How Wellington Lawn Specialists prepare your site
Preparation is everything when it comes to a great lawn. Here’s how we do it:
- Existing Lawns — We kill off the old grass, scrape it back, reintroduce fresh topsoil, and lay the new lawn for an instant upgrade.
- New Builds or Empty Lots — If the site’s already prepped, we can get straight to laying your turf. If not, we’ll handle all the prep work for you.
We treat every property individually, assessing erosion risks, soil quality, and choosing the right turf for your site. We coordinate with our trusted supplier to deliver fresh turf, typically requiring a lead time of 3–4 working days.​
How ready lawn is installed
Once your site is prepared, laying your ready lawn is a swift and efficient process:​
Installation: Our experienced team lays the turf in a staggered, brick-like pattern to ensure tight seams and a seamless appearance. Edges are carefully trimmed to fit around paths, flower beds, and other features. We then use a lawn roller to press the turf into the soil, eliminating air pockets and promoting root contact. ​
Watering: Immediately after installation, the lawn is thoroughly watered to help the turf settle and begin rooting.​
The entire installation process typically takes between half a day to two days, depending on the size and complexity of the area. ​
Aftercare tips for your new instant grass lawn
To keep your new turf thriving, we will provide you with detailed instructions. If you have any questions, please give us a call. This is a summary of the aftercare needed:
- Watering — We will provide a detailed watering plan that will factor in the time of year to give you the best results.
- No Walking — Avoid stepping on your new lawn for about three weeks to let it settle.
- Mowing — Start mowing after 3–4 weeks once it’s established. Keep blades sharp and mow to the recommended height.
- Fertilising — Feed your lawn every 12–16 weeks during the growing season for maximum lushness.
- Weed Control — Some weeds are inevitable! Keep an eye out, pull them early, and maintain a regular care routine. (Or, let us take care of it for you with a maintenance plan.)

Yes, ready lawn is ideal for high-traffic areas. Once established, it provides a durable and resilient surface that can withstand regular use, making it perfect for families, pets, and outdoor activities. We're happy to advise on which type of grass is the best for your location and needs.
Ready lawn can be installed at any time of the year, provided the ground isn't frozen. However, spring and autumn are optimal seasons due to moderate temperatures and consistent rainfall, which aid in quicker root establishment.
While it's best to allow the lawn to establish roots over a few weeks, ready lawn provides immediate visual appeal. Light use can typically resume after three weeks, with full use recommended after the lawn has fully rooted.
