Turf Installation Greystanes

Turf Installation in Greystanes

Greystanes has some of the largest backyards left in the inner west of the Cumberland area, and the jobs here are usually full replacements rather than small patches. A typical Greystanes lawn has been in the ground since the seventies, is half couch and half winter grass, sits on shale clay from the Prospect ridge and has a hard pan under it from decades of mowing and play. Stripping and rebuilding the profile is the only way to get a lasting result.

On a large Greystanes area we bring in a turf cutter to lift the old lawn cleanly, spray any surviving runners, then rip the clay and spread a sandy loam underlay across the whole surface before screeding it flat. Kikuyu is a popular pick for those big open Greystanes yards because it establishes fast and self-repairs, while Sir Walter DNA Certified buffalo is chosen where mature trees and colorbond fences throw afternoon shade across part of the lawn.

Not every part of a big Greystanes yard suits living grass. Under a dense tree, along a shaded fence line or in a dog run, synthetic turf on a compacted base with a weed membrane keeps the area usable without the mud. Call 0492 879 796 and we can stage a large lawn replacement over a couple of days to suit you.
