New turf that takes on coastal soil
Turf on sandy Dunsborough soil fails when the ground underneath is not right. We strip and level the base, add soil and wetting agents so it holds water, lay the turf butted tight, then set up the watering and feeding that gets it rooted in. Repairs and re-turfing of tired lawns are done the same way.

Yallingup
“Travis exceeded our expectations at every stage of our large rear block landscape project. He has an incredible eye for what will work, outstanding communication and delivers on time, on budget and to an exceptional level. From clearing a steeply sloping block to retic, corten steel path edges, new lawn and gorgeous beds, he did it all single handedly.”

Autumn and spring are ideal, when the soil is warm but the heat has eased, so the turf roots in fast with less water. Summer laying is possible with a proper watering schedule. Winter is slower but still works.
Warm season grasses do best here. Couch and kikuyu handle full sun and wear, buffalo copes better with shade and salt air. We will recommend one for the site once we have seen it.
It depends on the area, how much ground work is needed and the grass type. We measure up, then send a fixed written quote within 24 hours that covers removal, preparation, turf and laying.
Keep off it for the first two weeks while it roots, then light use is fine. The first mow is usually two to three weeks in, once it has knitted to the ground.
Often, yes. Worn patches and dead areas can be cut out and relaid to match the existing grass, and thin lawns can be helped with aeration, feeding and overseeding before re-turfing is needed.
