Signs That Indicate You Need a Lawn Replacement

Sometimes watering, feeding or aerating alone cannot revive a dead or drought-stressed lawn into its former glory. Here are some signs that indicate you need a complete lawn replacement:

1. Patches of Dead Grass

If there are large areas of dead grass in your lawn that cannot be revived with reseeding or deep watering, then it is best to consider replacing it with fresh turf.

2. Widespread Moss Growth

Though moss can add an aesthetic appeal to the garden, if it spreads faster than grass on your yard's surface, then it may be time to get rid of it by removing the old sods and replace them with new turf.

3. Skin-deep Topsoil

Inadequate topsoil typically results from years of erosion due to rain or wind exposure. Without quality soil underneath the grass will struggle every year without much success no matter how well the fertilizer program is worked out.

4. Poor Drainage

Excess water accumulation often leads to fungal issues like mildew growth as well as roots rotting. A lawn with poor drainage may not thrive, and the grass would appear soggy even after simple rain showers.

5. Rampant Weed Proliferation

Weed proliferation can be challenging to eliminate without damaging the turf. While there are several weed-killing products on the market, you might find it easier to get rid of them by replacing your entire lawn with healthy new sod.

The Lawn Replacement Process

Replacing your old lawn involves five straightforward processes:

1. Measuring

Our professionals visit your property to determine any existing slopes, water source for irrigation, and accessibility, then they measure the area that requires replacement using a specialized measuring device.

2. Preparation

Proper soil preparation is necessary before laying the new turf as only a well-prepared subsoil produces an appropriately aesthetic lawn in general. Any weeds should also be eliminated before continuing so that their root structures don't re-establish themselves in fresh clean soil below newly-laid sods.

3. Laying Turf

Our technicians use specialized equipment to lay new, healthy turfs consistently and ensure maximum water contact for rapid establishment.

4. Rolling and Watering Turf

After laying down new turf at even intervals of width and length per move, our professionals roll over those pieces of sods to ensure good turf-ground contact leading to faster rooting process and plant growth.

5. Maintenance

Newly-laid lawns require watering more regularly than established lawns daily until roots entrench themselves securely into the soil for each blade of new grassland or turf been planted.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Can I walk on my newly laid lawn?

Yes! You can walk on your newly laid lawn within a few days after installation except when sustained rainfall has got it excessively wet or muddy whereby delays could cause unwanted footprints & depressions into soft grounds.

• How long will it take for my newly laid lawn to settle?

It may take a few weeks for your new lawn to establish roots firmly into the soil without withstanding winds, droughts, etc. Please ensure you do not mow your lawn during this phase until rooting is well established.

• Can I seed my own lawn?

Yes! If you are considering seeding your lawn by yourself, it is recommended that you get professional advice from Lawn Laying Company - your local Auckland based turf and lawn specialists.
