If you're anywhere on the Bassendean sand, which runs through Success, Cockburn and a long way inland, the ground is old and leached and holds almost no water or nutrient on its own. Turf laid straight onto it struggles. Lawn Mix gives the roots a free draining but organic base to take hold in.
Spring or early autumn, while the soil is warm, gives new turf the best start on top of this mix.
The sand keeps the base free draining and stable while the organic fines help young roots establish quickly in Perth's fast-draining sandy ground.
