Lawn Installation Hamilton

Hydroseed, instant lawn or dimple seeding for lifestyle lawns. Multiple seed options to suit different soils and conditions.

  • Grade, topsoil and level
  • Ready lawn or hydroseed
  • Bulk-earthmoving and Lifestyle Lawns

Options & finishes

The choices that shape price and look — we'll talk through what suits your site on the visit.

Hydroseeding

Seed, mulch and fertiliser sprayed on as a slurry — quicker to establish and more affordable than turf over larger areas.

Instant turf

Ready-grown lawn for an immediate, even result where you can't wait weeks for seed to strike.

Dimple seeding

Seed pressed into a contoured surface, suited to lifestyle blocks and paddocks rather than fine lawns.

Grading & topsoil

Levelling and topsoil prep first, so the finished lawn sheds water away from the house instead of pooling.

We were recommended by a friend to contact Tensen for our lawn makeover and Tensen did not disappoint. Drew was fantastic to deal with, great communication and workmanship. We were left impressed with the transformation of our new lawn. Highly recommended.

Lawns questions

What the rates include and where they move.

Yes — we cultivated and dimple seeded an 8,000m² Gordonton lifestyle block in a week. Bigger, open sections are exactly what the tractor implement is built for.

Hydroseed costs less and covers large or awkward areas well, but takes a few weeks to strike and fill in. Turf is instant and ready to walk on sooner, at a higher cost per square metre.

Instant turf can usually be walked on within a couple of weeks. Hydroseed needs longer — typically four to six weeks before the first mow, depending on the season.

We grade and bring in topsoil first so the lawn has something decent to root into, rather than seeding straight onto compacted clay.

No — our lawn work is the install (grading, seed or turf, and establishment). Ongoing mowing and lawn care sit outside the scope unless we've agreed otherwise.

No. The visit and the written quote are free anywhere inside our service radius.

A deposit on booking for material orders, the balance on completion. Progress payments are available on larger jobs.
