How To Install Ready Lawn?

1. Clear the site of all debris
   
   
2. Kill existing lawn and regrowth with broad spectrum herbicide.  For best results follow up two weeks later to target potentially missed areas.
   
   
3. Cultivate your soil to a debt of 100mm using a rotary hoe.  For small indentations top up with top soil and for bigger areas use Gap 40 aggregate.
4. Compact with a roller 40-60mm of lawn mix.
   
   
5. Screed with a rake for final surface prep.  Make sure the level is at least 15mm beneath any existing paths or concrete edges because upon installation your ready lawn will be built up to sit above these.
   
   
6. For best results install Ready Lawn as soon as you can.  In the warmer months it will need to be stored under shade and kept moist.
   
   Install along the longest straight line, tightly pushing the edges against each other avoiding overlaps or gaps.

   Lay boards across Ready Lawn as you work to avoid footprint and other indentations.
   
   In sloping areas, start from the bottom and work your way up.
7. You are so close to the end!  Now it is time to tamp down your Ready Lawn to ensure that your turf comes in contact with the soil.
8. If trimming is required – use a sharp knife for best results.
9. Don’t delay with watering!  This is usually recommended within 30 minutes of laying your turf and about 30mm of water should suffice.  Water daily (or more often in dry weather) for two weeks until Ready Lawn has firmly taken root then it is less frequent depending on the weather.  Ensure areas where heat is reflected off buildings get extra water to prevent them from drying out.
10. Go over the entire area with a roller to ensure optimum turf to soil contact and the removal of any air pockets.
