Today was the final piece of the puzzle for our clients in Mcdowall. Was a team effort today laying 157m2 of buffalo. Thanks to my boys Mitch, my 15 yr old Caleb ( who is learning the ropes ) and to my partner Kane for lending a hand today and smashing it out for an early finish. 💪



Thankyou to Dean from The Turf Shed for supplying the turf to us again. 🫶

Today, we completed a turf installation project in Macgregor, covering 110m2. The project scope included removing the old grass, timber fence, and debris, followed by the installation of new buffalo grass. To promote healthy growth, we used a premium mineral blend in the under turf soil and applied a premium under turf fertiliser containing water crystals. This combination helps retain moisture around the root system, giving the lawn a solid foundation. Our team handled the project from start to finish, ensuring a smooth and efficient process.

Our team has diligently worked on transforming the property in Mcdowall, encompassing front, middle, and rear yard landscaping. The extensive project involved removing over 28 stumps, a lengthy row of hedges along the fence line, 7 tonnes of concrete from an existing garden shed slab, concrete garden edging, slate and sandstone pavers, and a substantial raised garden bed with a rock retaining wall. We repurposed the rocks to construct a new wall after garden removal and utilized the soil to level the yard. Preparations are underway for premium under turf soil, culminating in a fresh new lawn installation within a couple of weeks. This renovation aims to enhance the usability of the yard. We anticipate completing this project for the owners, who are expecting the arrival of their new baby.

A newly constructed residence in Sinnamon Park required yard cleanup, elevation adjustments for turf preparation, and subsequent turf laying by the client. We removed green waste, grass, rocks, and scraped back and filled lower areas. The house slab was built without proper site preparation prior to construction. Our client opted to undertake their own turf laying and add garden beds while working within a budget constraint. Although we distributed and levelled 40 tonnes of premium soil, unforeseen weather conditions arose, and a significant storm followed by persistent rainfall for two days resulted in the displacement of the topsoil layer before turf installation. We returned after the rain had stopped to help fill in and level the trenches the rain had created and tidy it up ready for our client to return from working away and lay his turf.

A recent client in Manly West engaged our services to create a low-maintenance outdoor space complete with a fire pit focal point and relaxation area following their home purchase. The existing yard was heavily vegetated and featured a sprawling greenhouse that covered most of the area. While the clients had made significant progress in clearing the site themselves, our team was brought in to finalize the project. Our scope of work included clearing and leveling the land in preparation for soil and turf installation, as well as removing an old concrete slab and pavers. We also installed a channel drain system to address flooding issues stemming from the improperly angled patio slab and plumbed it into the existing downpipe system, adding extensions where necessary. In line with the client's budget-conscious approach, we utilized recycled onsite materials wherever feasible and ensured all plumbing was sealed and watertight.

A previous client requested our assistance with astro turf installation, which, although outside our specialised services, presented an opportunity for growth and exceptional service delivery. We accepted the challenge and efficiently compacted and levelled crusher dust across the front, side, and back yards. Working closely with the client, we commenced laying the astro turf, selected for its cost-effectiveness and 2-metre width. The client has expressed a high level of satisfaction with the progress, and arrangements have been made for our return to complete the project. The remaining tasks include brooming the turf, adding more pins near the driveway, and trimming around the pathway before moving on to the next section.

A recent project undertaken in Algester for one of our valued clients involved the demolition of an existing pond, followed by turf laying and the installation of a channel drain. Our skilled team successfully completed the project in late January. We re used the rocks from the waterfall to create a garden edge saving our client money on new edging. Although the existing drainage system had five exit points, it was ineffective, resulting in patio flooding during rainfall. We effectively connected the channel drain to the existing uprights, and positive feedback from our client confirms that this solution has resolved the flooding issues. Due to unforeseen stock shortages, the installation of end caps for the channel drain was delayed. However, adhering to our commitment to project completion, we ensured the end caps were fitted once stock was replenished. This comprehensive approach underscores our dedication to managing projects from inception to completion, prioritizing quality and ensuring completion despite logistical challenges.

Managed to squeeze this footing trench and concrete extension prep job in this week also at Park Ridge South. Benefits of having an Acerage property allowing me to start at sunrise.
