Top ten tips for laying and maintaining turf lawns

1.    Hire a professional- To reiterate the above point; professional turf suppliers will be able to provide you with vastly superior results on your turf laying job. We have years of experience and know how to adjust each job depending on minute details to get you the best results every time. Hire a professional and enjoy the superior results of your investment.

2.    Choose the right turf- Read our first blog post and then come in and have a chat to one of the turf supplies experts on the team to determine exactly what type of turf is going to suit your individual requirements. We cannot stress enough the importance of getting the right turf for your property.

3.    Flatten and smooth- Ensure that the soil level is 30mm below footpaths and driveway levels, to allow for the laying of your turf. This can be done manually using a rake, shovel and wheelbarrow, or you can employ the services of a bobcat operator to spread it for you. If you wish to use your existing soil, you need to ensure that the PH level of your soil is at the right level, then you may wish to rotary hoe the ground. Do ensure that you have a good soil base as this will have a bearing on the final outcome of your turf.

4.    Kill all weeds!- 2 weeks before the laying of your turf your lawn should be weed free to ensure that none of the nasties that have taken up residence in your old lawn find a home in your new one. Give your new turf lawn the best chance possible by killing all existing weeds.

5.    Fertilise- A good starter fertiliser should be spread across the area before applying and laying turf.

6.    Underlay essential- A good quality turf underlay should be spread evenly over the ground at a thickness of approximately 50mm.

7.    Water crystals- Spreading some water crystals on the soil, prior to laying your new turf, will help with water retention during the drier seasons of the year. Water crystals can be purchased from your local nursery.

8.    Talk to your turf provider- Turf suppliers and installers are a great source of knowledge for the maintenance of your lawn. Be sure to get their advice on what you need to do to maintain your lawn so that you will be able to enjoy it for years to come.

9.    Mow right- Before mowing your grass enquire about the ideal height and frequency for cutting grass depending on your varietal.

10.    Water right- As with mowing, make sure you enquire about the best way to water and maintain your new lawn from the experts.

Hopefully armed with these invaluable tips you will be able to get the most out of your turf installation and have a beautiful lawn that last you for years to come.
