“Thanks so much. Needed 15m³ of underturf delivered to Narangba. Even with the earth works company changing when they needed it delivered multiple times, Jimel Transport looked after us. Will be using again for sure.”
Most new lawns need 75–100mm of under turf soil. One cubic metre covers about 10 m² at 100mm deep, or about 13 m² at 75mm.
Premium Under Turf Soil is a richer blend that gives new turf a stronger start, which helps on poor clay or sandy sites. Standard Under Turf Soil suits sites that already have reasonable soil underneath.
Garden soils are made for beds and can hold too much water or settle unevenly under a lawn. Under turf soil is blended to drain freely and stay level, which is what new turf needs.
