Great turf starts long before the rolls arrive. We assess the soil, fix levels, improve drainage, and select the right turf varieties for your sunlight, shade, and how you want to use the space.

We prefer working as part of larger outdoor projects, but we’re happy to help with stand-alone lawns when the site is ready.
Need more than grass? We can integrate new turf with retaining walls, backyard landscaping, or broader landscaping project work, and we also handle fake grass installation where low maintenance is key.
Whether you’re after a full landscape or just the finishing touches, we’ve got you covered. Call Green Envy Landscape & Garden Services on

OUR TURF INSTALLATION PROCESS & OPTIONS
Proper preparation is the key to a lasting lawn. We start by clearing old growth, grading soil for fall, and importing under-turf mix where required.
Compaction and contouring help water move the right way. We apply starter fertiliser, check irrigation coverage, and then lay turf in tight, staggered joins so seams disappear as it knits in. Different varieties suit different uses—family play, shade areas, and show lawns—so we guide you through buffalo, couch, Kikuyu, and more.
If you’d rather skip mowing, synthetic or fake grass can be blended into the same project. Choosing turf as part of wider works lets us align levels with paving, garden beds and retaining walls for a clean finish that drains well and wears evenly.
- Soil prep & levelling
- Drainage & irrigation checks
- Aftercare guidance & support
Good turf shouldn’t be guesswork. We’ll help you choose the right variety, prepare correctly, and keep it healthy through establishment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best time of year to lay new turf?
The best time to lay turf largely depends on your local climate, but generally, spring and early autumn offer ideal conditions. These seasons provide mild temperatures and consistent rainfall, which help new turf establish strong roots before facing extreme weather. In warmer regions, turf can also be laid during winter if the ground isn’t too cold. Laying turf during the peak of summer can be challenging due to increased watering demands, while extremely cold winters can delay root establishment. Regardless of the season, proper soil preparation and aftercare are key to long-term success.
How do I prepare my yard for turf installation?
Preparing your yard for turf installation involves clearing the site of existing grass, weeds, rocks, and debris. Once cleared, the area should be levelled and graded to ensure proper drainage. It’s important to improve the soil by incorporating organic matter or under-turf soil, then compacting it lightly to create a firm base. Installing a starter fertiliser will promote strong root growth. A professional turf installer may also test the pH of your soil to ensure optimal growing conditions. Proper preparation lays the foundation for healthy, long-lasting turf.
How long does it take for new turf to establish?
Most new turf varieties take between two to four weeks to establish, though this can vary depending on the turf type, weather conditions, and how well it's maintained. During the establishment phase, frequent light watering is essential to keep the roots moist and encourage growth. After the first few weeks, watering can be reduced as the roots develop deeper into the soil. It's important to avoid mowing until the turf is well anchored and to delay heavy foot traffic during this period. Full establishment can take up to six weeks, especially in cooler months.
