Turfing in Northcote
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 Northcote 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 Northcote 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 Northcote 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.
Northcote's Victorian and Edwardian cottages, warehouse conversions and family homes on the hill all have their own quirks - and outdoor spaces here often work hard. Outside Mates services Northcote with lawn mowing, lawn edging, hedge trimming, gutter cleaning and seasonal garden tidy-ups for homeowners, landlords, renters and businesses along High Street. We're used to sloping blocks, mature trees and tight rear access, and we work quietly and tidily out of respect for close neighbours. If you'd like a fixed, no-obligation quote, send us a quick video or some photos and we'll come back to you fast - no site visit needed.
