Lawn preparation · Auckland
A lawn is only as good as the ground under it. We clear the weeds and the old lawn, grade the levels and bring in topsoil where it’s needed, then hydroseed or lay ready lawn on ground that’s ready for it.

Lawn prep
Ready ground is weed-free, levelled and topped with fresh topsoil, raked to a fine finish. If yours is, we go straight to spraying.
If it’s bare clay, builders’ fill, a tired old lawn or a patch of weeds, it gets prepared first. Tell us what’s there now and send photos.
Old lawn and weeds come out first, so the new grass isn’t competing from day one. We remove the old lawn and take the green waste away.
We grade the ground so it falls away from the house and drains, with no hollows to hold water. Banks and slopes get shaped so the seed and mulch sit on them.
Bare clay sets hard in summer and stays wet in winter, and new builds often leave a section of it. A layer of good topsoil over the clay gives the roots somewhere to go.
Tell us how we get in (a gate width, a side path, a drive) and where the nearest tap is. A tap within hose reach makes spray day straightforward.
The preparation and the hydroseeding are priced as separate lines, so you see exactly what the ground needs and what the seeding costs.

Both. We clear weeds and old lawn, grade the levels and bring in topsoil, then hydroseed. Tell us what’s already done and the quote shows the preparation and the seeding as separate lines.
A tap within hose reach makes the job straightforward. New seed then needs light, regular watering until it’s established, and you get care instructions with the job.
Your suburb, the rough area in square metres, a few photos, the ground as it is now, whether there’s a tap within hose reach, and when you need it done.
Yes. We quote both for the same lawn. Ready lawn gives you an instant surface; hydroseeding grows your lawn from seed in the mix you choose. Ask for both and compare.
