Turf, Gardens & Planting — Canberra & Queanbeyan
Canberra is brutal on gardens that aren't built right — hot, dry summers and hard winter frosts kill the wrong plants and burn out turf laid straight onto clay. We prepare the soil properly and choose hardy turf and plants that suit our climate, so your garden isn't a job you redo every season.

How the job runs
Plan the planting
We match turf and plants to your sun, shade, soil and how much maintenance you want.
Prepare the ground
Old lawn and weeds out, clay broken up and good soil brought in to the right depth.
Lay & plant
Turf laid tight, beds built and edged, plants in and watered.
Handover
Mulch on, site cleaned up, and simple watering advice to get everything established.
Common questions
Which turf is best for Canberra?
It depends on sun, shade and use. Some varieties go dormant and brown in winter, others stay greener through frost but need more water in summer. We'll recommend the right one for your yard.
Why did my last lawn die?
Usually it was laid straight onto compacted clay with little topsoil, so the roots never got established before summer or the first frosts.
What plants survive Canberra frosts and summers?
Plenty — many natives, grasses, succulents and hardy exotics handle both. We choose plants that suit your aspect so they don't need constant replacing.
Can you just do turf, or does it have to be a full landscape?
Turf and garden beds can be booked on their own. We'll still prepare the ground properly — that's what makes it last.
