Maintenance free perfection
The popularity of artificial lawn has increased rapidly over the years becoming the preferred choice of lawn installation with the majority of Adelaide's new home owners. Although the increasing cost to water and maintain a natural lawn is a contributing factor, the main reason most opt for an artificial lawn installation is to enjoy a lush, well presented lawn all year round without the constant need to mow, water or weed. The only maintenance required keep artificial lawn looking its absolute best is an occasional brooming to help lift and rejuvenate the turfs synthetic fibres.
Comparing the cost
Although the initial cost of installing artificial turf is higher than that of Instant lawn, it doesn't incur the ongoing cost to water, fertilizing, spray and mow that's needed by a natural lawn. Over time, these savings not only cover the initial higher expense, but will continue to save money into the future.

*Installation starts with the excavation of earth to a minimum depth of 80mm-130mm depending on the demands of the application.

For some people, there's no substitution for the look and smell of a freshly cut natural lawn, and the latest genetic modifications made to some of our favourite varieties have made them easier to establish and maintain than ever before.
Varieties such as Sir Walter Buffalo, the dwarf, male sterile Village Green Kikuyu, Santa Ana Couch and Sir Grange Zoysia have all undergone changes making them extremely hardwearing and drought tolerant, perfect for Adelaide's harsh weather conditions.
Apart from the visual appearance of the lawn, further consideration should be given regarding the rate of traffic, active children, pets, and the amount of shade to ensure the best Instant lawn installation for the conditions.

Soil preperation
Popular Instant Turf varieties
Soil preperation
* To properly install Instant turf the ground must first be excavated to the correct depth.
The removal of all soil 130-150mm below the height of the path/driveway must be done in order to achieve a 100mm thick layer of top soil as well as the complete removal of any existing grass or weeds.

** If the earth is composed of Adelaide's Clay soil Gypsum is added to improve the drainage
* A well drained top soil base is prepared by adding a 100mm deep layer of Sandy loam, which is then carefully screeded and levelled ensuring a perfectly flat base at the correct height.
* Lawn starter fertilizer is added to the top of the base and thoroughly watered in,
after allowing time for the water to soak through, the levelling and height of the base is checked again before rolling out the instant turf.
* To ensure the best possible start, each row of instant grass is laid on an alternating pattern, loam infill is added to all joins, and a final watering is followed by a light roll to expel any air pockets and ensure a good connection between the turf and the soil is achieved.
Irrigation
* To ensure your new Instant lawn installation is being sufficiently watered without your constant attention, we can install either pop up or underground watering systems prior to laying the turf
