03 / 04

Standard depth is 150 mm below grade for lawn re-seeding, 300 mm if you intend to replant or pave over.

04 / 04

Frequently Asked

Common questions, plainly answered.

How deep do you grind?

150 mm for re-seeding lawn, 300 mm for replanting or paving. Anything deeper has a cost-vs-benefit conversation attached and we will be straight about it.

Can you grind close to a wall or fence?

Yes. Our smallest grinder is 670 mm wide and will work right up to a wall, fence or shed. Some grinding within 300 mm of a structure may have to be hand-finished with an axe.

What about services in the ground?

It is your responsibility to flag known services. We carry a CAT scanner and will check before starting, but the grinder cannot see drains, gas, water or fibre below ground.

Will the lawn recover?

Yes. Once the cavity is backfilled and the surface raked off, a re-seed in spring or autumn will be back to green within two months.
