How to prepare for your new lawn installation

Some helpful groundwork covering the basics of preparing for the installation of your new lawn.

1. 00:10-00:17 Spray the area with a weed killer like “Glypho 360” to remove any weeds, unwanted vegetation or existing lawn and remember to follow the instructions on how to use the weed killer.
2. A common misconception: Digging out existing grasses isn’t always the best way to get rid of them as some grasses can go down over a meter.
3. 00:24-00:40If the soil isn’t ideal for installation of your new lawn, cultivate the soil with organic matter (use more organic matter for sandy soil) before spreading 100 millimeter over the surface with soil mix
4. If you have 150 millimeter of good soil already, there’s no need to add in any new soil.
5. Calculate how much soil you need: For a depth of 100 millimeters, you need 1 cubic meter per 10 sq. meters.
6. 01:12-01:22Spreading the soil: Once soil is cultivated and turf underlay soil mix has been spread, add some sir launcher which helps get your lawn started and established. Mix whatever you’ve added into the top 75 mm.
