A new lawn starts with the right prep. A1 lays natural turf and installs synthetic and artificial grass across Sydney, from the ground work to the finished lawn, with a fixed on-site quote.
Turf laying and lawn installation in Sydney
A good lawn is mostly about what you do before the turf goes down. Level the ground, get the soil right and the lawn takes quickly and stays even. Skip that and you get bumps, bare patches and weeds.
A1 handles turf laying across Sydney from start to finish: we clear the old lawn, prep the ground, and supply and lay fresh turf, or install synthetic and artificial grass if you would rather skip the mowing. As experienced Sydney turf installers, we get the prep right so the lawn takes evenly and lasts.
Turf and lawn options
We help you pick the right lawn for your yard and how you use it.
What our turf service covers
From bare ground to a lawn you can enjoy.
How turf laying works

Natural turf or synthetic grass?
Natural turf is soft, cool underfoot and great value, but it needs mowing and water. Synthetic and artificial grass costs more up front but stays green all year with almost no upkeep, which suits shady spots, play areas and busy households. We will talk you through both and lay whichever you choose.
Related services
These often go hand in hand with the job. We can bring them into the one plan and quote.
Serving gardens across Sydney
We lay turf and install synthetic grass for homes and businesses across Sydney, including the inner west, eastern suburbs, north, south, greater west and The Hills. Check the suburbs we cover or ask when you get in touch.

It completely transformed my front garden.Throughout the process, Terry was highly responsive and communicated everything clearly.I would strongly recommend A1 for all gardening needs, and in fact, I already have another job lined up with them.

I had to completely refurbish my apartment veranda. A lot of work repotting 15 huge troughs and pots and I was quite particular about the soil I wanted. Terry arrived with 4 men and the did the job perfectly and so quickly. I was amazed and thrilled with the results. He is coming back in February to hedge and finish a few minor things. He leads his team and he even mopped up myPlace as I am in a wheelchair. He knows what he is doing! Will use his service again for sure. Thanks Terry. Nicole

I love spending time outside relaxing and gardening, so thank you Terry and your team!

This is five star gardening for sure! I was desperate for a good gardener as my garden had several bush stumps to remove! No one wanted the job, it was too hard others said. I phoned Terry and he very quickly organised a gardener, Robert, to come out two days after I called. Robert was fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble. He picked up the plants and soil from the nursery. He did an excellent job within a few hours, the bush stumps were completely removed, he worked like a trojan! We could not believe it! He turned our garden into a paradise. Thank you, Terry and Robert. Ellen from Caringbah South

I’m a neighbour of a property in Kirribilli, I overlook the next door rear garden.The above company spent the last 2 mornings professionally cutting through untidy undergrowth, overgrown out of control banana trees(overhanging our units & blocking light), generally tidying up & laying grass.The whole area looks amazing, adds value to my front verandah & entrance & the smiling countenance from all the 4-5 workers when I was “sticky beaking” was so professional.

Turf laying questions we hear a lot
It depends on the area, the turf you choose and how much ground prep is needed. We give you a fixed price after a free on-site visit.
Buffalo is a popular all-rounder for its hardiness and shade tolerance, while kikuyu suits sunny, high-traffic yards. We will recommend the right turf for your conditions.
Natural turf is soft and cheaper to install but needs mowing and water. Artificial grass costs more up front but needs almost no upkeep. We lay both.
Keep off fresh natural turf for a couple of weeks while it roots. Synthetic grass can be used straight away.
Yes. We clear the old lawn or surface and prepare the ground before laying, which is what makes the new lawn last.
