Turfing in Canterbury
A tired, patchy lawn is often beyond saving, and laying new turf is the faster way to a yard you actually want to spend time in. Outside Mates lays new lawns across Canterbury and the surrounding Inner East suburbs, from small front lawns to full backyard replacements, with the ground properly prepared before a single roll goes down.
Turfing, looked after right.
In Canterbury we start by clearing out the old lawn and turning over the soil, then level and prepare the ground so the new turf sits flat and takes evenly. We lay the rolls tight, roll them in, water everything down and leave you simple instructions for the first few weeks, which is when a new lawn is won or lost.
- Old or worn lawn removed and disposed of
- Ground levelled and soil prepared before laying
- Quality turf laid, rolled and watered in
- Top dressing and repairs for patchy areas
- Establishment and watering advice so it takes
A local team
Turfing is a one-day job with a few weeks of aftercare, so being local to Canterbury matters — we're nearby if you have questions while the lawn establishes, and we're happy to quote from a few photos or a short video.
Canterbury's substantial family homes, tree-lined streets and heritage gardens are some of the most beautiful in Melbourne's inner north and surrounds - and they need a team that respects that. Outside Mates services Canterbury with lawn mowing, lawn edging, hedge trimming, gutter cleaning and seasonal tidy-ups for homeowners, landlords and business owners. We handle mature hedges, extensive lawns and multi-storey gutter runs with the right equipment and insurance in place. Regular clients appreciate our consistency - same team, same standard, same day of the week. Ask for a fixed quote and we'll come back promptly. Most jobs don't need a site visit - just a quick video or some photos.
