How do I know how many square meters to order?
Measuring your lawn area is easy. Simply use a measuring tape to measure the width and length then multiply these together, giving you your square metre total.
It is advisable to allow extra turf when ordering as you will have some wastage, particularly if your lawn is of an irregular shape.
If you are not sure on how to measure up your lawn area shape, please check out this handy video below or Contact our Friendly Sales Team.
What do I need to do before my lawn arrives?
It is advisable when preparing for your new Lilydale Instant Lawn that you have at least of 100mm of well worked soil.
1. Remove all existing grass, weeds, stones & other debris. Roundup or Glyphosate can be sprayed on your existing grass 7 days prior to any soil cultivation.
2. There are two ways in which a base of 100mm can be achieved. Firstly you can rotary hoe your existing soil if suitable, alternatively if you have minimal or poor soil you can add additional blended soil mix to your site. Your local garden supplier will advise the correct turf blend soil to use in your area.
3. Rake the entire area to ensure there is a smooth, even surface and allow between 20mm – 25mm below your path, driveway or garden for the thickness of our QWELTS.
Is it easy to lay your own instant lawn?
Sprinkle the Starter Fertiliser evenly over your prepared area before you begin laying your turf.
Begin laying your QWELTS along a straight edge, such as a driveway or path.
Start laying your QWELTS in the furthest point & work your way backwards, which allows you not to walk on your new turf.
Lay your first row down end to end, laying the full QWELTS flat with the edges butted up together but not overlapping or squashed into each other otherwise you will use more turf than necessary, it will also cause the turf to dry out quickly & decreases the root to soil contact which is required for quicker establishment.
On the next row start with half a QWELT this will give you a brickwork laying pattern so that the joins are staggered.
On the third row, start with a full QWELT following the same pattern throughout your area.
You can cut and shape the QWELTS to conform to your area with a sharp steak knife or hedge shears.
With your remaining Instant Lawn off cuts don’t throw these away. When you have finished laying you will probably find there are a few unusual spaces to fill and these bits are perfect for that.
We advise to begin watering your lawn as soon as it has been laid. For bigger quantities of instant lawn, we advise that you begin watering once you have laid half or a smaller section of the turf. A thorough soaking of your Lilydale Instant Lawn is required (approx. 1000 litres per 100m2).
It is vital that your Lilydale Instant Lawn is kept moist until the root growth is established. This may be acheived by watering your lawn frequently. Once the roots have taken hold, watering can be eased off. Tank and grey water are great alternative water solution.
