Are you looking for an easy and cost-effective way to transform your outdoor space? Consider installing ready lawn – a product that is becoming increasingly popular in Auckland, thanks to its numerous benefits.

The Lawn Laying Company, based in Auckland, provides high-quality ready lawn installation services. In this article, we will cover everything you need to know about installing ready lawn in Auckland.

What is Ready Lawn?

Ready lawn is a pre-grown grass that is transplanted on top of soil using industry-specific methods. It comprises of healthy, matured and premium turf grass types like fescue or Kentucky bluegrass. The speed at which the root system establishes itself means that it can become a full-coverage lawn within weeks or even days under optimal conditions.

There are many benefits of using ready lawn over traditional seed sowing options such as hydro seeding as covered later below.

Why Choose Ready Lawn?

Ready lawns offer multiple advantages over conventional seed-sown lawns:

  1. Quick installation – the installation process can be completed within one day depending on the size of your area.

  2. Instant results - You don't have to wait for weeks or months for your grass to grow; it comes fully grown and lush green.

  3. Minimal maintenance- since it’s grown off-site with professional care and delivered directly to your property complete with established roots, it requires minimal watering and upkeep compared to traditional seeded lawns
  4. High-quality – Since ready lawn farms take time adhering to strict quality standards during growth ensures consistent thickness, better weed control and less susceptibility to diseases
  5. Cost-effective – overall cost per m2 includes includes labour cost , ground preparation materials' provisions sourced at bulk prices .

With those points above, what's not to love about instant gratification?

Ready Lawn vs Regular Seeded Grass

While both approaches have their respective pros and cons, here are some benefits of using ready lawn that you should consider:

  1. Faster Results – Ready lawns offer faster results due to their maturation stage.

  2. Superior Quality – When grass is grown and nurtured offsite in managed conditions- alongside other species of turf grass, it creates a high-quality blend.

  3. Reduced Weed Growth - by using matured & thicker sod the fully-developed roots help limit weed penetration while minimising lawn maintenance overall
  4. Minimised soil erosion – Newly seeded lawns require extra care to prevent seed wash out , but with ready lawns its already set from the root level of the pre-grown sod.

Hydroseeding vs. Ready Lawn

Another common method to grow a full lawn is hydroseeding, which involves soil prep followed by spreading a slurry mix of seed, hydroseeding mulch, fertiliser and water through an application nozzle onto your property. While both methods yield great results, hydro seeding takes longer to establish and requires more water consumption as well as ongoing upkeep. Unlike hydro-seeded grasses that can be prone to dry-spots, our team ensures correct spacing within after adequately preparing the ground.
