Natural Turf Supply & Installation

Fresh, hard-wearing natural lawns supplied and laid to suit your soil, sun and lifestyle.

Nothing beats real grass underfoot. We supply and lay quality natural turf over properly prepared, graded and drained ground, so your new lawn takes root quickly and stands up to Melbourne summers, kids and pets.

Who this service suits

Ideal for family backyards that get real use, front lawns that carry the home's street appeal, and new builds starting from bare soil. If your block gets reasonable sun and you don't mind mowing, natural turf gives the best feel and looks of any surface.

Problems we solve

  • Bare or muddy ground on a new build handover
  • An old lawn full of weeds, bare patches or invasive grasses
  • Lawns that flood or stay soggy after rain
  • Ground too bumpy or sloped to mow properly
  • Council nature strips that need finishing

What's included

  • Help choosing the right variety for your aspect and use
  • Site clearing, old lawn removal and weed treatment
  • Soil preparation, grading and levelling
  • Quality instant turf, supplied fresh and laid promptly
  • Rolling, edge trimming and watering-in
  • Simple establishment care instructions

Options & materials

Soft-leaf buffalo

Shade-tolerant with a plush feel — the family-lawn favourite for most Melbourne blocks.

Couch varieties

Fine-leafed and hard-wearing in full sun; recovers fast from heavy traffic.

Kikuyu

Vigorous, budget-friendly and quick to repair itself — best where there's room for it to run.

Tall fescue

Cool-season option that holds colour through winter in shaded, cooler spots.

How the work is completed

  1. On-site measure and variety advice
  2. Clear and treat the old surface
  3. Spread and level quality topsoil with correct falls
  4. Lay turf with staggered joints, rolled for soil contact
  5. Water-in and hand over care instructions

Preparation & drainage

A lawn is only as good as what's underneath it. We grade the base so water sheds away from the house, add gypsum or sandy loam where Melbourne's clay soils need it, and sort out soggy spots with drainage before the turf goes down — not after it dies.

Residential & commercial

For homes we handle everything from a small front lawn to a full backyard. For commercial sites, builders and body corporates we lay larger areas to programme, coordinate with other trades, and can quote supply-and-lay across multiple properties.

Common questions

When is the best time to lay natural turf?

Turf can be laid almost year-round in Melbourne. Autumn and spring establish fastest; summer laying works with disciplined watering, and winter simply takes a little longer to knit down.

How long until I can walk on a new lawn?

Keep traffic off for around two to three weeks while the roots take hold, then introduce normal use gradually. We'll give you specific guidance for your variety and season.

How much should I water new turf?

Daily watering for the first couple of weeks is typical, tapering off as the roots establish. We leave you simple instructions matched to the season.

Can you remove my old lawn first?

Yes — old turf removal, weed treatment and disposal are part of the job when needed, so you get a clean start.
