Lawn + Turf

Lawn installation and turf for a clean, usable outdoor base

Good lawn installation starts underneath. Whether you're laying new natural turf, replacing a tired lawn, or considering artificial turf lawn installation for a shaded or high-wear area, the outcome depends on the groundwork (levels, base preparation, drainage and crisp edging).

We handle turf installation as part of larger landscaping projects and as standalone upgrades where the main issue is drainage, poor preparation or an uneven surface. We'll advise on the best option for your site, including whether natural turf will actually thrive where you want it, or whether synthetic turf installation makes more sense.

Lawn and turf is available as a standalone service or as part of a broader Landscape Design + Build.

What to expect

We'll look at sunlight, drainage and how the area is used, then recommend the right approach before anything goes down. If you're choosing artificial, we'll plan the base so it drains properly and doesn't feel spongy or uneven. Getting the preparation right is what separates a lawn that lasts from one that looks tired within a season.

“I had Nick and his team do some landscaping, planting, mulching, irrigation and general tidy up of my front yard and can honestly say he did a great job, was very responsive and provided very clear and competitive pricing. He had some good design ideas which helped me out a lot and I'd certainly recommend Nick and his team.”

Lawn + Turf install FAQs

Answers to the questions Melbourne homeowners ask most.

 

  • Cost depends on access, site preparation requirements and turf choice. In many cases the prep work drives the outcome (and the budget) more than the turf itself. Send a few photos and rough dimensions and we can usually give a realistic guide on turf grass installation cost early in the conversation.

  • It depends on the site and how you use the space. Natural turf performs well in good sun with reasonable drainage. Artificial grass lawn installation makes more sense for shaded areas, high-wear zones, courtyards or gardens where ongoing maintenance is a concern. We'll give you an honest recommendation based on your specific situation.

  • Modern synthetic turf products are significantly better than they used to be. Pile height, colour variation and texture have all improved. The finish depends largely on the quality of the product and the base preparation underneath. We'll advise on what performs well and looks right for a residential garden.

  • Most installations are completed in a day or two, depending on the size of the area and the amount of site preparation needed. If significant excavation or levelling is required, it may take longer.

  • Yes. Lawn replacement is one of the more common jobs we do; removing old or patchy turf, addressing whatever caused it to fail, and laying a new lawn with proper preparation.
