Wondering Whether to sow seed or lay turf

Many people believe that sowing lawn seed is the best way to a new lawn due to the expense of laying turf however that’s not necessarily true. Over time the increased maintenance and repair costs of a seeded lawn outweigh those involved in a turf lawn – and a newly laid turf lawn looks fantastic straight away!

Are you still undecided on which option to choose?
Consider the following points:

  1. There is no special care involved with turf since it is already a healthy and mature lawn plant. Just maintain usual lawn care of watering, mowing and fertilising and you’ll have a healthy lawn to enjoy for years to come.
  2. The establishment time for turf versus seed is next to nothing. Within weeks a turf lawn is fully established and ready to be enjoyed.
  3. Lawn turf can be utilised practically anywhere even in places that seeding would be a fruitless exercise or at the least a very expensive and ongoing exercise to become established. Turf will immediately help to stop soil erosion and water run off pollution and is particularly good for sloping areas where rain would usually cause soil and seed to be simply wash away in the first heavy downfall.
  4. Turf can be laid at any time of the year, especially in South East Queensland, so there’s no need to wait for the right time to get your new lawn.
  5. Within a matter of hours your yard can be transformed from bare soil to a healthy green lawn if you choose to lay turf. Not only will this add value to your home, it will add to the aesthetics and even reduce heating and cooling costs with its built in environmental benefits.

In today’s fast-paced world and current economic climate everyone is carefully considering all their choices when it comes to making any improvements to their home. A lawn is a valuable asset to any home and with turf you can save time and money rather than sowing seed, waiting and hoping it becomes established and spending more money over a longer period of time to maintain the plants from seed. With turf from a professional and accredited turf farm you will be assured of a healthy lawn from the very beginning.

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!

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.

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 🙂

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.
