Synthetic Turf Specialists Working in Sydney

Half the skill in synthetic turf around Sydney is knowing what not to disturb. Established gardens, old services and a very wide range of housing eras with different original boundary types all sit in the way of the obvious approach.

There is a pattern to synthetic turf jobs in Sydney, where the housing is largely the full spread of Sydney housing, from Victorian terrace to new release estate. A whole street tends to reach the same point at the same time.

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.

If you want a straight answer about what your Sydney site actually needs, call 0492 879 796 and we will come and look at it.

The Synthetic Turf Formats We Build

Common Problems We Are Called To Fix

Ask three contractors for synthetic turf in Sydney and you may get three different answers. The difference usually comes down to whether anyone has looked at councils that each interpret the same state controls slightly differently before pricing the job.

• Edges lifting where there was no perimeter restraint
• Seams opening up where rolls were laid in opposing directions
• A lawn that has rippled because the base was never compacted properly
• Water sitting under the backing because drainage was not designed

Soil, Slope and Access in Sydney

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.

Site conditions here run to everything from flat river plain to steep sandstone escarpment. Levels get set out and recorded before anything is ordered, because a change of grade halfway along a run is a design decision, not something to improvise around.

Nothing about Sydney is standard once you get past the front gate. We measure the whole site rather than the section you called about, because coastal salt exposure on one side of the city and cracking clay on the other has a habit of turning up mid-job otherwise.

The Way We Run a Sydney Project

Existing survey marks are worth finding before the first hole goes in. A boundary argument costs far more than an hour spent looking, and around Sydney the older subdivisions do not always agree with the plan.

We set out the whole run first, mark the levels, and agree the approach on site before anything is ordered. Once material is cut for a Sydney job it is committed.

• Crushed rock base preparation
• Pet friendly and playground grades
• Seam joining and shading matched rolls
• Synthetic turf supply and installation
• Perimeter fixing and edging
• Drainage layers and falls

What the relevant local council Controls

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.

Approvals are administered by the relevant local council, and the controls that matter sit in its development control plan alongside the relevant state provisions. What applies to your street is what counts, not what a neighbour did five years ago.
