How installation works
Five clear steps to a new lawn
The details change from yard to yard, but the order stays simple: assess, clear, prepare, lay and help the turf take root.
View our process- 01
Assess
We measure the lawn and work out what needs to happen before fresh turf can be delivered.
- 02
Clear
The agreed area is cleared back to ground that can be properly prepared.
- 03
Prepare
We create a smooth, firm foundation so the turf can sit evenly and meet nearby edges neatly.
- 04
Install
Fresh turf is fitted closely across the prepared ground and trimmed neatly around the yard.
- 05
Early care
The new turf is watered promptly and you are shown how to care for it while the roots settle in.
Natural turf options

Sunlight, family use, appearance and preferred upkeep all help narrow the choice. The final option is confirmed for the actual lawn and current availability.

Common questions
Turfing questions from homeowners in the North Shore
What turf suits a shaded North Shore yard?
It depends on how much direct light the lawn actually receives, along with the soil, watering and regular foot traffic. No natural turf will thrive if the area is too dark.
Can turf be laid on a sloping block?
Often, yes. The ground needs to be stable and prepared so the turf sits firmly. Larger retaining or drainage work may need to be completed first.
How are established trees handled?
We consider the shade and visible roots when planning the lawn. Tree work or major changes around roots are not automatically included in turfing.
What should I send for a turfing quote in the North Shore?
Send your suburb, a rough lawn size and photos of the full area, what is on the ground now and the route into the yard.
