Turfing in Carlton
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 Carlton and the surrounding Inner North 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 Carlton 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 Carlton 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.
Carlton's Victorian terraces, uni-facing share houses and small commercial premises off Lygon Street have their own maintenance rhythm - compact courtyards, tight lanes and lots of foot traffic. Outside Mates provides lawn mowing, lawn edging, hedge trimming, gutter cleaning and seasonal tidy-ups across Carlton for homeowners, landlords, real estate agents and business owners. We're patient with narrow access, careful around heritage brickwork and paving, and always tidy on the way out. If you need a one-off blitz before an inspection, or an ongoing maintenance run, we're a straightforward local option. Request a free quote - we'll come back with a fixed price fast.
