After you’ve received your turf from us at Instant Turf Melbourne, and once it’s been laid, keeping your new lawn healthy doesn’t necessarily mean lots of chemicals and sprays! Regular watering, mowing and correct fertilising will keep your lawn looking great season after season.

Watering: It’s important to water your lawn at certain points during the day, so you’re not losing precious water by evaporation! Water your lawn in the early morning or just as the sun is about to set to maximise the amount of water your lawn receives.

Mowing: Mowing regularly to keep your lawn nice and trim – but don’t mow at the lowest setting! For lawn health, leaving the grass at a good length helps shade the new grass growing underneath. You can also leave the grass clippings on your lawn to return those nutrients back in to the earth.

Fertilising: Choose the correct fertiliser for your lawn for the best results. Read the labels on the bag, or ask your gardening store for advice for which fertiliser best suits your grass type.

Laying turf is not a terribly difficult job and can be accomplished by people of all ages. But to get the best results, it’s important that you measure your lawn correctly and by preparing your area correctly.

We’ve got hints and tips to not only help you get your new turf started on the right foot, but in also caring and looking after your new lawn. With a bit of love and attention, your new lawn will thrive and keeping looking it’s best year after year.
