Site Preparation
Good site preparation is essential for a great lawn.
Putting the extra effort into preparing your soil will
provide great benefits for your lawn.
Tips for good site preparation:
1.
Spray existing weeds and grass.
2.
Remove all debris, eg. building rubble, cement etc.
3.
The Turf Industry recommends a top soil depth of
80-100mm.
4.
Rake the soil to level out.
5.
To ensure the turf is laid flush with driveways and
paths, the topsoil should be 25mm below the
concrete level for Wintergreen Couch/Zoysia or
40mm below for Soft Leaf Buffalo turf.
Measuring your area
Use a tape measure and accurately
measure the width and length of the area to
be turfed. Multiply the width measurement
by the length measurement to give you the
square metre (m
2
) area.
Quite often the area to be turfed is an odd
shape. We use the following method to
calculate the amount of turf required:
1.
Measure the length of the area.
2.
Then take multiple measurements of
the different widths and average them
out.
3.
Then multiply the length by the average
width to get the area in m
2
.
