Turf layingin Glenmore Park

A new lawn is only as good as what is underneath it. We strip the old grass and weeds, break up compacted clay, bring in a sandy underlay where the drainage needs it, level the area and roll out fresh turf the day it is cut.

For lawns that are mostly fine but patchy, we repair instead: dead spots from dog urine, summer scorch or lawn grubs are cut out and re-turfed, and bumpy lawns are top-dressed with a sandy soil mix and levelled so the next mow is smooth.

Kikuyu, couch and soft-leaf buffalo all handle Glenmore Park summers. Buffalo copes best with shade from a neighbour's second storey; couch and kikuyu need full sun but recover fastest from dogs and kids. We help you choose before you buy.

When and how often

Turf laid from September to March roots in within two to three weeks. Autumn is fine too. Winter-laid turf survives but stays dormant until spring.
