Lawn & Artificial Turf Installation In Perth by MVP Landscapes
So, you are wanting to have a lawn or turf installed in Perth. There are many varieties to choose from that will suit your home, but more importantly, you need to know what lawn species is going to suit the area you are wanting to install it in.
​
Things like is it drought-tolerant, does the lawn need full sun or will it work in part shade areas, is the lawn low allergies for kids and pets, is the lawn invasive to garden beds, does the lawn require low or high maintenance, or does the lawn wear easily preventing you using in certain areas.
All these factors will determine what lawn variety best suits the desired area so you have the best looking lawn in the street.
​
For the correct advice on installing lawn to your new home, or even an existing home where we are replacing your old tired lawn with a new species that better suits, contact the guys at MVP Landscapes for your free consultation.
Soil Preparation
MVP Landscapes have been supplying and installing a variety of lawn species throughout Perth, Western Australia. From our hands-on experience, we completely understand that a thriving, lush green lawn is only ever achieved by good soil preparation works prior to the new lawn being installed. Miss this stage, and you will never have the beautiful lawn you have desired.
Soil preparation is the most important stage of your future lush green lawn. When your new lawn has been cut from the turf farm and delivered to your home, there is only a small amount of soil attached to the roll of lawn. Roots are often exposed and if not laid onto an enriched sub-base, they will dry and perish causing your new lawn to die.
​
At MVP Landscapes we only ever install a new lawn onto a high-quality soil sub-base that has been designed for lawn application. This brings nutrients directly to the new lawns root system when laid rather than relying on Perths very poor sandy soil content to bring life into your new lawn.
Lawn Installation Perth - a perfect place to play
A great looking lawn doesn't just happen. It takes time, water, fertilizing, maintenance, and the correct lawn installation to be done in the very beginning.
​
Installing lawn in Perth doesn't come without its challenges. Typically, the soil conditions are very poor and sandy to which most lawns will not do well no matter how much water and fertilizer you feed it. This is why MVP Landscapes only ever use a high-quality landscape lawn mix prior to any lawn installation. This brings the correct nutrients to the new lawn when Perths sandy soil can not do.
​
As Perth's summers are dry, hot, and longer than most other Australian cities, a quality automatic watering system is essential and highly recommended if your wanting a quality lawn in the years to come. MVP Landscapes can certainly help you with supplying and installing the latest water-wise reticulation systems.
​
When installing your new lawn, the MVP team prepare the ground as if we are placing pavers. This will give your home the level, even finished lawn. Once the lawn installation process has been completed, we roll or compact the lawn down to remove any high spots that may have occurred due to the lawn being cut uneven from the turf farms.
​
Now, its time for you and your family to sit back and enjoy the amazing feeling of your new green lawn installed by MVP Landscapes.
We Remove Your Old Lawn and Replace It With A New Lush Green Lawn
If you are wanting to replace your tired, dying lawn with a lush green new lawn, MVP Landscapes can do it all for you. We can remove and expose of your old lawn via bobcat, lawn cutting machine or by hand in difficult to reach areas. It is recommended that you remove the old lawn to a depth of 80-100mm to ensure the old root system has also been removed completely.
This is critical when you are replacing an old couch (Winter Green) lawn with a Soft Leaf Buffalo lawn (Sir Walter, Palmetto, Bison) as the couch lawn is more invasive and will eventually take over the new Soft Leaf Buffalo.
