Turf Preparation Services

Achieving a lush, level lawn starts long before the turf is actually laid. Preparing and levelling an area can be a simple and straightforward process when it’s done right. At Micro Excavations, we specialise in professional turf underlay preparation, removing old grass, weeds, and rocks to create the perfect nutrient-rich foundation for your new lawn to thrive.


To ensure your new turf stays green and level for years to come, keep these two vital factors in mind:

01   Access, Access, Access

Our specialised tight-access machinery can get through doorways, under carports, and down narrow side passages. However, successful excavation depends on accurate measurements.

  • Know the Narrowest Point: We need to know the exact width of the tightest gap the machine has to navigate. Remember, there is no such thing as a "standard gate."
  • Identify Obstacles: Don’t forget to take into account protruding downpipes, garden taps, and meter boxes that might be in the way.
  • Protect Your Assets: Remove anything that doesn't need to be in the area. It’s a great idea to wrap your hot water service or low conduits in some old carpet just in case of any close encounters during the dig.

02   Drainage & Grading

Queensland is renowned for its torrential downpours. Without proper site grading, your expensive new turf can quickly turn into a swamp.



  • Prevent Pooling: We ensure the ground falls away from the house and has a clear path for runoff, rather than pooling in your backyard and forming a bog that never dries out.
  • Healthy Root Systems: Proper drainage prevents waterlogging, which is essential for healthy root growth and preventing turf rot.
  • The Perfect Level: Our operators are experts at precision levelling, ensuring a smooth finish that makes mowing easier and prevents "scalping" from an uneven surface.
