Professional, efficient and friendly! Rod recently completed our front take turf along with changing grass to gravel for our nature strip. The job was of high quality, Rod and his team were punctual, respectful and the workmanship was great. Rod was also very professional to deal with and was honest and friendly. I would have no issues recommending Rod to family and friends!

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.

We are looking with someone with expertise in removing grassed areas and preparing for native planting. This involves finishing the removal of the Kikuyu grass from our front lawn. Estimate quote would be great. We have recently used a Turf cutter to remove the top layer from our front lawn and have piled up the rolled up cuttings on our driveway. Due to rain we could not complete the job. We are looking for someone to help with - Finish removing the remaining grass. Some of this is still un-cut with the turf cutter and either needs manual digging or further turf cutting (see photo) - Expertise in preparing the area for garden soil and planting. Ensure as much as possible that the Kikuyu grass is removed to stop it growing through plantings on top (this is something we would like to discuss with e.g. should we use a herbicide?) - Removal of all turf and dirt from the property The current size of the grassed area is ~8m x 10m. The pictures show how much has been done to date and the current pile that is to be included in the turf to be removed - Due date: Flexible
