Types of Grass for Your Lawn Installation
At Northern Beaches Landscaping Group, every lawn installation is carefully planned and executed to ensure lasting results.
1. Site Assessment & Planning
We begin by assessing your property’s unique conditions—soil type, drainage, sun exposure, wind patterns, and existing vegetation. For Northern Beaches properties, we also factor in coastal conditions and council requirements. This ensures your new lawn is designed around both your landscape and lifestyle, whether for play, entertaining, or everyday living.
2. Soil Preparation & Improvement
Healthy lawns start with healthy soil. Northern Beaches’ sandy soils often need improvement to retain nutrients and moisture. We remove debris, test soil, and enrich it with premium topsoil and organic matter, creating the perfect foundation for strong turf growth.
3. Drainage Solutions
Proper drainage prevents waterlogging and ensures your investment thrives. We design tailored solutions—whether it’s subsurface drainage or grading adjustments—suited to your property and coastal conditions.
4. Turf Selection & Sourcing
Choosing the right turf variety is key to long-term success. We recommend grass types suited to your property’s conditions—sun, shade, salt air, foot traffic, or drought tolerance—and source only fresh, high-quality turf from trusted local suppliers.
5. Professional Installation
Our experienced team lays turf with precision for seamless joins, even levels, and optimal root contact. We water thoroughly during installation to promote strong establishment from day one.
6. Post-Installation Care & Support
We don’t just lay turf and leave—we provide tailored aftercare advice on watering, mowing, and maintenance. Our team remains available during the establishment period to ensure your new lawn grows healthy and strong.

FAQs About Lawn Installation Northern Beaches
Here in the Northern Beaches, I never recommend keeping turf longer than 24 hours before installation, especially during our hot summer months. The coastal heat and humidity can stress turf quickly. I’ve seen turf delivered on a Friday afternoon in Dee Why turn yellow by Monday morning because the homeowner wanted to wait for the weekend to install it themselves.
During cooler months – May through August – you might stretch it to 48 hours if you keep it in shade and lightly misted, but honestly, fresh is always best. That’s why we coordinate delivery and installation on the same day for all our Northern Beaches projects.
For most Northern Beaches properties, I recommend excavating 100-150mm deep. Our sandy soils make this easier than clay areas, but you need that depth to properly prepare the base and add soil improvements.
In areas like Collaroy where we sometimes hit clay layers, we might go deeper – up to 200mm – to break through and improve drainage. For properties closer to the beach like Whale Beach or Bilgola, the pure sand means we can sometimes get away with less excavation but need more soil amendment to create a proper growing medium.
Absolutely, and winter is actually one of my preferred seasons for turf installation here. Our mild Northern Beaches winters – rarely below 10 degrees – mean turf establishes well without the stress of summer heat.
The cooler weather reduces water requirements during establishment, which appeals to environmentally conscious clients in areas like Mona Vale and Newport. Rain is more frequent, reducing irrigation needs. The main consideration is that establishment takes a bit longer – maybe 8-10 weeks instead of 6-8 weeks – but the end result is often better because the turf isn’t stressed during its critical early period.
A properly installed and maintained lawn on the Northern Beaches should last 15-20 years before major renovation is needed. Our coastal climate is actually quite favorable for turf longevity – no extreme cold, good rainfall most years, and the salt air isn’t as damaging as people think.
However, high-traffic areas around pools or where kids play might need attention every 10-12 years. Properties with poor drainage or those that weren’t properly installed initially might need work much sooner.
Light rain is actually beneficial during installation as it helps with initial watering. However, heavy rain creates muddy conditions that damage both the installation area and the turf itself.
On Northern Beaches properties, I’ve learned to watch those afternoon storm patterns, especially during summer. We can work through light drizzle, but if heavy rain is forecast, it’s better to postpone rather than risk compromising the installation quality.
