Options & finishes
The choices that shape price and look — we'll talk through what suits your site on the visit.
Seed, mulch and fertiliser sprayed on as a slurry — quicker to establish and more affordable than turf over larger areas.
Ready-grown lawn for an immediate, even result where you can't wait weeks for seed to strike.
Seed pressed into a contoured surface, suited to lifestyle blocks and paddocks rather than fine lawns.
Levelling and topsoil prep first, so the finished lawn sheds water away from the house instead of pooling.
What's it likely to cost?

Includes grading and topsoil prep. Hydroseeding suits any size. Dimple seeding only works from 1,500m² up (lifestyle blocks) - too coarse for a normal backyard.
