How to lay Nullarbor Couch?
Installing your new turf can be easy!
- Prior to laying turf check that the soil surface is not too hot. Lightly wet the soil down if it is hot.
- Install your lawn immediately upon delivery. Turf is degrading on the pallet, and it is recommended that all turf should be laid within 4 hours of delivery in summer/spring & 12 hours in winter/autumn, failing to do so can lead to pallet burn.
- Begin installing turf along the longest straight line, such as a driveway or footpath
- Butt and push ends against each other tightly, without stretching.
- Stagger the joints in each row in a brick-like fashion, using a large sharp knife to trim corners.
- On slopes, place the turf pieces across the slope.
- After installing the turf, roll the entire area, this will improve the contact between the turf and soil and help with levelling.
- Begin watering lawn within 30 minutes (in Spring/Summer) and 60 minutes (in Winter/Autumn) of installation. Turf is a living plant that requires ground contact and moisture.
- During the first two weeks, avoid heavy or concentrated use of your new lawn, this gives the roots an opportunity to firmly knit with the soil, and ensures that the turf will remain smooth.

How is Nullarbor Couch delivered?
Your turf will be loaded onto a pallet, and most of our trucks have forklifts on board that will unload the turf and place it as close as safely possible to your prepared area. If you are not home to receive your turf but would like it placed somewhere specific, please leave out some kind of marker (such as a paint mark on the ground, sign or cone) or call our friendly office staff so they can give instructions to our driver. If no instructions are left, the driver will most likely place the turf onto your driver or wherever he/she feels most appropriate.
We use a unique pallet-less-lift-off system, which means the pallet stays on the truck instead of being left on site. We deliver to Gold Coast, Brisbane, Ipswich and everywhere in-between.
