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. 


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.

Chadstone VIC, Australia

We need some pet friendly turf installed professionally. We currently have some that is not dog friendly and doesn’t drain properly, making it unusable for us. The area is not level, so it would require levelling with installation. ⭐️ MEASUREMENTS: 10 metres long x 2.2 metres wide. We are keen on the “K9 turf” in the DrainPro range. I believe it’s available at Bunnings. ⭐️ Please note we will only be considering PROFESSIONAL installers who have photos and reviews of their work.

Move dirt to front of property, lay turf and rock

$280

Botanic Ridge VIC, Australia

17th Nov 2025

Looking for someone to finish off our backyard clean up and landscape due to my husband’s back injury, he cannot complete and original air tasker has fallen through. We need the remaining dirt pile out the back, about 3-4 cubed metres wheelbarrowed to the front of the property about 30-40metres away. We’d then like turf laid where the dirt is, roughly about 35 square metres and about 20 square metres of rock to fill 2 pathways and small space under the pergola currently covered by dirt. We’ll pay for turf and rock separately but do need you to collect/deliver to the property. Preference is this is done on Tuesday 18th Nov and you can access property from 7:30am. Please ask any questions and quote us.

We are preparing our house to put on the market and have a photographer booked in mid-September. Our existing grass has been worn out by our large dogs. We need the existing grass and topsoil removed, the soil prepared, and new turf laid so that it looks established and an amazing lawn for kids to play on for our open-for-inspections from the end of September. Allow for all waste to be removed from the property. The area is flat and is about 3 metres wide, and 12 metres long. Access is via a concrete driveway and then through a gate about 900mm wide (no steps). We will be keeping the dogs off the new grass until the auction day!

Luke is one of the best turf layers in Victoria. Highly recommended. Thanks Luke

Supply & Install Artificial Turf – (Cranbourne West)

$5

Cranbourne West VIC 3977, Australia

5th Aug 2025

Hi there, I’m looking for a professional to supply and I install artificial turf for a dog-friendly outdoor concrete area at my home in Cranbourne West. Can be inspected 16th August onwards. Budget is just an indicative - can be negotiated. I haven’t locked in the exact spot yet — I’m deciding between: • Option A: 13 sqm • Option B: 8 sqm This will be a dedicated dog space, so proper drainage, pet safety, and low odour are priorities. Scope includes: • Waterproof membrane on concrete • Drain cell base • Zeofil (or equivalent pet-friendly infill) • Timber or aluminium edging (happy to take your recommendation) • 40mm plush, permeable artificial grass (must be good for drainage and dogs) • Full installation Please provide: • Pricing for both options (including supply + install) • Any advice on which option would be better for drainage and maintenance Looking for someone with experience in dog-friendly turf installations who can guide me on the best solution for long-term performance. Thanks!

Honest, on time , reliable. Gave us really good advice. Highly recommend Teck! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
