About Ready Lawn products

Ready lawn covers bare ground with established turf, avoiding the wait for grass seed to germinate. The New Zealand range includes tall fescue and kikuyu blends supplied as rolls of lawn for laying on prepared soil. Even high-quality lawn products need regular watering after laying to help their roots establish.

A ready lawn is prepared off-site, generally on a farm, and grows to maturity to be harvested and then distributed as “ready” to be placed in your garden. It gives homeowners a pristine lawn which can instantly enhance a space. ArchiPro features the best quality ready-made lawn from professional turf experts in New Zealand with local knowledge that will ensure you have a lush green garden.

Ready lawn for new and existing gardens

Types of ready lawn

Ready lawns come in a range of different grass species and blends in New Zealand, some of the more popular include the following.

Fine fescue/fine rye blend lawn

This blend requires low maintenance and little fertiliser. If you reside in a cool-season humid grass area, then it’s a blend worth considering for your garden.

Kikuyu oversewn with rye lawn

The ready grass roll is rugged, springy coarse, and lighter in colour. It is the perfect turf for limited irrigation areas and rough play areas.

Tall fescue lawn

When considering tall fescues, it is crucial to allow a mature root system to be established before using the service. Taking shortcuts with this blend could hinder the product's performance.

How to choose the ready lawn that’s right for you

Before you choose ready lawn for your next gardening project, you should pay attention to your irrigation and the function of the area, as this will affect your selection. It’s important to choose a type of lawn that’s appropriate for your local conditions and climate. Otherwise, you’ll risk the chance of it degrading soon after it’s been installed. You also need to know the exact measurements of the space you’ll be installing the ready-made lawn so you know exactly how much you’ll need and calculate the price and see what options suit your budget. As with any gardening product, prioritising quality and experience will be key to your likelihood of success.

 

How do you lay a ready lawn?

Once you have established the space where you want to lay it, it's recommended to split the ground into areas. Prepare the ground area by removing unwanted weeds. Next, consider an organic lawn soil mix to cover the area. As soon as instant turf arrives it should be installed.

How thick should a ready lawn be?

Generally, it is around 25mm thick and is recommended to be a little higher than edges and paths. Tall Fescue can be mowed between 40 to 80 mm in height, whereas Fine Fescue/ Fine Rye Blend should be mowed at a height of 20 mm. Ensure you have suitable irrigation for your garden for the best growth.

When can you walk on the ready lawn?

Try to steer clear of excessive movement on the newly installed ready grass roll for at least the initial few weeks. Consider minimum walking after installation for three to four weeks. And considering the weather, it could require more time during cooler months. It is best to discuss it with a professional in New Zealand if you’re unsure.
