just grab hold of the turf matt and see if you can lift it – if it doesn’t lift then you can mow. It’s always best to give your lawn a water straight after the first mow. Don’t let your lawn get too long before its first mow. If your lawn is in quite a bit of shade, it could probably be left a bit longer.

This is the most common call enquiry we have after/during winter. You first need to determine type of weed and use a appropriate herbicide to control the weed. If you have a Buffalo lawn please read the label and make sure it is suitable. Some chemicals cannot be used.

Yes but it will take a lot longer to establish. On the plus side, it doesn’t require as much watering.

Your lawn will look its best if you fertilise at the beginning of each season.

Leave your soil down below the path 25-35mm.

Many people believe that sowing lawn seed is the best way to a new lawn due to the expense of laying Turf, however that’s not necessarily true. Over time the increased maintenance and repair costs of a seeded lawn outweigh those involved in a Turf lawn – and a newly laid turf lawn looks fantastic straight away! Most hybrid licenced Turf varieties are sterile. Any seed products that are available on the market are not as well suited as Turf varieties.
