Kurt’s service was outstanding - he went above and beyond to ensure my dishwasher and new sink was installed correctly, and even assisted in cutting the bench top and putting in the cabinet. Great communication and customer service.

Kurt handled two separate jobs for us: clearing stormwater drainage and installing hot water taps while rerouting a solar water drain pipe. He performed both tasks with professionalism and a friendly, polite, and approachable attitude. His price is also quite reasonable. We have complete trust in Kurt's work and will rely on him for all our future plumbing needs. Highly recommend Plumbologist!

Spoke to Kurt on Friday afternoon around 5pm, he sounded like he was finished up for the day and on his way home. However, this didn't stop Kurt from wanting to help us out. Kurt was reasonable with advising what the expected job would cost (which was cheaper by a mile than 4 other plumbers I had contacted prior). Kurt attended the house, fixed the issue within 30min - mind you, 10min of that time was waiting for someone to arrive at the home to let him in. Have saved Kurts number because we will definitely be using his services again! Thanks Kurt - You're honestly the man bro!

📞 Call Now or Book Online

Can you remove and dispose of the turf too?

Yes, we offer full turf cutting and removal services. We can load up and legally dispose of all green waste, saving you time and hassle.

How deep do you cut the turf?

We typically cut between 25mm 50mm deep, depending on your needs. This removes grass and root base while keeping soil intact for future turf laying or landscaping.

Do I need to prepare the area before turf cutting?

Please ensure the area is clear of obstacles, furniture, hoses, or debris. We'll take care of the rest including marking out and cutting the turf to the right depth.

Can I reuse the old turf?

Sometimes, yes. If your turf is in healthy condition, we can roll it carefully during cutting, allowing you to relay it in other areas or donate/sell it.

How long does turf cutting take?

For most residential properties, turf cutting is completed within a few hours. Larger commercial sites may take a day or two depending on access and size.

Is turf cutting noisy or messy?

We use modern, low-noise turf cutters that minimise disruption. The process is fast and clean and we always tidy up when the job is done.

Can turf cutting damage irrigation systems?

We always ask about subsurface pipework before starting. If you have sprinkler lines, we’ll either avoid or hand-dig around them safely. Let us know during your quote.
