Whether it’s your front verge or back yard a new lawn can help to bring your garden to life.
Lawn Installation Perth
Before your lawn installation we need to undertake a number of site preparations to make sure you get the best finished product.
All surrounding surfaces and irrigation must be installed prior to the lawn being laid. We install high quality reticulation systems underneath all our new lawns. By using high quality parts such as PVC, 100mm pop ups and waterwise Hunter MP Rotators, we ensure that your reticulation system is efficient and low maintenance.
Most importantly the soil, in many cases, should be improved. Even the best quality reticulation system will struggle to keep your lawn green if the lawn is laid directly on Perth sand. Lawn suppliers in Perth recommend either mixing high quality soil conditioners and improvers into the existing soil or installing a thick layer of new high quality soil under the new lawn. A good top soil will have the right water retention and nutrients to promote healthy root and leaf growth.
After levelling the soil we prepare the area with fertilisers to promote growth and lay the lawn. A compactor is run over the new lawn to help smooth out bumps and to bed the lawn firmly to the soil. If applicable a watering exemption can be approved by the water corporation and the irrigation is set to run 2-3 times per day to establish the lawn and the site left clean and neat. (See Exemptions)

Styles of Lawns
Sir Walter
Sir Walter is a soft leaf, buffalo lawn, that is very popular due to its shade tolerance and lush green colour. Sir Walter is also hard wearing and soft making it an ideal lawn to play on. We highly recommend Sir Walter as it is one of the best all-rounders on the market.
Empire Zoysia
Empire Zoysia is one of the lowest maintenance lawns available whilst still maintaining a great colour. It requires less water and fertilisers than other competing lawns and in some cases can be cut as little as four times per year. If you don’t like mowing, then this lawn is for you.
Wintergreen Couch
Wintergreen Couch is a native couch with a vibrant colour. Known for its hardiness and invasiveness this lawn can work well but only in certain situations. If your lawn area runs into the garden beds without any edging we don’t recommend this lawn. Otherwise Wintergreen is a very cost effective option as it is around half the price of other lawns.
Kikuyu
Kikuyu is an extremely hardy lawn that is often used in high traffic areas such as parks and school campuses. Although Kikuyu can be invasive it has a vibrant colour and, if you have big dogs, this lawn may be the one for you.
Velvetene
Velvetene has an extremely thin leaf and is one of the softest lawns to the touch. This lawn is fantastic looking and can be cut very short. If you want your lawn looking like a bowling green this is the grass for you.
