Converting a Kikuyu lawn to Tall Fescue is no small task, especially with all those underground rhizomes hiding below the surface. 🫣Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how we’re tackling a full Kikuyu-to-Tall-Fescue conversion, complete with a brand new irrigation system. 👇Step 1: Excavate the lawn area to around 250mm to remove as many Kikuyu rhizomes as possible. We ended up removing 27 cubic metres of soil. 😮Step 2: Install a new irrigation system for even, consistent coverage. 💧Step 3: Backfill with high quality sandy loam topsoil. 🙌Step 4: Incorporate soil amendments like compost and zeolite to improve the soil. 💪Step 5: Sow with Tall Fescue seed. 🌱Step 6: Protect the new seed with grow cloth and set up daily watering on the new system. 💦After six days, the seed had germinated so we removed the grow cloth and slowly started backing the water off. 🤩If you’re planning a grass-type conversion for your lawn and want expert support, we’re here to help. 🤝#LawnFawnatics #LawnCareNut #TurfManager #Turf #TurfManagement #TurfGrassManagement #TurfMaintenance #TurfInstallation #Lawn #LawnCare #LawnStripes #Lawnfluencer #LawnGoals #LawnPorn #LawnsofInstagram #LawnCareLife #Canberra #CanberraBusiness #CanberraLocal #CanberraLocals #ThisCanberranLife #CanberraLife #CanberraSmallBusiness #CanberraHomes #CanberraGarden #lawnfanatics #auslf #Kikuyu #TallFescue

Tom did a great job rejuvenating our lawn. He analysed the soil, top dressed, fertilised and treated the weeds. Our lawn is now looking so much better.
