Here are our Top 3 Tips for Brisbane Turf Laying
KILL THOSE GNARLY OLD WEEDS & GRASS
When it comes time for a new lawn and you are about to start a Brisbane Turf Laying project its important that you TAKE THE TIME REQUIRED to suitably deal with your existing lawn.
Most people underestimate this part of the process, don’t effectively treat the lawn and underestimate how long you need for the weeds and grass to die before going through the process of laying new turf.
We highly recommend you treat your lawn with a product that will completely kill the weeds and grass. In this article I wont recommend a particular product because we don’t align with any product in particular. Make sure whatever you use, kills everything… EVERYTHING!
You dont want to put your new brisbane turf down and then look outside in a week and say, sh*t, it’s full of weeds. You want to look outside and enjoy the beautiful new turf you have just laid and the only way to do this is to ensure that the weeds wont grow back.
BE PATIENT – 1 week minimum between treating the old lawn & starting the preparation works on you new turf installation.
SAVE YOUR LIFE - USE EARTHMOVING MACHINERY
Using the right machinery will save you heaps of back breaking work removing your old lawn.
You may think you are saving money working out in the yard for the next 30 weekends in a row, poisoning, cutting back, raking, shovelling, wheel barrowing, and racking up 500km on your car with the trailer grandad gave you in 2010.
What does this cost?
How much life are you giving up?
Why would you?
Quite simply, working with a professional company that provides earthmoving & rubbish removal services will have your lawn work completed in a day, or a couple of days.
But earthmoving is expensive?
Yes, there is a cost for a company to have bobcats, posi tracks and excavators and you also need to think about the rubbish removal costs. It will be cheaper for you at the tip, but the right machinery will move all of your grass, weeds and old soil in one or two loads to the tip… saving you hours and wear & tear on your body, car and gear.
Experience tells us, getting the job done right, with the right machinery will save you a lot of time and money as the work is done, done right and your lawn will be down in a day or 2… not weeks or months.
Again – spending the money in the right places at the start will save you thousands in the long run.
SPEND A BIT NOW - GET A LAWN FOR LIFE
Don’t be cheap! I will say it again, we live in a world of everyone wanting everything cheap. Stop it now!
It’s really important that you spend the extra money when choosing an under turf soil for your Brisbane Turf Laying project.
You want to choose a soil that is:
- Full of organic content – the smelly stuff – chicken poo – manure & other items that will get your new lawn growing like mad!
- Has a good blend of soil & sand. Sand packs down and makes it easy to shape – it will pay dividends in the long term
You also want to make sure you are laying soil between 50 – 100 mm deep so that your new Brisbane Turf has plenty of good stuff to sink its roots into.
Speak with someone today about the turf that will be recommended for your project. Don’t be cheap, spend the extra, get something good quality and order extra – you can use left overs around the yard.
