Our Home Lawn Preparation Process

Achieving a lush, healthy lawn starts with the right groundwork.

At Hanceys Turf, we follow a proven process to ensure your site is perfectly prepared for new turf, giving your lawn the best chance to thrive in Queensland’s conditions.

Site Assessment and Planning

We begin by evaluating your yard’s soil, drainage, sunlight, and existing vegetation. Our team identifies any challenges and creates a tailored preparation plan for your property.

Weed and Debris Removal

All existing grass, weeds, and debris are thoroughly cleared from the area. This step prevents future weed problems and creates a clean slate for your new lawn.

Soil Improvement and Levelling

We improve your soil by adding quality under-turf mix, correcting pH if needed, and ensuring the surface is level and smooth. Proper soil preparation is key to healthy root growth and even turf coverage.

Drainage Solutions

If your site has drainage issues, we implement solutions such as grading, installing drains, or amending soil structure. Good drainage prevents waterlogging and promotes strong turf establishment.

Final Preparation and Fertilising

Before laying turf, we apply a starter fertiliser and give the soil a final rake to create the ideal surface for new roots to take hold.
