We are looking for turfing in some section outside the house with good lawn maintenance service. My colleague suggested me landscaping lane cove ( http://www.gardeningnorthside.com.au/landscaping-north-shore ). They provide services like tree removal, lawn mowing, garden maintenance, Hedge trimming, lawn renovation, pebble work, stone path, Mulching and many more. Should I go for it?
I would check with the Better Business Bureau for references with the company.
Debating about use of Soilbuilder or mushroom compost to mix in with existing soil. Want to seed again after I tilled and removed an old lawn. But worried about two things: Salinity content of the mushroom compost mentioned here and the nitrogen content of either option. I plan on using centipede grass seed to start my lawn and understand its sensitive to high nitrogen fertilizers?
I would start with a soil test. This will help you determine the best amendments if any needed to get your soil ready for the new grass.
