New buffalo, kikuyu and zoysia lawn or maintenance-free synthetic turf for the established gardens and shaded yards of Fairfield.
Fairfield gardens are generally older and heavily planted, and that changes the turf conversation. A yard ringed by forty year old jacarandas, camphor laurels and fruit trees might only see three or four hours of direct sun in midwinter, and a sun-loving couch or kikuyu will thin out to bare dirt within two seasons under that canopy. Reading the shade pattern properly is the first thing we do on a Fairfield site visit.
For those shaded Fairfield yards Sir Walter DNA Certified buffalo is the reliable answer because it will hold on with roughly three hours of sun a day, and zoysia is the other option where the shade is dappled rather than dense. The open, north-facing Fairfield front lawns are a different story and take kikuyu or couch happily. We are also honest when an area is simply too dark for any living grass and synthetic is the only thing that will look green in August.
Established Fairfield yards also come with root mats, buried brick and decades of compaction, so preparation is usually more than a quick rotary hoe: we cut out the old lawn, remove roots and rubble and bring in fresh screened underlay. Call 0492 879 796 and we will walk the yard with you before quoting.
Soft-leaf buffalo selected for Fairfield yards that only get three or four hours of sun under mature trees.
Hard-wearing kikuyu for the open, north-facing Fairfield frontages that cop full sun all day.
A dense fine leaf that copes with dappled Fairfield shade and needs far less mowing than kikuyu.
Cutting out tired lawn, tree roots and buried brick from long-established Fairfield gardens before new turf goes down.
Where no living grass will hold, synthetic turf on a compacted base keeps a Fairfield courtyard green year round.
Fresh screened topsoil screeded to a true surface so a Fairfield lawn mows flat and drains away from the house.
Fairfield jobs vary widely because so many of the yards are established. Two lawns of identical size can differ a lot once you factor in stripping the old turf, digging out tree roots, importing topsoil and barrowing everything down a narrow side path. We measure on site, tell you exactly what preparation is needed and then issue a fixed written quote with no obligation.
Sir Walter DNA Certified buffalo is the most shade-tolerant of the common warm-season lawns and will generally hold with about three hours of direct sun. Zoysia is a good second choice in dappled light. Kikuyu and couch both need full sun and will thin badly under a Fairfield canopy. If the area gets less than three hours we will tell you honestly and suggest synthetic instead.
Yes, and in Fairfield it is usually necessary. We cut and lift the old turf, grub out surface roots, pull buried brick and concrete out of the profile and cart the lot away. Rotary hoeing an old weedy lawn just chops the runners into thousands of cuttings that reshoot through the new grass, so we strip rather than till on established sites.
Water deeply the day it is laid, then keep the underlay damp with a short daily soak for the first fortnight while the roots knit in. After that, taper back to two or three deeper waterings a week through the warm months. Shaded Fairfield lawns need noticeably less water than open ones, so watch the soil rather than following a fixed schedule.
We do, right across Fairfield, Fairfield West, Fairfield Heights, Cabramatta and Canley Vale. Synthetic is built on compacted road base and crusher dust with a weed membrane, glued and pinned joins and a brushed silica infill. It is the practical choice for the darkest Fairfield yards, unit courtyards and dog runs.
