Turfing in Ivanhoe
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 Ivanhoe and the surrounding North 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 Ivanhoe 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 Ivanhoe 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.
Ivanhoe's beautiful Edwardian and Californian bungalow homes, established gardens and elevated blocks are some of the best-presented in Melbourne's inner north and surrounds - and we love working on them. Outside Mates services Ivanhoe with regular lawn mowing, precise edging, hedge trimming, gutter cleaning and seasonal garden tidy-ups for homeowners, landlords and businesses. We're comfortable with mature hedging, sloping sites and long gutter runs, and we bring the right equipment and insurance to work on them safely and thoroughly. Regulars appreciate a team that turns up, quotes fairly and finishes the job. Ask for a free quote - most jobs don't need a site visit at all.
