Garden Lawns and Turf
Hi
Has anyone any experience of turf being laid or of rapid lawn hydroseeding, where they "spray on your new lawn".
Does anyone have any idea how much turf is?
Cheers

Re: Garden Lawns and Turf
when we made our garden more child friendly we cleared an whole area and had it seeded. the thing with seeding is you do have to look after it very well for the first month until it is established, so watering couple of times a day then a cut, think it was 2 weeks later. the lawn is only as good as you look after it.
Can't really give you a cost for the 50m2 we had done as not sure if the $2100 covered the levelling, digger hire seeds and labour.

Re: Garden Lawns and Turf
I have to be careful shampooing these days as I can't afford to lose any more.
Reminds me of the old song 'I'm going to wash that hair right out of this man.' (Or something like that.)
Sorry, I've taken this thread off toupee - I mean topic.
