Synthetic Turf across Sydney, built to handle the conditions rather than to suit a catalogue.
Every synthetic turf quote we write for Sydney starts on site, with photographs, levels and a walk of the full run. You cannot allow for access constraints that vary from a wide western verge to an inner-west rear lane from a satellite image.
In Sydney, this work is rarely a simple like-for-like replacement, largely because of councils that each interpret the same state controls slightly differently. The set-out matters as much as the material, and that is where a job either reads properly or does not.
We are based at Wentworthville and Sydney is well inside our regular run, so a site visit is a short trip rather than a scheduling problem.

Because so much of Sydney is the full spread of Sydney housing, from Victorian terrace to new release estate, boundaries and structures tend to have been built within a few years of each other. They also tend to reach the end of their life together.
On everything from flat river plain to steep sandstone escarpment, a level change has to be resolved rather than hidden. We work out whether it is stepped, raked or retained on site with you, before anything is measured up for order.
The two variables we record first on any Sydney site are the fall along the run and what the ground does at footing depth. On reactive shale clay in the west, sandstone and sand through the coast and north, those two answers set the specification for everything above them.
Before anything is fabricated for a Sydney property, we check what applies. the relevant local council publishes its controls, and heritage, bushfire and flood mapping can each change the answer entirely.
Height, position and appearance are the three things most often controlled. In Sydney, the relevant local council sets the local controls over the top of the state provisions, and forward of the building line is where they bite hardest.
Neighbouring properties, verges and driveways get protected. Around Sydney we allow for ground conditions that change completely between one side of the basin and the other, because a delivery in the wrong place causes more trouble than it saves.
Access shapes the price more than most people realise. Around Sydney we plan around a very wide range of housing eras with different original boundary types, which decides whether material comes in on a truck or on a barrow, and that difference runs through the whole program.
Most synthetic turf enquiries we take in Sydney come from the same place: a lawn that has rippled because the base was never compacted properly. It is worth understanding why that happens here before deciding what to replace it with.
UV stabilised synthetic grass on a properly compacted crushed rock base.
Excavation, crushed rock and compaction, which is what determines whether the surface stays flat.
Grades and underlays suited to play areas and impact attenuation requirements.
Lifting, re-tensioning and re-seaming turf that has rippled or lifted.
Free draining backings and infills chosen for households with dogs.
Falls and drainage layers so water leaves rather than sitting under the backing.
We stage the work so the property stays usable. On a boundary job that means a section is never left open overnight, and on a hard landscape job it means access to the house is maintained.
Our sequence on a Sydney job is the same every time: check services, confirm the boundary, set the footings out, cure properly, then build. Skipping the cure is the shortcut that shows up in year three.
In direct sun, yes, noticeably. On a west facing Sydney yard, allowing for coastal salt exposure on one side of the city and cracking clay on the other, a shade sail, planting or a lighter coloured infill all reduce it. Under filtered shade or a patio roof the difference is much less. It is worth being realistic about this before choosing rather than after.
A compacted crushed rock base, excavated deep enough to allow for it, laid to a fall and compacted in layers. On ground described as reactive shale clay in the west, sandstone and sand through the coast and north, this is the whole job. Turf laid on a skim of sand over existing soil will ripple within a season, and it is the part of the quote you cannot see once the grass is down.
On a properly built base, well over a decade of normal domestic use, with the fibre gradually flattening in the traffic paths rather than failing outright. On a poor base it can look wrong within two years. Around Sydney, the other factor is a very wide range of housing eras with different original boundary types, which affects how the surface is loaded and drained.
If the area gets sun, drains, and someone will water and mow it, natural turf is hard to beat and it stays cool. If the area is shaded, narrow, sits between buildings or takes constant dog traffic, synthetic wins because natural grass will never establish there. The aspect usually makes the decision for you.
Aspect decides it. Buffalo tolerates shade and handles the heat across the greater Sydney basin well. Couch loves full sun and repairs itself under heavy wear but thins badly in shade. Kikuyu is vigorous and cheap to establish but invades garden beds. We look at the sun hours before recommending.
