HOW TO LAY A NEW TURF LAWN TIFTUF HYBRID BERMUDA GRASS (COUCH) 

Too kind ☺️

2nd to that mate

I wont lie I don't like beer all that much (whiskey 🥃 for me) but after that turf went down the beers where so so cold there was ice on the outside of the bottles I actually enjoyed it. and the bbq was awesome even Pavlova for dessert gotta keep the troops happy

@@theaussielawn I'm a kiwi so dont mention our dessert pavlova as that might start a fight over who had it first (clearly it was NZ)🤣🤣 enjoy them whiskeys I hope its Jameson's not Jack..👍👍

@@calebevans8437 shhh 🤫 its ours na Johnny 😎

Thanks Jake 😎

Cheers Paul Im working on a follow up vid atm

Cheers mate

Cheers Dan yeah cant wait till its nice and short

Ohh that is so so true mate, Its a relief I tell ya

Cheers mate appreciate it. Hope things are going well over in Dungog 😎

Geez no pressure hahahaha. Na cheers mate I cant wait to play with it and see what it can do

haha I still dont believe its laid. I keep walking out the front to see if its real or a dream haha

Very long time mate, Boy I hope so esp when its nice and short like the other side

Thanks Brother, always glad to have you along for the ride

Cheers James, hahaha I cant believe that its actually laid and the 12month curse has lifted haha

It will get no shade in my front yard its as west as west can be haha Its a swift grower hey, I cant wait to see what it looks like short along side the santa

The turf was really good quality your right it did mate it easy to lay, They where a little damp from some rain few days before which also made them heavier than usual but all good its down now and Im stoked. Thanks for tuning in mate 🤟

Hey mate yeah i cant wait for it to start getting short. Bread knife is a good trick too I like the sound of that. Re straw hats I reckon Ill do "Aussie Lawn" patches to transfer onto a straw hat of your choice as I reckon too many hats would get damaged in the post.

Thanks mate I really appreciate you stopping by and for leaving a comment, Have a great weekend 😎

@@theaussielawn absolutely! You too

The curse has lifted hahahah I still dont belive it hey

@@theaussielawn I just finished some landscaping at my place including an outdoor shower. Really happy with it. It feels good to get projects finished hey?

Too many times to count 😩 Thanks mate cant wait to see it nice level and short

Thanks mate I'm just stoked its finally laid

Thanks Jason 😎

Cheers mate Im keen to have a play with it and see what I can do with it

@@theaussielawn that's an easy 2 hr mow with the reel 😂 I'm the bloke asking about the tribute btw 👍🏻

@@CRUMB. Ohh hey mate haha Im hoping to speed that up a little 😜

@@theaussielawn looking forward to it , good stuff

Its been cool hey, I bet the rain don't fall over my place now the turf is down LOL

You know its gunna happen mate 😜

@@theaussielawn Yep, sure do! You better order 15 ton of top dress sand first thing Monday morning 👍

Na mate this area was always gunna be turfed, the green will be different though I'll plug it when the time comes

Its very much like that mate 9 months of waiting. haha yeah it needs a trim, they are quiet people who just keep to themselves.

Cheers for the tip Mike 😎

Hey mate, didn't realise you had a channel I subbed this morning 🤟

@@theaussielawn yeah mate we’ve only been going for a month now - so far so good!

Follow the up coming tips mate and you'll have a nice short lawn

Hahaha the what now??? whats this kikuyu you speak of? hahaha 😜😜😜

Thanks mate 😎

I cant belive I have grass there now 😂😂😂😂 Rest assured Wazza now the grass is down it will never rain again LOL

Funny you mention the atom I tried one for the first time the other day they are really impressive

Hi Chris yeah mate there are a few leading up to this vid

Early days yet but its very flexible and I enjoy the phone functionality but its a thumbs up from me

Depending on where you are located mate Id suggest late feb

@@theaussielawn NSW Central Coast - not too far from you

@@hamo4558 Id go later feb mate plenty of stable temps on the coast still 😎

I sort of have mate theres a few episodes leading up to this one spread out over the past 8 months

@@theaussielawn and you thought how to the theodolite?

