Mowing (Initial mowing of new lawn)
- 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.
Watering
New lawns can be watered on the day of installation and then 1 hour a day for 21 days (including Mondays) between 4am and 7am or between 4pm and 7pm. Your invoice will act as a permit. Efficient irrigation devices must be used see www.qwc.qld.gov.au
Fertilizing (Initial Maintenance)
Initial Maintenance Your new lawn has no roots system established yet, so fertilizing program will be different for the first 12 months. It will always depend on your soil type and how much fresh & improved soil you have added to your site as to the frequency of the application of fertilizer.
Growing Sir Walter in Shady Areas
It is difficult to gauge how much sunlight an area receives, so the only method of working it out is to watch the area during the day and find out which direction it faces. Areas facing North & East are better than areas facing West & South.
Pests (Lawn Grubs)
Lawn grubs are a common problem in South East Queensland during the period from November to May, more so to couch lawns rather than ‘Sir Walter’ lawns, they are easily treatable if required, early detection and prevention is the simplest way.
Weeds
Weeds can be common in couch lawns, but rarely in ‘Sir Walter’, as it has the ability to choke out most other weeds. The main thing about weeds is to correctly identify the weed, to help you with this try following the links below or take a photo and email it to us.
Lawn Renovation Guide
To improve your lawn, maybe repair some damage area or adjust your mowing height it’s a good idea to renovate your entire lawn area. It is like pruning your lawn and is often done in spring, we have a DIY sheet (click here) for you to follow or call our office and we will arrange somebody to come out.
Top Dressing
To achieve the best results from a new lawn, top dressing should be carried out within the first spring (must be older than 12 weeks). This process levels out the lawn, improves drainage and improves the mowing finish.

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.

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
