Professional Installation Process
- Comprehensive Site Preparation:: Successful artificial turf installation begins with thorough site preparation – and this is where a lot of DIY attempts fall apart. Our team removes existing grass and vegetation, addresses drainage requirements, and prepares a stable base that ensures optimal artificial turf performance. This preparation is particularly important for Northern Beaches properties with sandy soils and coastal conditions that can shift and settle if not handled properly.
- Precision Base Construction: Our artificial turf installation includes professional base construction using appropriate materials and compaction techniques. The base layer is absolutely crucial for drainage, stability, and long-term performance – get this wrong and you’ll have water pooling and uneven surfaces within a year. We guarantee proper grading, compaction levels, and edge preparation that supports your artificial turf investment for the long haul.
- Expert Installation Techniques: Our installation team employs proven artificial turf installation methods including precise cutting, professional seaming, and secure anchoring. We pay special attention to edge finishing, joint alignment, and surface tensioning that makes sure you get a smooth, professional appearance and optimal performance. There’s no shortcuts or “she’ll be right” attitude – every detail gets done properly the first time.
- Infill Application and Finishing: Quality artificial turf installation includes appropriate infill application that supports fiber structure and provides realistic feel underfoot. Our installation process includes proper infill distribution, brushing techniques, and final quality checks that guarantee optimal artificial turf performance and appearance. This finishing stage is what separates professional installation from amateur attempts that look patchy and feel wrong.

FAQs About Artificial Turf Installation Northern Beaches
Yeah, absolutely – and this is something a lot of Northern Beaches homeowners don’t expect. Your new artificial turf installation needs about 2-3 weeks to properly settle, especially with our sandy soils and coastal weather conditions. During this time, the fibers stand up properly, the infill distributes evenly, and everything basically finds its natural position. I always tell my clients in areas like Avalon and Newport to avoid heavy use for the first couple of weeks – let the kids know the new lawn needs a bit of a break-in period. The salt air actually helps with the settling process, believe it or not.
Look, I get asked this question almost daily, especially from DIY-minded folks around Manly and Dee Why who want to save some cash. The short answer is no – not if you want it to last more than a season. Our Northern Beaches sandy soil might seem like it’d work, but without proper base preparation, you’ll have drainage issues, uneven surfaces, and the turf will shift around with our coastal winds and rain. Trust me, I’ve seen too many weekend warrior attempts that looked terrible within six months because they skipped the base work.
Actually, yes – and this comes up a lot for Northern Beaches properties with existing concrete patios or pool surrounds that people want to soften up. Artificial turf installation over concrete is totally doable, but it requires special techniques. We use shock-absorbing underlay systems and modified drainage solutions. It’s particularly popular around pool areas in suburbs like Palm Beach and Whale Beach where families want that soft, green look without the maintenance headaches. Just keep in mind it feels a bit firmer underfoot than turf over a traditional base.
Not always, but often yes for Northern Beaches artificial turf installation. I use a graded gravel base (usually 20mm road base) for most installations because it provides excellent drainage – something that’s absolutely critical with our coastal weather patterns. Properties in low-lying areas or places that cop the worst of the easterly storms definitely need proper gravel drainage. It’s about creating a system that handles everything from gentle morning showers to those intense afternoon thunderstorms we get in summer.
You can, but it’s not as straightforward as people think. If you’ve already got gravel down – say from an old driveway or pathway – it needs to be the right type and properly compacted. Most decorative gravels won’t work for artificial turf installation because they’re too loose or the wrong size. For Northern Beaches properties, I usually need to add a layer of road base over existing gravel, then compact it properly. The salt air and coastal conditions mean everything needs to be locked in tight, or you’ll have movement issues.
The correct way starts with proper excavation and base preparation – no shortcuts. For Northern Beaches conditions, that means removing all organic matter, creating proper falls for drainage, laying and compacting road base, adding your grano dust layer, then installing the turf with proper edge restraints. The key difference for coastal installations is paying extra attention to drainage and wind resistance. I always secure edges more thoroughly here because of our coastal winds, and make sure all seams are perfectly aligned because the harsh sun will show up any imperfections quickly.
