Transform your garden with instant turf installation. We provide complete turf laying services across Geelong, from initial site preparation through to laying premium instant turf varieties that are suited to our local climate and soil conditions.
A quality lawn starts with proper preparation. We prepare your site correctly, address drainage and soil quality issues, and lay turf with the techniques that ensure it establishes quickly and stays healthy for years to come.
Clearing existing grass or weeds, levelling the site, addressing drainage issues, and adding quality soil or soil conditioner. Proper preparation is essential for turf success.
Professional laying of instant turf with tight seams and proper ground contact. Correct laying techniques prevent gaps and ensure even establishment.
Adding quality soil, compost, or soil conditioner to create the right base for your new lawn. Good soil means better turf establishment and long-term lawn health.
Advising on the best turf variety for your site conditions – sunny, shaded, high-traffic areas all require different grass types. We work with local turf suppliers to source appropriate varieties.
We don’t just lay turf on unprepared ground. Our excavation and earthmoving experience means we prepare sites correctly with proper levels and drainage.
Turf installation is part of our broader landscaping services. We understand how lawns fit into the overall garden design and drainage planning.
We have excavators and earth-moving equipment for proper site preparation, not just manual tools. This makes a significant difference on larger properties or challenging sites.
Often turf installation follows concrete work. Having one contractor handle your driveway, paths, and lawn installation means better coordination and timing.
We inspect your property to understand existing levels, soil quality, drainage, sun exposure, and any challenges for your new lawn.
Removing existing grass or weeds, addressing any level issues, and creating proper fall for drainage. Soil may need to be added or replaced.
Adding quality topsoil, compost, or soil conditioner to create the ideal growing medium for your turf. Good soil equals a healthy lawn.
Raking and fine-grading the site to create a smooth, level surface. Removing stones and debris that could affect turf establishment.
Laying fresh instant turf with tight seams and proper ground contact. Working quickly to ensure turf doesn’t dry out before installation.

Turf installation costs typically range from $25-$45 per square metre including site preparation, turf supply, and laying. Costs vary based on site condition, turf variety selected, and amount of preparation required.
Kikuyu is popular for full sun areas – it’s hardy, drought-tolerant once established, and handles Geelong’s summers well. For shaded areas, varieties like Nullarbor Couch or shade-tolerant blends work better.
Light foot traffic is generally fine after 2-3 weeks once the turf has started rooting. Avoid heavy use for at least 4-6 weeks whilst the lawn establishes.
Autumn and spring are ideal for turf installation in Geelong – mild temperatures and natural rainfall help establishment. We can lay turf year-round, but summer installations need careful watering management.
Yes, we source instant turf from local Geelong suppliers. We’ll advise on the best variety for your site and arrange delivery for laying.
Turf typically roots into the soil within 2-3 weeks in good conditions. Full establishment takes 6-8 weeks, after which your lawn can handle normal family use.
Sites need to be cleared of existing grass or weeds, levelled properly, and have quality soil or soil conditioner added. Proper preparation is the key to successful turf establishment.
New turf needs daily watering for the first 2 weeks to keep it moist whilst roots establish. After that, watering can be reduced gradually. We’ll provide specific watering instructions when we complete your installation.
Yes, but steep slopes need special consideration. We may recommend terracing or using erosion control methods to prevent turf slippage before it’s established.
Poor soil can be improved by adding quality topsoil, compost, or soil conditioner. Sometimes it’s better to replace poor soil entirely. We’ll assess your site and recommend the best approach.
