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.

Replace Damaged Synthetic Turf in Backyard (4.5m x 2.2m)
$350
Brunswick West VIC, Australia
10th Dec 2025
Looking for synthetic turf to be replaced in my backyard due to damage from a fire pit. Considered replacing just this section but as the turf is minimum 5 years old there is some fading and discolouration, so probably easier to replace the whole piece. Job details: - Remove existing damaged synthetic turf - Supply and install new synthetic turf to match existing quality/appearance as closely as possible - Area: 4.5m long x 2.2m wide (approximately 10 square metres) - One corner has a small notch cut out (see photos) - Turf is laid over rubber matting underlay (matting is intact, does not need replacing) - Not fixed down - just needs to be cut and laid in place What I'm looking for: - Quote to supply materials and complete installation - Supply of mid-range synthetic turf quality (similar to existing, can provide more details/close-ups of the existing turf or need be). Does not need to be an *exact* match however - Professional finish with proper securing at edges - I'm happy to assist with any labour on the day and I'm happy to handle disposal of old turf myself through hard rubbish collection Photos show the current condition and layout. The turf is surrounded by timber garden beds. Happy to answer any questions or provide additional measurements if needed. Location: Park St, Brunswick West
