Mowing

  • Lawns should be mowed regularly, weekly in warmer months, less in winter months.
  • Rule of thumb – only mow 1/3 of the leaf blade at any one time.
    On hot days, a lawn mowed during the middle of the day, will enjoy being watered after mowing.
  • Sharpen your mower blades as required, check the leaf blade tips, if they are badly damaged and have a brown tinge, it will suggest that your mower blades need sharpening or that you need to lower your mowing speed.
  • Always change the direction that you mow your lawn, each time you mow.
  • Clippings can be left on most of the time, unless they clump when the lawn is wet or too long like in the summer months.

TIP: After mowing your lawn, it will appreciate a drink.

Mowing

Mowing Height

Be prepared for excessive growth of your lawn when it is first installed. This is common for all types of turf varieties, as the turf has come direct from our farm without any roots and will grow madly until they are fully established again. Once your lawn has stabilised, within six – twelve months later, you will need to set your mowing height, ‘Sir Walter’ 30 – 40mm in full sun, ‘Sir Walter’ 50 – 60mm in shade, Wintergreen Couch 20 – 25mm, Blue Couch 25 – 35mm. You may need to mow it a couple of times to achieve this.

Client Feedback

Terry and Harley worked absolute wonders! So happy with our new lawn... from start to finish they were really easy to deal with and offered great advice! As soon as it was laid it looked like it had been there forever and it took to the soil beautifully! Terry was kind enough to give me his sprinkler and tap timer when he noticed ours had been broken - above and beyond! Pictures just under 4 weeks after installation - front before mow, inside fence after it's first mow! These are unedited... it's so green!! Thank you Daleys Turf!

I couldn't be happier with my experience with Daley's Turf! Not only is the product first class, but all of my interactions with the staff were very positive and helpful.

We are very happy with our new lawn laid recently by Daleys turf. We found Harley and all the staff at Daleys not only friendly but very professional. We found them very competitive and the job was carried out with the minimal of fuss. We would have no hesitation in recommending Daleys Turf.

Our excellent experience with Daleys Turf started when Harley Schenk arrived at our home to assess our requirements for a new front lawn. His expertise coupled with his friendly manner and detailed explanation created an immediate confidence that assurred us we had chosen the best company for our needs. Harley arrived on schedule, was well presented and wasted no time in preparing the quote. On the day of installation again he arrived on time with his colleague Patrick and together they carried out the task. They were painstaking in their efforts in preparing the site and laying the new turf. I have witnessed many lawns being laid in our suburb and I can honestly state that my lawn stands out from the rest, due to the quality of the product and the meticulous standard of Harley's workmanship. If you think your lawn is in need of replacement do not hesitate to engage Harley at Daleys Turf, you will not be disappointed.

We have no hesitation in recommending Daley's Turf to you. They have delivered a first rate product in a professional manner. There was great communication with the company. The turf was ordered, an onsite inspection and discussion of alternatives and in no time we have a beautiful lawn. Special thanks to Harley for making it happen.
