Turf Laying Sunshine Coast

What is involved when it comes to laying turf on the Sunshine Coast?

At Rosemount Turf, we get lots of questions each week in relation to turf installation - anything from the cost of removing existing lawn to whether we spray weeds to what turf do we offer… and anything in between!

To assist with a few of these questions, we have put together a little bit of information for when it comes to turf installation at your home - the below information is general in nature though, and especially focused on the Sunshine Coast region, so please contact us for more information if you would like a specific quote applicable to your circumstances.

Laying turf in your yard

When someone approaches us and asks about laying turf in their Sunshine Coast yard, we ask a few questions such as:

• Is there turf already in this area? 
• If there is turf in this area already, will it require removal?
• Where are you located?
• How large is the area?
• How much shade does your area receive?
• What turf would you like to have installed?
• Is the area difficult to access?

And so many more! This is just the beginning - allowing us to have an understanding of the area and your requirements allow us to provide a comprehensive service to all our customers, which means your yard will be looking its best in no time at all.

How much does laying turf cost on the Sunshine Coast?

Once we have determined what you are in need of in your yard, we can provide a quote. A quote will be specific and unique to you, as it is determined by aspects such as turf type, yard area, whether the removal of turf is needed and the amount of topsoil required. As a rough estimate, these are the kinds of things you will likely see on a turf installation quote:

• Turf Costs: The cost of your chosen turf will be based on the amount of square meters (m²) required.

• Turf Delivery Charges: For Rosemount Turf, delivery within the Sunshine Coast varies depending on your location.

• Turf Laying: The cost of turf laying for a small yard will depend on the size and complexity of the area.

• Topsoil: If your yard requires topsoil, which is typically the case, additional costs will apply.

• Topsoil Delivery Charges: Similar to turf delivery, the cost for topsoil delivery varies depending on your location.

• Weed Spraying: If your site has weeds, weed spraying will be necessary. This service is typically done twice, but the exact number may vary based on specific circumstances.

• Grass Removal: If existing grass needs to be removed before installing new turf, the area must be properly prepared. The cost will depend on the size and condition of the space. We collaborate with Dingo Hire, one of the best in the business, for this step.

• Spoils Removal: Removing dirt, soil, and old turf before laying new grass is another important step. The cost depends on the volume of material that needs to be removed.

• Hand Preparation: Hand preparation involves manual labor to finalize site preparation, including cleaning the edges, leveling the area, moving soil, and clearing debris. This service is charged based on the amount of work required.

• Installation Fee: This covers the cost of laying the turf, and the fee will depend on the size of the yard.

GST: All listed costs in your quote include GST.

We offer free measure and quotes, so you can get an accurate estimate tailored to your specific needs.
