High-Grade Landscaping Supplies in Ulladulla

Before laying new turf, prepare the area by removing weeds, debris and rocks. Ensure proper soil preparation by tilling, leveling and adding organic matter. Test and adjust soil pH if necessary. Irrigate the area well and plan for adequate drainage. Finally, apply a starter fertiliser and roll the soil for a smooth surface.

The timing for your lawn’s first mow usually falls between 10 to 21 days after installation, influenced by the season. Warmer conditions can accelerate root growth, particularly if you use products like our Turf Launcher to improve early root establishment. To check if your lawn is ready for mowing, try lifting the edge of the turf mat. If it remains firm, it’s time for a mow. Don’t forget to water your lawn immediately after the first mow. Also, avoid letting your lawn grow too long before its initial mow. For lawns situated in shadier areas, a slightly longer length may be appropriate.

There’s no need to top dress newly laid lawns if the installation and preparation have been done correctly. Top dressing helps enhance soil nutrients or level the ground. If you choose to top dress, ensure the grass leaves remain visible; piling on too much can suffocate your lawn. If you need to raise any low areas, do this gradually over time. Also, if your top dressing contains fertilisers, avoid using extra products as they may be unnecessary and potentially harmful.
