Turf Laying Costs and Considerations for Your Project

If you're looking to install turf (also known as grass) in your garden, driveway, or verge, knowing how much to budget for this project is essential. All Aspects Landscapes is here to guide you through the process of choosing the right turf variety, and ensuring proper installation for your property.

How Much Does Turf Cost?

Turf prices in Australia can range anywhere from $7 to $30 per square meter, depending on the type and variety, as well as where you live. All Aspects Landscapes can help you select the best option for your needs, whether it's a budget variety like Kikuyu or the high-end Sir Grange turf.

Here are the general price ranges for popular turf varieties (not including installation):

• Eureka Kikuyu: $7 to $10 per m²

• Nullarbor Couch: $9 to $12 per m²

• Tropical Carpet Grass: $8 to $11 per m²

• Zoysia Grass: $10 to $15 per m²

• Velveteen Grass: $13 to $16 per m²

How Much Turf Do I Need?

When calculating how much turf you need, always account for about 10% more than required to cover for waste and cutting, especially for lawns with curves or irregular shapes. Simply multiply the length and width of your garden to get the area in square meters. All Aspects Landscapes can provide you with an accurate quote and even factor in installation costs.

DIY or Hire Professionals?

While DIY turf installation is possible, All Aspects Landscapes recommends professional installation for the best results. It requires careful surface preparation and the proper technique to ensure your turf grows well. Professionals will also save you time and ensure your turf is laid correctly, which is essential for a long-lasting lawn.

Turf Varieties to Consider

• Eureka Kikuyu ($7–$10 per m²): Great for high-wear areas, drought-resistant, and medium shade tolerance.

• Nullarbor Couch ($9–$12 per m²): Ideal for sunny spots with good drought resistance, but high maintenance.

• Zoysia Grass ($10–$15 per m²): Tolerates up to 50% shade but prefers warm climates. Best for low-traffic lawns.

• Tropical Carpet Grass ($8–$11 per m²): Best for tropical regions with abundant rainfall, but requires frequent watering.

• Sir Walter Buffalo Grass ($12–$16 per m²): A versatile, low-maintenance turf that can grow in both sun and shade.

• Velveteen Grass ($13–$16 per m²): Ideal for formal lawns and high-quality sports fields.

• Sir Grange ($22–$30 per m²): A premium turf used for golf courses, highly drought-resistant and great for shaded areas.

Turf Installation Costs

If you're opting for professional installation, you can expect to pay between $18 and $34 per square meter for turf to be installed. All Aspects Landscapes offers installation services and will ensure the area is prepared, and the turf is laid correctly, with the highest standards of quality.

Synthetic Turf Option

If you’re looking for a low-maintenance option, synthetic turf might be suitable. It’s an investment, but it doesn’t require weeding, watering, or mowing. Prices for synthetic turf range from $50 to $75 per m² for budget options, and $75 to $100 per m² for higher-quality options.
