H2flow is Brisbane and South East Queensland’s leading water services carrier and is recognised as an industry leader in the application of water for new turf projects of all sizes. Whether it is a house block in a new housing estate or a new sporting oval, the logic is similar.

You will hear all sorts of experts espouse the virtues of soil composition, fall of land, etc. The primary issue isto get the water on as soon as the turf is laid and maintain adequate levels of water at specific intervals in the establishment phase.

You should look at the establishment phase as a 4 week project. Volumes and applications will vary from season to season and variety of turf. As a guide, allow a minimum of 12 individual waterings, with a high concentration in the early stages.

This is easy. The rule of thumb is at least 10 litres of water per square metre of turf. However, some turf varieties may require additional water volumes. For example, shade tolerant varieties have a thicker soil and thatch layer requiring higher volumes.

Approximately 3 to 4 weeks dependent on the season. A mow at this time to trim any leaf or seed head will increase lateral growth.

One way to have the best turf in the street is to have a regular watering program. A regular deep watering helps maintain your turf’s health from root to tip.
