What do turf laying services include?
Are you looking for help to lay a new lawn for your home? Turf laying includes removal of old grass, laying of new turf, and giving advice on immediate and long-term maintenance of your new lawn. It doesn't matter whether you're planning on laying artificial turf during winter or summer.Â
Whatever the season, Taskers can readily work with you for all your garden turf laying needs. For more information about turf services, here are more details:
Winter turf laying
It's a common misconception that grass installation during winter is a big no-no. On the contrary, there are many benefits to turf laying during this colder season of the year. For one, your turf has enough time to settle and grow roots before the arrival of springtime. Also, laying grass turf during winter means you won't need to water it as often and thus makes it easier to maintain.
Your winter turf fitting service starts with a Tasker measuring your lawn area and preparing the ground for new turf. They level your soil using a rake, and carefully remove any weeds, stones, roots, and other debris. Your Tasker then starts to layout each turf roll ensuring each end is laid out as flat as possible. The last step involves checking if the entire lawn is shaped together firmly with no unsightly gaps between the turf.
Summer turf laying
Summer is that time of the year where people spend as much time as possible outdoors enjoying their home garden or lawn. Even with warmer weather conditions, you can still lay turf during summer as long as you know the basics of proper turf maintenance. Since turf rolled up during summertime can quickly lose its quality, your Tasker immediately gets to work by preparing the ground for turfing using a specialised pre-turfing fertiliser.
They quickly layout and water your turf to keep the soil from drying out. Your Tasker also uses laying boards to help avoid walking on wet soil and damaging it before installation. Once the job is complete, your Tasker can give out some reminders, including constant watering every day for the next two weeks.
AstroTurf installation
If you prefer to install specific brands of artificial grass such as AstroTurf, you can also get help from Taskers for artificial grass installation. Similar to turf laying, the first step involves measuring your lawn area and then removing the existing surface. If you own a small lawn, this task can be completed by hand. For larger spaces, it's best to use a turf cutter.
Your Tasker covers the topsoil with a sand or stone base before they compact it using a vibrating roller or plate. Then, they carefully roll out your artificial grass in the direction of your house for a more natural look. Finally, your Tasker trims away any excess grass and brushes your entire lawn to complete your AstroTurf installation.

Clear weeds and grass from front yard ready for turf and mulch
$200
Chelsea Heights VIC 3196, Australia
9th Sep 2026
Clear weeds & grass from front yard ready for turf and mulch We’re looking for someone to clear and prepare our front yard so we can lay new turf and mulch. The job involves: Digging/removing all weeds and unwanted grass from the front yard Completely clearing the middle grass/weedy section shown in the photos, ready for us to prepare and lay new turf Clearing the heavily weeded/dead section along the front fence Removing weeds/grass from the existing garden bed areas that we’ll be mulching Pulling up/removing the loose brick edging where required Raking/roughly levelling the cleared areas afterwards Removing and disposing of all weeds, grass, roots and green waste yourselves We don’t need turf or mulch supplied or installed — we’ll do that ourselves afterwards. The yard isn't particularly large, but it is quite overgrown in sections and we’d like as much of the roots removed as reasonably possible rather than simply whipper-snipping everything down. Type of gardening: Weeding, Garden cleanup Size of garden: Under 50m² Has green waste bin: No

Lay 5sqm of artificial turf

I have a 2.4m x 2.3m courtyard. I have bought two 1 x 3m of artificial turf, along with double sided turf tape, to lay in the space. Should be relatively straightforward. Need the turn laid, ideally with as few joins/ seams as possible. I have included a diagram below, but would actually like the seam/ join to be on the left side, as the door/ visibility is on the right. It needs to be laid very flat, so the door can open.

Replace garden bed with new brick edge, remove soil, lay turf
$200
McKinnon VIC 3204, Australia
18th Aug 2026
I want to roughly halve the size of this garden bed, replacing sleepers with a brick edge and turfing the rest. Can either quote on the full job or just soil removal. Current dimensions are approx 2mx5m. Soil needs to be level to lawn, and is currently 10-20cm above. So maybe 1-2 cubic metres of soil to go. May also want to remove the green planter and soil (approx 2x1m, 50cm deep). If quoting on the full job, brick edge would need to match as in other places. I can organise planting. Questions welcome! Timeframe is flexible. Rear lane access fits a Ute or small truck and is only a few metres from the garden bed.
