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.

I have an unfinished fake grass installation job, the old contractor suddenly fell ill and is unable to finish the job. The work area is roughly 11x4 and there's is only access for people through the gate, meaning can't get heavy machinery like bobcats and stuff back there. See images for the access points. What's already done: - Removal of all small rocks/pebbles on the whole backyard. - Disposal of said small rocks/pebbles - Laying of garden bed/sleepers near the fence (unsatisfactory as it is all wonky and not straight) - Breaking up existing concrete slabs (preparation for laying faux grass) Job details - Levelling ground of the faux grass area - Laying base and compacting ground (crushed rock/road base to be purchased) - Weed barrier or weed mat (whatever is needed to stop vegetation from growing through) - Turf Laying and tucking (to be purchased) - Spread and brush infill (to be purchased) - Disposal of all rocks/cement that has been removed (is a must) - Straightening and fixing the garden beds properly. Please see images and videos attached of the work site. Turf in image is NOT the one going to be used, it was just a sample.
