Researchers have found that positive environmental impacts of lawns — such as oxygen production, carbon sequestration, water run-off reduction and soil erosion mitigation — are outweighed by a series of negative ones. These include the large volumes of water needed to maintain lawns, pesticide use and pollution from fume-emitting mowers. Lawns also take up space, which could otherwise be used for vegetation that provides different types of habitat for native wildlife.
Good alternatives to lawns include drought-resistant native plants, strategically placed shrubs and low-growing species, and materials such as mulch and stones.
Critics of traditional lawns say that more variety would also be an aesthetic plus. Lawns make up almost half of the urban green areas globally, and this creates a homogenised look. Finding substitutes in Australia is considered more complicated than in the Northern Hemisphere because of our unique climate and vegetation.
The Melbourne-based Woody Meadow Project is regarded as a successful case study for finding alternatives. The project, which is a collaboration between the City of Melbourne, the University of Melbourne, and the University of Sheffield, in the UK, began in and has seen a series of native shrub gardens — woody meadows — planted across the city.
The researchers involved have filled the plots, which include a sq. While not all 21 species planted have performed as well as expected, the project has been successful and is likely to be expanded to different climates and ecosystems in Australia and overseas.
But could anything ever be as popular as lawn, which dates back to medieval times? A somewhat radical alternative is xeriscaping, a style of landscaping that promotes water efficiency. To become popular, however, xeriscaping needs to overcome a perception that it represents little more than unappealing collections of cactuses and stones. Moreover, lawn connoisseurs, including Matt and Jerry, contend that well-maintained lawns use little water.
Both men invest a great deal of effort in educating the public on water-use efficiency. Take a look at all of our varieties here or give us a call and our lawn consultants can recommend the best variety for your area — 08 We run our own specialised delivery service in and around Adelaide.

For best results, we recommend to lay your lawn on the day you receive it. Tightly knit edges together. Avoid gaps and overlapping. Stagger the joins in a brick-like fashion.
Cutting rolls is inevitable, ensure you use a sharp implement to cut. Try not to leave narrow strips at outer edges, as they can dry out. Lightly topdressing between the joins will improve water retention, fill any low points and gaps, and encourage good soil contact. We recommend a fine sand. Give your lawn an initial long water immediately after laying and then keep it constantly damp with lots of small waters until the roots have taken.
Now your lawn is in, all you have to do is keep it alive! At minimum, there are only 3 things you have to do to keep your lawn looking great — Water, Fertilise and Mow. Check out our aftercare lawn care advice here. Step 4. Turf Installation. Install your lawn immediately upon arrival in Whyalla. Begin watering lawn within 30 minutes of installation.
Turf is a living plant that requires ground contact and moisture to survive! Water the soil before laying lawn and keep laid lawn and soil moist as you continue laying the remainder of the lawn. Begin installing turf along the longest straight line, such as a driveway or walkway. Butt and push edges and ends against each other tightly, without stretching. Avoid gaps or overlaps. Stagger the joints in each row in a brick-like fashion, using a sharp knife to trim corners, etc.
Avoid leaving small strips at outer edges as they will not retain moisture. On slopes lay the turf across the slope. On completion of laying, give the lawn a light roll with an empty roller to remove any air pockets and bind lawn to soil. Step 5. HINT: During the first three weeks, avoid heavy or concentrated use of your new lawn. This gives the roots an opportunity to firmly knit with the soil, and insures that the lawn will remain smooth.