@@samuelasamoah6906 Im not sure what you mean "theodolite"

@@theaussielawn the equipment used by the surveyors for finding elevation and level

Oh that doesn't sound good mate, whats happened to it

@@theaussielawn - just the heat has destroyed it, being couch it will bounce back, but it is deflating when you put hard work in to something and see it go down hill. Never mind 😂

Hi Richard yeah lots of time yet to top dress etc. Given the warm soil temps Id even top dress in late march if i needed too. I still cant believe its finally in.

Im not all the knowledgeable on Zoysia types I have my little bit of experimental Zoysia but its not available to the public as of yet. Im hoping to get hold of some grange at some stage then ill be in a better position to comment on it. But being in SEQ your in an ideal spot for Zoysia

Hi Dean I used a course river sand for this job I would have used a more loamy sand but after the floods last year there wasn't too much to choose from

Hi mate yeah there was a few vids leading up to this one I'll link some if you like

Great spotting mate, The only reason it was laid like that was due to the width of the rolls vs the width of the area. It would have meant there would have been a very narrow cut along the entire length and it would have been more inclined to dry out

@@theaussielawn copy that cheers mate look forward to future updates

Hi James I have not had any exposure to Sir Grange unfortunately. I might get some at a later date to play around with

Hi Casey, This was laid on a course riversand. It wasn't my first choice as I much prefer to use 70/30 but due to recent floods at the time I was unable to get it from the quarry. When you say 60/40 is that something you purchased? Generally sand quarries dont have anything much heavier than 70/30. As im assuming it would be a struggle to get it through the screening plant. What part of Aus are you in mate ? Cheers Brenton

@@theaussielawn Sorry, I'm actually in South-East Texas. I'm just a Bermuda enthusiast that loves your videos. Light 60/40 is the common thing most suppliers have around here but it can have a few clumps of clay that would need rolling. I can get just about any mix though. I just bought a new constructed house and the lot is bare sand/clay - the builder said it was a mix of 60/40 & 70/30

@@caseytoohey4777 ahh cool no problem, I think to have at least 2-3" of a lighter sandy profile will be beneficial it also makes it easies to work and spread prior to your turf being laid. Good luck and I hope your T31 performs beautifully for you.

Bout 2cm mate

@@theaussielawn thanks mate! Keep up great vids!

Hi mate, haha this stuff was cut a little thicker than I'm use too also they where heavy rolls. You wouldn't believe it they still talk to me

Do you mean the sub base or the growing medium?

Um, how about both?

@@rudycramer225 the sub base is clay, the sand profile is course river sand. As mentioned in the videos leasing up to this one. I had no other options at the time due to the recent flooding at the time

Thanks.

1 millllllion dollars 😜

Hi mate depending on your local Lawn Solutions grower it ranges from $13-$16 p/sqm

hahaha hopefully it looks a million dollars when its all matured 😜

hahaha well done mate, First one I've replied to for this vid 😜

@@theaussielawn really interested to see how the tif tuff looks when fully established, because that santa ana on your front lawn is the best lawn on RU-vid 👍

Shhh 🤫 I'm working on it 😜

What is wrong mate?

There is a lot to unpack here in this message mate, As for watering that would depend on your local area or council etc what part of AUS are you in?. Yeah Tiftuf is an improved variety of couch grass. As for the sweeping comments about not being able to be removed or destroying lawns for all of eternity potentially I feel that view is a little alarmist. But I definitely appreciate your comments and input 😎

@theaussielawn Thanks for replying 🙏 I've had multiple truckloads of sawdust and soil to try to kill mine, I've had it all ripped out, ive put cardboard and sawdust over it. I've had new soil and lawn laid over it 3 times now, the last 2 times it was sir Walter, and the couch keeps coming through and taking over. I don't know how to stop it. Every time I've had to hand water because of our council regulations and don't have time to do that. I guess it's only a problem if someone complains. All my neighbours complain about everything though so I was just wondering if it's the same with new lawns and sprinklers. I never knew couch was such a hardy lawn that will withstand anything and everything thrown at it. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not!
