Outstanding video Brenton, it's come up great. Looking forward to seeing what you achieve with Sir Grange, I'm sure you will have it looking as good as the TifTuf out the front of your place. Top notch quality from the team at Green Life Turf as well 👌
Mate I gotta say that has to be some of the best quality rolls of turf I've ever seen come off a pallet. Whoever farmed that should be super proud. As far I am aware we have no Zoysia over here yet but I do hope it makes it's way I would love to have a play around with it. Another great video BK good on ya mate!
Perfect title! Haven’t even watched it yet, but super pumped because I can sit here on a Saturday morning while eating breakfast enjoying a good lawn vid (which was a tradition of mine 2 years ago). Appreciate your work Brenton. Now I can just copy & paste from your vids 😂
Brilliant series mate and couldnt have come at a better time for me as i try and get a house yard area established. Really appreciate the work youre doing on the youtube space for the rest of us rookies
Great stuff mate, just helped my neighbour lay 150sqm of sir grange few weeks ago, first time I had seen it up close and couldn’t believe the colour and how fine the leaf blades are, amazing stuff. I have tif tuff and very similar density between the two
@ 💯 keen to see how my neighbour goes with it, told him he needs a cylinder mower 😂, still a big fan of tif tuff just did my first Reno and has come up a treat and mowing at 7mm
I live in Brisbane and thinking about Sir Grange for a lawn renovation next spring. Great to see this series so I can see if i am making the right choice.
Im Brissie too. SG layed on sand as required now 1mth old and looking fantastic. Gotta water each day and fill joins with sand after laying though I’d say. This grass is way better the the SW buff I had before.
If there’s a better warm season turf for the home lawn, I haven’t seen it. Consider using auxinone to encourage root establishment, I have found it beneficial with zoysia.
Interesting that you decided to retain the frequency but half the quantity, why this rather than the usual "less frequent but deeper" mantra which would mean retaining the 10min but half the frequency? Wouldn't that lead to the water soaking in and thus deeper roots and better drought tolerance?
Hi mate great question, The short reason is simply the roots aren't deep enough yet for deep irregular waters schedules yet. As time goes on then yes absolutely I support the deep infrequent watering model
@@jordanc3233 I’m going to let it settle in for 12 months then hit it next spring. SGZ takes a while to establish a good root system . So in my climate I think it’s best to let it find its feet before I do anything crazy with it .
What's your fertilisation plan going to be like with SGZ? Granular and Liquid? Or will you just stick to liquid since the nitrogen requirements on the lawn is so low?
Im not 💯 decided yet, As i'm quite new to Zoysia I plan to get a feel for it in my own way before locking in a plan. Im on a learning curve with this variety
I've been loving this series on the backyard and giving me so many good tips on my own backyard I'm slowly plugging away at. Although I'm still unsure on installing irrigation and leaning toward getting a hand with getting that... but I was wondering if the same process is applied for sowing seeds? My funds are very tight at the moment and I'm already stressing on the thought of paying a landscaper (but it makes sense to get irrigation done right now before trying to establish the lawn by watering with a hose/sprinkler attachment). Adding the cost of turf to this struggling household may be pushing the bank account a bit too much 😅😢 I've got couch seeds ready to sow when I get good quality soil down.
Yeah still similar to turf but you’ll be also up against competing weeds while the couch germinates and establishes . Secret to seed is keep the surface moist at all times during germination and establishment
@theaussielawn yeah worried about the weeds. I'm currently taking off the top layer of crappy soil and most of the junk growing in it and being cautious with spraying any poison. Will have about an inch of fresh, clean soil to seed. Will definitely keep the water up! Thanks for the videos mate, loving ya work!
@@mkii9110 particularly on sloping ground it can help to avoid topsoil washing out during heavy rains while the lawn is bedding in. It will also mow a bit neater initially.

I was checking daily for this upload - simply outstanding ✨️... I noticed you always use sandy loams for your underlay - is there any reason to steer clear of the special organic turf mixes? It is a case of don't believe the hype? I'm preparing for 400m2 of tiftuf and inclined to go with a stock 80/20......

Fantastic work mate. Could watch you lay turf all day. The turf looks fantastic. I laid a Sir Grange lawn last year on a sand based profile in Hexham. It took a good 6 months to properly take root. Really interested to hear how yours goes in a different environment and soil type.

Love this video and can’t wait to learn more from taking care of it since being laid down.
It’s so ready for a mow already! I can’t wait to do it either hahaha
@ Haha it’s your magic hands 🤭 Impatiently waiting for the next videos haha
Looks great 👍
@@tonyallis5249 thanks Tony
Love the content can’t wait to see the first mow 👊😀
It does look great!

Soo Good👌
Perfect time of year to lay the new Zoysia,
Will be good to see an update of the other zoysia breeds your growin out back.
🍻
Brilliant
@@mielkamielka552 thank you
Looks wicked good mate 👍

Looks amazing that Brenton already
Looks good mate seems max didn't get the memo of stay of the lawn🤣🤣

what's the benefit for doing the tile pattern? once fully grown gaps should all disappear right?
