FAQs

When should I lay my turf?

We recommend that you lay your turf shortly after it is delivered. This will avoid pallet burn, which can occur if the turf is left for long periods after delivery.

Can I pick up my turf?

Yes. Pick-ups are available from our farm, located at 33 Kennedy Road, Wivenhoe Pocket. Simply order your turf and we’ll be in contact to arrange a suitable time.

When will my turf be delivered?

We believe in prompt customer service and aim to have your order filled within two business days. Please note: This is dependant on weather, availability and other external factors. Deliveries are made between 7.00am and 11.00am Monday to Friday, and Saturdays by arrangement.

Do you offer a laying/install service?

Yes! Our install price is from $2.75/sqm depending on site access. Our bobcat requires 2m access, our Moffat requires 2.5m. We have a minimum install price of $385. Give us a call to discuss a quote on your space!

How often should I water my lawn?

The turf should be soaked thoroughly over the first week of its life. As it becomes established and begins to ‘take’ watering should become less frequent. As a general rule, we suggest you water your lawn twice a week, depending on the season, weather and other factors.

Can I walk on my new lawn?

As the turf establishes, we recommend that foot traffic be kept to a minimum for a few weeks. If laying your turf in summer, it will establish quicker than in the colder months. To check on the establishment of the lawn, simply lift a slab from the corner to see if it has ‘taken’.

How often should I fertilise my lawn?

We recommend that you fertilise your lawn each season (4 times a year). Check with your local landscape yard or hardware to see which fertiliser is best for your space.
