PREPARING AND INSTALLING NEW LAWN TURF
Installing new lawn turf is an exciting prospect – soon you will have a lush, green lawn to be enjoyed with friends and family, however some care needs to be taken to ensure that your new lawn has the best chance to thrive.
Preparation
It is essential that you take the time to prepare your backyard correctly for the laying of the new lawn turf. All of the old lawn and any weeds should be removed carefully, including any runners which may below the surface of the soil. You should then conduct a pH soil test to determine if your soil is lacking any of the nutrients essential for vitality and strong growth. Soil additives should now be added, if required, to adequately prepare the soil. You will also require 100mm of good soil underneath the new turf – if you don’t already have that in your yard then it will be necessary to have some brought in. More preparation tips and advice can be found here.
Installation
Laying turf can be completed either as a DIY project or by the professionals. Either way it is essential that the new lawn turf be kept moist at all times to ensure that the root system doesn’t dry out. Daleys Turf has lots of great tips and advice on how to lay new turf, including a laying new turf video to help you on your way.
Establishment
Once your new lawn turf is down you enter the establishment phase. During this time your new turf will require some TLC but this will be worthwhile – you will end up with a strong, healthy and thriving new lawn.
New turf will need to be kept moist during the establishment period which usually lasts around two weeks – during this time you may find that daily watering is necessary. Limit the amount of traffic on the new lawn, to allow the root system time to establish and the turf pieces to knit together.

Client Feedback
This time around, when we were looking for a lawn option to suit our new home, we knew it should come from Daleys Turf. They have a great variety of options in their farm, and from choosing the right lawn to all advice received and the installation - we cannot fault this business!
Special thanks to Patrick and his dedicated team for helping us create an amazing frontyard with their Sir Grange Zoysia.
We absolutely love the way it looks, and the very low maintenance required. We feel like living on a golf course with the best lawn in town.
From neighbours to people driving near our house, everyone loves it. It’s a show stopper!!
Thank you Daleys Turf
Cheers,
Marcelo and Gabi
Thanks again Tezz.
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
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.

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
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.
Cheers Daleys
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
