Before you start your site preparation, it is necessary to remove any weeds and old Grass.
This can be done by with either treating the area with round up, Glyphosate or Zero weed spray.
When used according to the directions, theses products will kill existing weeds and grass.
Theses herbicides do not kill seeds in the soil that may germinate later.
Remember to wear suitable protective clothing and take care not to spray near gardens or allow the spray to drift onto them.
Our DYI video will give you step by step instructions showing you how to prepare the area with expert advice.
If you require further information you can download our brochure which has all the information you require on from How to measure your area, soil types, soil preparation and watering.
There is also a yearly calendar guide to help you monitor when to fertilise your lawn.
If the ground is compacted you will need to use a rotary hoe to turn and soften the existing soil. If you do not want to use a rotary hoe you can top dress the area with 50mm turf underlay.
The soil mix that we recommend is a 50/50 sand to soil mix. This will allow the best combination of drainage and water retention to give your lawn the best foundation to grow from.
1m3 will cover an of 40 square metres 25mm thick, for example:
– For a 100m2 area that you need to build up by 25mm you will need 2.5m3 Turf underlay.
– For a 50m2 area that you need to build up by 25mm you will need 1.25m3 Turf underlay.
If you want to add more than 25mm underlay, then see this table below:
| 25mm | You need 2.5m3 Turf Underlay | |
| 50mm | You need 5m3 Turf Underlay | |
| 75mm | You need 7.5m3 Turf Underlay | |
| 100mm | You need 10m3 Turf Underlay | |
