Real Turf Installation
Here at Bluestone Landscapes, we supply and install the highest quality lawn with a range of lawn varieties to suit your need. During the site visit we assess your soil condition and ask about your level of commitment to maintenance before suggesting a type of lawn. Our aim is to give your new lawn the best possible start by conditioning the soil and adding new top soil before installation. Proper soil assessment, conditioning and top soil addition are crucial steps before the new lawn installation and cannot be ignored.
Factors to Consider Before Choosing a Lawn Type
As experts in this field, we know the correct process of new lawn installation and the requirements for different types of lawn. Hence, we must consider a number of factors and also know about your level of commitment before recommending a type of lawn.
When it comes to new lawn installation a number of factors must be considered and addressed. The number one factor to be considered and addressed is the ground and soil where the grass will be installed. It’s vital to soften the ground properly, add plenty of gypsum, if it’s clay soil and add quality top soil before installing the real turf.
The second most important factor to consider before your lawn installation is to know the level of commitment and maintenance you can give to your new lawn. Once you know the answers to the above questions, then we can help you select the right type of lawn that will suit the condition of the soil and your lifestyle.
Lawn options: When it comes to lawn options, there are various types of lawn. There are lawns that stays green all year round but requires frequent watering and care. Then there are lawns that goes dormant during the winter season but requires less maintenance and watering throughout the year. Ultimately, we can make recommendations but it’s your choice and your lifestyle that will determine the lawn option.

Irrigation Services Canberra
​
Thank you for visiting Bluestone Landscapes Canberra. Our highly qualified and experienced team of landscapers specialises in a wide range of landscaping services, including turf installation, irrigation, paving, retaining wall construction, decking, and more.
Irrigation system installation is an important skill that requires an expert to analyse your needs and help you choose the right system for your project. Not all systems are the same and will not work the same. Hence, it’s important for an expert to assess the water pressure in your house and figure out the right system that is required, and expertly install it, to last.
Installing the correct irrigation system is the key to creating a low-maintenance landscape and allowing yourself the time to relax and take care of other important things in life, while your plants and vegetables grow.
Irrigation System
​
It is basically an underground piping system through which water is fed into the designated spots or areas. The system automatically feeds water throughout the network of pipes to nourish the plants and lawn. An automated irrigation system is the perfect way to evenly and efficiently distribute water and nutrition to your plants and garden.
​
Why is Hand Watering No Longer an Efficient Option Anymore?
​
Hand watering can be sufficient but not efficient, because it’s impossible to distribute the water evenly to the required areas. Hand watering often uses more water than what is required which can cause increased watering bills, patchy grass, and sudden death of plants. On top of that, hand watering is time-consuming and you will most likely miss watering your plants or gardens on time, due to other commitments or simply forgetting the exact timing.
Advantages of an Irrigation System
​
An Irrigation system has numerous benefits that will make your life easy and help your garden, plants, trees thrive in every season and in all conditions.
Hassle-free: An automated irrigation system requires the least amount of time and effort. All it requires is the correct system and the right settings.
Set Schedule: the automated system operates based on the schedule set in the system. It can be set for as long as required and as often as required to do its job properly.
Efficiency: The automated irrigation system is a one-off purchase. It is a much cheaper option compared to how much material and time is required to do hand watering. It not only saves your water bill but also saves your time.
Reliability: with the automated system, your plants and vegetables won’t miss their turn to get water. The system will supply them with the right amount of water on time, every time.
Consistency: the other advantage of an automated system to get an even and consistent distribution of water. Having the right irrigation system in place means that your plants and vegetables will get an even distribution of water compared to hand watering.
Does an Irrigation system work with any Garden type?
Most garden areas will be suitable to incorporate an irrigation system. Installing irrigation system involves minimal digging and we can make sure your grass and garden look the same after the system is installed. We always recommend installing an irrigation system into a newly built garden area prior to the lawn installation and planting flowers or plants. During site visits, we can easily assess your landscape to see if a reticulation system is right for you.
Frequency of Watering
​
The frequency of watering depends on a-number-of factors. First, you need to consider the size of the area and the requirements of your plants, flowers and lawn to be able to work out the frequency of watering. Then you can know your watering days and set the system to suit those days. Upon completion of installation, we will teach you how to manage your new irrigation system and change settings as required.
The Process of Acquiring a Quote and Getting the Work Done

The process is really simple. Contacting our team can start the ball rolling for getting a new irrigation system.

Hence, order an irrigation system that will do its job properly.
