New Lawn Installation in Melbourne
New lawn installation in Melbourne doesn't have to mean paying for rolls of turf. We prepare your soil and hydroseed a thick, even lawn in a single visit, for around a tenth of the price of instant turf. You get a fixed quote up front and a written watering plan on spray day.
Everything from bare soil to first mow
One booking covers the whole job, so you're not coordinating three different trades.
- Site check and a fixed, itemised quote
- Weed, rubble and old lawn removal
- Ripping compacted soil, topsoil and levelling where needed
- Hydroseeding with a blend matched to your sun, shade and use
- A written watering plan and advice on your first mow
Why we seed instead of laying turf
Turf is priced per roll, trucked in and laid by hand. Seed is mixed in one tank and sprayed in one pass.
That's why a typical 120m² backyard costs about $790 to hydroseed, against roughly $6,000 for instant turf.
The grass also roots straight into your own soil, with no seams to lift or knit together.
New builds, renovations and tired yards
Most of our installs are new homes on builder's clay. We also replace old lawns that have thinned out, and cover areas where turf struggles, like slopes and awkward shapes.
How long until you can use it
You'll see green in 7–10 days. Light foot traffic is fine at around four weeks, and most lawns get their first mow at six weeks.
If you need a finished lawn this week, turf is the better option, and we'll tell you so.
Questions about new Lawn Installation in Melbourne
Short answers to what people ask us most.
How much does a new lawn cost in Melbourne?
Most hydroseeded lawns cost $5–$8 per m², with a $490 minimum. A 120m² backyard is usually around $790 including a standard seed blend.
Do you remove the old lawn?
Yes. We can spray off weeds, strip an old lawn and prepare the soil as part of the same job. It's itemised in your quote.
Can you install a lawn in winter?
Yes, with a cool-season blend. Germination is a little slower, so spring and autumn are ideal if you can wait.
