Give the garden a fresh, living lawn.

Natural turf can quickly change the feel of a property when the existing surface, soil, levels and establishment plan are handled properly.

What this service is

Natural turf & new lawns

A new natural lawn starts by removing or reducing the failed surface, preparing the soil, correcting practical levels and creating clean edges. EKO then lays suitable fresh turf and explains the watering and early-care routine required while the roots establish. Turf variety and preparation are discussed around sunlight, use, appearance and the conditions of the property.

Typical scope
  • Existing lawn removal or surface preparation as quoted
  • Soil improvement, levelling and clean turf edges
  • Fresh turf laying and establishment guidance
Benefits

A fresh living surface with better presentation, usability and a clear plan for establishment.

Every quote is adjusted to the property, but these are the practical outcomes this service is designed to provide.

  • A fresh natural surface that can transform the whole property quickly
  • A cooler living lawn with the feel and appearance of real grass
  • Preparation and establishment guidance that give the turf a stronger start
Expert guidance

Understand the options before you choose.

There is no single best natural turf for every Melbourne property. Direct sunlight, shade, foot traffic, desired appearance, mowing frequency and watering capacity should determine the variety and preparation plan.

01
Best for · Family lawns and part-shade

Buffalo

Buffalo varieties are commonly chosen for a broader leaf, comfortable feel and useful shade tolerance. They generally repair more slowly than vigorous couch or kikuyu lawns.

02
Best for · Sunny, fine-textured lawns

Couch

Couch can create a dense, refined finish and repair wear quickly in strong sun, but usually needs regular mowing and performs poorly where light is limited.

03
Best for · Full sun and heavier wear

Kikuyu

Kikuyu grows vigorously, recovers quickly and can be economical, though that same growth means more frequent mowing and edge control.

04
Best for · A refined, slower-growing lawn

Zoysia

Zoysia options can offer dense presentation with less frequent mowing once established, but establishment and repair are generally slower and products can cost more.

Common questions

Useful answers before you enquire.

These are general guides. The site, product and agreed scope determine the final recommendation.

Which natural turf is best for shade?

Buffalo is often considered before couch or kikuyu where direct sunlight is limited, but the actual hours and pattern of light need to be assessed. Very deep shade may not support a healthy lawn at all.

How soon can a new lawn be used?

Light use should wait until the roots begin anchoring into the prepared soil. Establishment time changes with the turf, season and site, so EKO provides care guidance for the specific installation.

Why is soil preparation important?

Turf laid over compacted, uneven or poor soil can struggle even when the product is high quality. Preparation supports rooting, drainage, levels and a more consistent finish.

Will EKO explain watering and first mowing?

Yes. The handover includes an establishment plan covering early watering, when to reduce it and when the lawn is ready for its first cut.
