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.

Artificial turf material and installation

$50

Camberwell VIC, Australia

24th Mar 2024

We are seeking assistance with the installation of synthetic turf in our front garden, covering an area of approximately 15 square meters. Currently, the area contains patches of natural lawn and weeds, as shown in the attached image, which require removal before installation can commence. We require a comprehensive installation process for the synthetic lawn, beginning with the placement of a weed mesh, followed by a layer of compact crushed rocks and another layer of fine crusher dust beneath the turf, among other necessary steps. We would like to receive a quote for the labour plus all the required materials (including turf, crushed rocks, etc) and for providing all required machines and tools (like compactor). We want this job to be done on the date mentioned above as we have only one day to access our property. Please consider a good quality turf with a natural colour in your offer.

Needing someone to remove and dispose of soil to make more level so artificial turf can be laid back down (would like this done too).

Area is approximately 2.5 metres x 1.5 metres. Would ideally like someone today (morning ok if wanting to beat the heat), or this Friday is also ok. Please give me your quote.
