Turfing in East Melbourne
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 East Melbourne 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 East Melbourne 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 East Melbourne 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.
East Melbourne's grand terraces, Fitzroy Gardens frontage and heritage streetscapes ask for a very careful, tidy standard of work - and we like it that way. Outside Mates covers East Melbourne with lawn mowing, lawn edging, hedge trimming, gutter cleaning and seasonal garden tidy-ups for homeowners, landlords, embassies, medical suites and small businesses. We're respectful of heritage detailing, cast iron work and bluestone paving, and we always leave the front path and footpath cleaner than we found it. If you'd like a fixed, no-obligation quote, send us a quick video or some photos - most East Melbourne jobs don't need an in-person site visit at all.
