Our Turf Installation Process

1. Initial Site Preparation

We typically spray a non-selective herbicide on the yard a couple of times leading up to the project date. From there, we remove any existing turf & debris & level it, and then condition the soil based on what needs ameliorating. This includes pH, drainage, nutrient availability etc.

2. Irrigation Install (optional)

Irrigation is a fantastic, stress-free way to help your lawn thrive. If you already have irrigation installed, that is absolutely not a problem. If you don’t, or would like to upgrade your system, this is something that we can install for you as part of the turf installation process.

3. Turf Selection & Supply

By this point, you will have already selected what turf you are interested in. If you’re unsure, we provide a full breakdown of recommendations based on a few factors which include: sunlight exposure, appearance, hardiness and maintenance requirements.

4. Aftercare

We provide you with full after care instructions to ensure that your new turf has the best chance of thriving and growing in beautifully. Whether you want to take on the general maintenance of the lawn yourself or have us professionally maintain it year-round, we’ll help you.

Turf Installation FAQs

  • New turf typically takes 2-4 weeks to root down depending on the weather and how much moisture the turf is getting.

  • Very minimal foot traffic is recommended for the first couple of weeks until the turf roots down.

  • For common warm season grasses such as couch, kikuyu, zoysia and buffalo the ideal time to lay them is spring/summer.

    For cool season grasses you can typically lay these all year round as long as you are able to keep the moisture levels up in the warmer months.
