From patchy to finished

A new or restored lawn can give a tired outdoor area a clean, usable finish. We look at what is there first, then recommend the option that suits the property.

What we do and don't cover
We lay turf and restore lawns as part of landscaping and grounds work. Significant earthworks or engineered changes to levels may need other trades, and we will say so when we quote. Sometimes a lawn fails because of shade or soil rather than the grass, and we will be upfront about what new turf can and cannot fix.
Looking after the new lawn
A new lawn needs the right care early on. We can set up regular lawn care and irrigation, so the lawn stays in shape. See all landscaping services.
Turf and new lawn questions
Do you supply the turf?
We arrange suitable turf as part of our installation projects, so you don't need to source it yourself. We don't sell turf on its own.
Can you fix a patchy lawn without replacing it all?
Often, yes. We look at why it is patchy first, then recommend a repair or a full replacement.
Do you look after the lawn after it is laid?
Yes. We can set up regular lawn care so the new lawn stays in good shape.
Is irrigation worth adding with new turf?
It can help a lot. We install, check, adjust and repair irrigation systems, and will talk it through when we quote.
Can you do the lawn as part of a bigger landscaping job?
Yes. Turf often finishes a garden renovation, retaining wall or end-of-build job.
Where do you work?
From Kiama south to Sussex Inlet and west to Kangaroo Valley, including the towns and villages in between. See our service areas.
