They were terrible about responding to phone calls and getting back to you once we got to the time of wanting it laid. Great with earlier emails when it was a non busy time though. We must have chased them heaps but it was their super busy time. Eventually they confirmed a free contractor and we got ours laid. The blokes did a brilliant job. There's a couple of pics on this thread here. Lawn was laid on the 21st of October. 13 weeks yesterday. viewtopic.php?f=19&t=27687&p=612809&hilit=our+lawn#p612809 Dh's only complaint is there is no cut grass smell when he mows it. If you want to check out 99m2 of it laid pm me and you can come out for a look see. Re: Soil Prep - South West WA - ie SAND 5Jan 07, 2011 6:03 pm Thanks for that! It may be a little while off yet, we are STILL waiting for our fences but I thought it best to arm myself with lots of info so we are all organised when the time comes Just had a quick look at your photos on your thread, your lawn looks lovely! Re: Soil Prep - South West WA - ie SAND 6Jan 07, 2011 6:55 pm just added some new ones. We bought our soil improver/conditioner several months before the lawn went down. Ours sat in a huge hill for a good couple of months before we finally spread it out and the hoed it in. Re: Soil Prep - South West WA - ie SAND 7Jan 07, 2011 10:04 pm Sorry to but in on your thread, but KexKez, can you go out to True blue turf at anytime to have a look or do you have to ring first? They put a booklet in our letterbox and we drove past one day, but it didn't look like they had an office or anything out there, so kept driving. Re: Soil Prep - South West WA - ie SAND 8Jan 07, 2011 10:15 pm I did ring. but they , I think, said come out any time. But I'd ring first. Re: Soil Prep - South West WA - ie SAND 10Jan 08, 2011 1:11 pm I've just sent True Blue an email asking about the cost of the Empire Turf. I've been doing a bit of reading and it does sound quite good Measured up our yard and we'll need approx 250sqm. It's going to be a massive job!

I've been doing a bit of reading and it does sound quite good Measured up our yard and we'll need approx 250sqm. It's going to be a massive job! My friend got prices a couple of weeks ago. They had specials on both EZ and Sapphire apparently. I think they are normally $15m2 but are on special for $10m2. Does that sound like a fair price anyone? Re: Soil Prep - South West WA - ie SAND 13Jan 08, 2011 2:08 pm The actual yard area is closer to 260sqm, but we'll be having garden beds and maybe something other than grass around the clothes line (??), and DH is thinking about a path along the back of the house... will do another measurement before we order the turf, but be good to know approx what it'll set us back $$ wise.

I thought I read in kexkez's thread $6.60sqm with laying? Perhaps I misunderstood?? Re: Soil Prep - South West WA - ie SAND 15Jan 08, 2011 2:49 pm yes good price nope that was without laying lachjor Though it was a bit cheaper in the non standard laying season. 2 4567 I'm putting a new floor in my kitchen, slate flagging on a standard concrete slab.
