How it goes
The order the work happens in at Seacliff
The old lawn and 80 to 100 mm of soil are stripped and carted, weed membrane laid, crushed rock spread, screeded and plate-compacted, then turf rolled out with pile direction matched, seams joined and pinned, silica infill brushed in and edges trimmed. The Seacliff sequence is settled at the site visit, because the point where Adelaide's flat coast turns vertical — cliff-top blocks with real elevation decides how the work is staged before anything is delivered.
01
Old lawn: Patchy, dead, thirsty — the lawn that never worked.
02
Strip-out: The old lawn and 80–100 mm of soil are stripped and carted off.
03
Membrane: Weed membrane goes down over the exposed base.
04
Base: Crushed rock is spread, screeded and plate-compacted — the structure under the turf that keeps the surface even.
05
Roll out: Turf is rolled out, oriented so pile direction matches across every roll.
06
Joins: Seams are joined with tape and adhesive, then pinned — invisible when done properly.
07
Infill: Silica sand is brushed into the pile, standing fibres up and ballasting the turf.
08
Edges: Perimeters are trimmed tight to edges and secured.
09
Complete: A perfect lawn — green in February, mowed never.

03
Access or levels discovered after the price was agreed, forcing a variation
04
Work sequenced out of order, so finished surfaces are trafficked by the next trade
05
Drainage left to chance, so the finished work moves or ponds in its first winter
06
A boundary detail agreed verbally with one neighbour and disputed by the other

Do you take on artificial turf work in Seacliff?
Yes. Seacliff 5049 is 13.7 km south-west of the Adelaide CBD, inside the 60 km service area, and the work is quoted after a site visit at the address.
How do you deal with sandy soil in a Seacliff garden?
Sand is put in its place. On the coastal sand at Seacliff the turf is laid over a compacted crushed-rock base with solid edge restraint, because sand on its own shifts and the surface goes uneven. The base is what holds the surface even and keeps the seams tight, and the perimeter is fixed so the sand cannot migrate out from under the edge.
How long does artificial turf last?
Quality Australian-standard turf carries a manufacturer's UV warranty — we give you the specific product's warranty document with your quote. The base, if built properly, outlasts multiple turf cycles — replacement decades later is a re-carpet, not a rebuild.
Is artificial turf OK for dogs?
Yes — it's one of the most common reasons Adelaide households switch. We use permeable backing turf, a free-draining base, and an antimicrobial infill option for pet areas. Solids pick up as on grass; urine rinses through with an occasional hose.
