To prepare your garden for turf laying services, follow these steps: 1. **Clear the Area**: Remove any existing grass, weeds, or debris from the site where the turf will be laid. This can be done by mowing, digging out the old grass, or using a weed killer. 2. **Soil Preparation**: Loosen the soil to a depth of about 10-15 cm. This will help the new turf roots establish more easily. You can use a spade or a rototiller for this. 3. **Level the Surface**: Rake the soil to create an even surface, filling in any low spots with soil. A flat, even surface will help prevent water pooling and encourage healthy grass growth. 4. **Soil Testing**: Consider testing the soil pH to ensure it's suitable for turf. You may need to add lime or sulphur based on the results. 5. **Adding Topsoil**: If your existing soil is poor, you can add a layer of quality topsoil to improve the drainage and nutrient content for the turf. 6. **Fertilisation**: Apply a starter fertiliser to give your new grass the nutrients it needs to thrive. Follow the instructions on the fertiliser packaging for the correct application rate. 7. **Watering**: Water the prepared area thoroughly before laying the turf. This will help settle the soil and provide moisture for the new grass. 8. **Plan for Installation**: Ensure you have planned how the turf will be laid out, taking into account sunlight and shade areas. Once your garden is prepared, you’ll be ready for the turf laying services!

At James W Landscaping in Rowville, we offer a variety of high-quality turf options for laying. These include: 1. **Kikuyu Turf**: Ideal for high traffic areas, it's robust, drought-tolerant, and establishes quickly. 2. **Buffalo Turf**: Known for its soft texture and shade tolerance, perfect for cooler areas and family-friendly spaces. 3. **Zoysia Turf**: A dense, heat-resistant grass that thrives in warmer conditions and requires minimal maintenance. 4. **Ryegrass**: Often used for quick patches or overseeding due to its rapid germination and vibrant green colour.
