Lawn Solutions for a weed free lawn

Weeds are opportunistic, invasive and just plain annoying: they are the bane of all proud lawn owners. They will compete with lawn plants for essential resources such as water, oxygen and nutrients in the soil.

Weeds are the most common issue lawn owners face. They are a real problem that usually lead to wasted time and money trying to solve the weed issue. The reason you have the weeds in the first place is because you have a lawn variety that doesn’t suppress weeds. You need a soft leaf buffalo lawn and you need a very good one like ‘Sir Walter’ as this one has proven itself over the years as the premium choice. The best solution is to remove the existing lawn and install a brand new ‘Sir Walter’ DNA Certified lawn. No more weeds, no more pests to worry about, it even handles the shade and it will survive the wet season no worries.

Weeds will take full advantage of a lawn that is in its dormant phase over the cooler months and a lawn that is struggling or not in the best of health.

Lawn solutions for a weed free lawn include maintaining a good lawn care regime of mowing, watering and fertilising which will help your lawn to be strong and healthy and minimise the opportunity for weeds to take hold and take over your lawn.

Weeds need to be dealt with as soon as they appear to stop the invasion, particularly during colder months when your lawn is essentially asleep providing the opportunity for them to take over.

Controlling weeds in the lawn:

  • Weeds can be removed by hand but make sure that all the root system is removed. Younger weeds will be easier to remove. This method must be done before the weeds are allowed to go to seed in order to stop them from spreading to another part of your lawn. While this may be the healthiest and least traumatic option for your lawn, it is very labour intensive and time consuming exercise.
  • Apply a weed control product or herbicide. Herbicides are divided into two main categories; selective and non-selective and it is critical that you choose the right one. Some non-selective herbicides can be damaging to different varieties of lawns like Sir Walter Buffalo grass, killing it along with the weeds. Choosing a selective herbicide requires you to first identify the type of weeds in your lawn and choosing a product that targets those types of weeds.

There are many different herbicide products available with many different active ingredients. Your local lawn care specialist, hardware or gardening store can help when you are armed with the knowledge of the variety of lawn you have and the types of weeds present, then you will be able to get the right advice for what weeds you are dealing with so you can be on your way to a weed free lawn.

It is important to carefully read all of the attached instructions prior to use and apply only as directed. Always avoid skin contact with weed control products. The manufacturer’s instructions will also inform you of whether or not the product is safe for use around pets and children. In some instances it may be advisable to keep them away for a period of time after application, usually 24 hours.

Weed killers are also more effective during the growing season; the warmer months.

Many herbicides are now available in:

  • Concentrates
  • Hose-on options
  • Granule
  • Liquid

Choose the application you are most comfortable with to ensure the correct dosage for your lawn. Measure your lawn to make sure that you are applying the right amount.

The process for applying a weed control product:

  • Fertilise your lawn a week or two before the application to encourage the weeds to grow above the level of the lawn to make them easier to identify and treat.
  • Don’t mow your lawn before or after the weed control application; give the product time to work through the weed from the leaves to the root system.
  • Water the lawn lightly before application or apply the weed killer early in the morning to
    take advantage of the dew present.
  • Don’t water your lawn for 48 hours after application.a

If you engage someone to mow your lawn make sure that their mower, edger and other equipment is cleaned prior to being used on your property. Seeds of weeds can easily be introduced to your lawn by being transported from someone else’s yard. Take care when bringing new turf or soil into your yard as these too may bring unwanted weeds with them.

The best weed control method is always to ensure that your lawn remains in the best possible health all year long. This will give any weeds less opportunityto move in and take over.

We requested a quote from Daleys Turf which we received in a very timely manner. They were punctual in the spraying and attended to the replacement of the grass in an excellent manner. They worked very hard on day day until the job was completed. Would be happy to recommend them to anyone needing new grass. Thanks,
Ozzie Emery
Friendly and knowledgeable staff that give great advice on your lawn care.
Jan Saunders
The transformation in our backyard is simply amazing! Pat and his team were friendly and answered all of our questions prior to and during the project. The guys worked seamlessly and passionately to complete the task in just one day. Our yard has gone from an ugly mass of mud and bumps to a beautiful green smooth and silky lawn. Can't recommend Daleys Turf enough.
Angela De Paula Assis
Daleys Turf have the most incredible customer service. We dealt with Carmel, Harley, Pat and Michael, all of whom were patient and generous with their time and advice when we needed some guidance to care for our 6 month old lawn. I highly recommend Daleys Turf.
Chris Smallwood
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. I loved the energy of everyone I spoke to and my new turf looks amazing! Well worth the drive up from Ipswich. Thanks again guys!
Bruce Fraser
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.
Johan Vinnersted
Absolute pleasure working with these guys! They were flexible and professional all the way through and the outcome was amazing. And...the price was really competitive too! Would not hesitate recommending to anyone who’s looking to get some turf done. Thanks to Harley and his colleagues for a job well done.

