FAQS
Our turf rolls are 600mm wide and 1700mm long (1msq).
Your turf is delivered on a truck and is unloaded using a truck mounted forklift. The forklift has a specially designed push arm to slide the turf off the pallet on delivery, meaning there’s no pesky wooden pallets left behind.
Our delivery truck is a heavy rigid truck and can carry 10 full pallets of turf. Deliveries to most suburban sites is no problem. If you have restricted access to your property a phone call and some photos is always helpful.
Our Forklift needs a minimum 3m wide clearance to gain access to yards and is 3m tall. It also weighs roughly 3T when carrying a full pallet of turf so areas of soft or wet ground may limit access.
The amount of water that will need to be applied to a new lawn will change depending on the conditions at the property where the lawn was laid. The principle involved will always be the same – which is to keep the soil underneath the turf moist at all times.
Dry Hot Weather: New lawns which are laid during the heat of summer require the greatest amount of water which may be as often as 4 times a day in the first week.
Warm Weather: Warmer weather in the high 20°Cs to early 30°Cs will require the new lawn to be watered a little less frequently, which may be around 3 times a day.
Cooler Weather: Cool weather requires less water again and may be as low as 1 – 2 watering’s a day.
Rainy Weather: During cool rainy weather, it is likely that the new roll on lawn will require no extra watering by the homeowner in addition to what it is already receiving naturally from the rain.
It is best to lay your turf as soon as possible after delivery, within 24 hours at most. During the warmer months it is best to lay your turf early in the morning or later in the evening to avoid the hottest parts of the day and begin watering as soon as it is laid.
