TOP 3 TIPS FOR GREAT BRISBANE TURF
Here are our top 3 tips for a great Brisbane Turf project
There are a few ways to go about getting a new lawn at your property and some of the things to take in to account are price, lawn type, location and usage. To ensure you get a lawn that will last you for years to come and be an asset you want to take a few of these things into account.
A Great Brisbane Turf project should encompass the following things to make sure you get a great outcome.
LOCATION
- The trees that are on your property or your neighbours
- The location of neighbours homes
- The location of structures including carports, garages and pergolas
- What features does your property have (i.e. Pool, pathways, walls etc)
- & the location of your home on your property
Each of these items are important for a great Brisbane Turf Project as the LOCATION of your home, trees, neighbours, pool etc will play a vital role in how the sun works across your yard or garden and ultimately how the shade will affect the turf variety you choose for your Brisbane Turf project.
Some turf varieties will perform exceptionally well in full sun, hot environments. Some varieties will handle a mix of 50/50 sun shade and other varieties will give you the best possible chance of great coverage in a 70/30 sun / shade location.
Speak with a specialist and ask for a site inspection to get quality advice before ordering for your Brisbane Turf project, it could save you thousands and ensure you create a beautiful space that adds real value to your property.
LAWN USE
Its important to take into account how your Brisbane Turf will be used. By this I mean,
- will your Brisbane Turf be used for sporting fields?
- will your Brisbane Turf be used in commercial environments?
- Do you have dogs & pets that will be using your lawn?
- Do you have children that will be playing on the lawn?
These questions are important to ask when considering new turf varieties for your lawn project.
Some lawns that receive high traffic will require a turf variety that will be able to handle the traffic and rebound quickly to quickly re-establish damaged areas.
Some lawns that will be used for commercial environments or sporting applications need to be managed more closely to ensure that they are performing at their peak 100% of the time.
Taking into account how different varieties grow including their:
- Root depth
- Growth rates
- Growth density
…And other things, will ensure that you select a turf variety that will achieve the right result for your project.
I recommend to seek advice from someone who specializes in this field and ensure that you get a turf suited to your application whether its a DIY or full service installation.
LAWN MAINTENANCE
Some turf will grow much faster than others and although promoted as “low maintenance” will actually require you mowing weekly (if not more) during the summer months to keep your lawn looking pristine.
Some turf varieties (& I wont mention them here) have been heavily promoted as being premium and low maintenance. Experience tells us its quite the opposite and although you might be paying a premium price for something that sounds and looks good now based on the belief you wont have to mow it too often, you need to do your research and ask questions, not just from sales people, but from those who already have these varieties in their homes or businesses.
If you are time poor, busy with life or simple (& lets be honest) not a huge outdoors person who likes to slave in their yard all weekend, I highly recommend you speak with someone who can point you in the right direction.
Natural Turf is beautiful – I really love it. Synthetic or Artifical Turf is really striking these days and presents very low (notice I didnt say zero) maintenance.
3 Tips for Great Brisbane Turf
- Choose a turf variety suited to the location of things on your property & relation to the sun
- Think about how it will be used and choose a variety that really suits what you need
- Be honest with yourself about how much time you have to maintain your lawn & select a turf that is in line with this.
