How Does Hunter Turf Co. Turf Installation Work in NSW?

A turf lawn is an excellent option for anyone looking to add style to their backyard. With Hunter Turf Co’s help, you can quickly transform your yard into a professionally landscaped one without spending a fortune. This article explains how our professional gardeners perform the step-by-step installation process.

Ground Preparation

We begin by completely clearing the area to be turfed of rocks and other debris, and then we get rid of the old turf grass and any weeds that may be there. We next plough the soil with a rotary hoe or spade to loosen the top layer.


We add Gypsum to the subsoil to facilitate root development before laying grass. Our crew will then cover the area with high-quality topsoil. Then, we roll over the area to firm it up without compacting the dirt. This will create a smooth surface for the new turf to settle nicely.

Laying Your Turf

When you purchase grass turf from Hunter Turf Co., you’re buying it directly from the farmer. If you reside in Maitland, Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens, or the nearby regions, we can have your grass cut, rolled, packaged and delivered in a matter of hours.


As soon as the turf supplies are delivered to our landscaping crew at your site, they will begin laying it in a brick pattern, starting at the furthest from your exit and working their way back to prevent trampling the new turf grass.


Next, we will trim and form the lawn around the perimeter and any trees. You will be able to enjoy your new lawn once this is completed.

Turf Grass Maintenance

It is up to you to maintain your new lawn once it is laid. Ensuring your grass gets enough water in the first month is crucial to root establishing and keeping it healthy. A new turf will usually have yellow grass at the corners and margins, so don’t panic if you see this.


Until the grass has fully taken root, it is best to limit the amount of foot movement on the new lawn. You may do the initial cutting of the grass after around four weeks.


When mowing for the first time, start with a higher mowing setting than usual and gradually lower it as you go. Before mowing, make sure you can’t pull any slabs out of the ground. This helps to ensure that your grass turf has established deep roots.
