Frequently asked questions about installing turf
The best time is during the cooler months of autumn and spring. These seasons provide optimal growing conditions, with mild temperatures and regular rainfall, allowing the turf to establish strong roots before the heat of summer or the cold of winter.
It typically takes about 2 to 3 weeks for new turf to establish. During this period, it’s crucial to keep the turf well-watered and avoid heavy foot traffic. Proper watering and care during the establishment phase will ensure that the roots develop and the turf becomes resilient.
Newly installed turf should be watered daily for the first week to keep the soil consistently moist. Gradually reduce the frequency to every other day in the second week, then to twice a week in the third week. After the turf is established, you can water it less frequently, depending on weather conditions and the type of turf.
The best type of turf for your lawn depends on several factors, including your soil type, climate, and how you plan to use the lawn. At MODERN OUTDOOR LIVING, we offer a variety of turf options and can recommend the best one for your specific needs. Common choices in Melbourne include Buffalo, Kikuyu, and Couch grass – each has its own unique benefits.
It’s best to wait at least 2 to 3 weeks before using your new lawn. This allows the turf to establish its roots and become more resilient. During this time, avoid heavy foot traffic and ensure the turf remains well-watered.
While installing turf yourself is possible, hiring a professional ensures optimal results. Professionals have the expertise to properly prepare the soil, select the right turf, and install it efficiently. This reduces the risk of issues such as poor establishment and uneven growth, resulting in a healthier, more attractive lawn.
Pet-friendly turf is designed to be more durable and resistant to wear and tear caused by pets. It typically has better drainage. At Modern Outdoor Living, we offer pet-friendly turf options that provide a safe, enjoyable outdoor space for your pets.