Friendly and helpful staff who went above and beyond for me. Gave me brochures for my customer to ensure they knew how best to look after their lawn with watering and weeding and fertilising tips. Definitely going back.
Gemma Stevens
My backyard went from mud pit and weeds to the perfect lawn. I had tried to do it myself but it failed…. Nothing took. I did the bunnings turf which was taken over by couch again somehow. $800 wasted. Daley have finally given me the lawn I so badly wanted. The grass has taken. It’s high quality. I got a certificate as certified sir Walter and looks amazing !! Pat and team used the appropriate chemicals to kill everything off before prep day. It was expensive for 50m2 (approx $2500) but you know what, sure was nice to come home and it was all taken care of! The boys had to spray twice, add a fair bit of soil, grade it, and supply and install. It was worth it for me considering how much money I had already wasted. So save up and get pros in!! For sure!! Pats always willing to take call and give advice to ensure appropriate care of lawn in early days which I was thankful for post some investment gone into this. They also fertilised my neighbours front yard for using their drive way and there grass looks great right now. So the quality of products they use is good. Super happy with result- appreciate it thank you Pat and Delays Turf team
ross shinkel
Daleys Turf are a really great business to help you with all your lawn needs. We had a problem with drainage at our property and lost some of the turf that Daleys had supplied. Harley and the staff were very understanding,helpful and honoured the guarantee, supplied replacement turf. We would highly recommend this business and particularly Harley for excellent service
Greg Le-Merton
Extremely impressed with Daleys Turf from our initial site visit by Patrick to the finished product (Sir Walter Buffalo) …. The crew led by Pat did an exceptional job & the follow up calls to see how we’re going has been amazing. The finished product was above our expectations - well done guys
Colette Taylor
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.

Terry and his team are fantastic people to deal with. They have a real wealth of knowledge, are extremely helpful and were happy to advise us on the best turf for our landscape situation. They even lent me a roller!! 😁 Thanks again Tezz.

Pat took care of everything from start to finish, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. It all started when Pat came to my house to measure the lawn area and kindly explained in detail which type of grass would be best for my needs. He even took me to the farm to show me all the different options in person, which made the decision process so much easier. When it came time for the installation, Pat prepared the ground beautifully and laid the grass with such precision and care. Now, every time someone visits my home or passes by, they can’t stop complimenting how amazing the lawn looks. Some even mistake it for artificial turf and feel the need to touch it to confirm it’s real! Thanks to Pat’s attention to detail and professionalism, my lawn looks absolutely stunning. I highly recommend Pat for anyone considering new turf – he truly goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional results. Sylvia xx
Karra Haight
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!
Christiene Kay
Daleys turf did an amazing job at prepping and laying our Newley renovated house backyard, from start to finish they provided a very educated, professional service that made it easy to choose them to do the job! They have transformed the area! Couldn’t be happier!
adrian merzi
After all this rain I had to to redesign the front garden leaving bare patches in the lawn.I went to Daley’s turf to grab a couple of rolls buffalo and found the staff went above and beyond to help with what I needed, so helpful and obliging. Would definitely recommend to everyone.
Jon O
What a bloody sensational job! Had the boys from Daley’s Turf supply and lay the turf at our house this morning. The Sir Walter turf was top notch quality (the deepest green I’ve ever seen) and all the workers were friendly, polite and very knowledgeable. Also had the privilege of meeting the owner when he came to quote the job, so a massive thanks to you Terry and your staff. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!!
Donna Breen
Couldn’t be more than happy with Daleys Turf. So helpful with picking our lawn and went out of there way to help lay it Even came round the next day to check every thing was ok. Would highly recommend all the staff. So helpful
Jazzy B
Recently had over 1100 sqm of Sir Walter DNA Certified turf installed at my property by Daley's Turf. The turf is superb quality and looking fantastic in my front & backyards. The whole project management with Harley was 100% outstanding ~ from the initial & follow up consultations, soil preparation advice, help choosing the right turf for our block and finally the install with his small team. Absolute 5 star review to Daley's Turf for such an amazing project done to the highest level. Thanks 🙂
Luke A
Incredible install from Pat and his team at Daleys. These guys are super knowledgeable and very passionate. It was very refreshing to deal with such professionals. These photos were taken a couple months after install on the first mow. It looks and feels incredible.
