Give Your Lawn a Fresh Start
Some lawns just need a reset.
Regular mowing keeps things tidy, but if your lawn is thinning, spongy, hard underfoot or struggling to grow despite water and fertiliser, the problem is usually underneath compacted soil, a thick layer of dead thatch, or both.
Lawn Sorted provides professional lawn renovation services across Geelong and the Surf Coast. We assess your lawn's condition, grass type and soil before recommending the right combination of treatments.
No upselling. No unnecessary extras. Just what your lawn actually needs.
Spring is one of the best times to renovate warm-season lawns like buffalo, kikuyu and couch in Geelong — the grass is waking up and ready to respond. If your lawn has come out of winter looking tired, now is the time to act.

A lawn renovation may be the right call if your lawn is:
Thin, patchy or struggling to fill in
Spongy or soft from a thick layer of dead thatch
Hard and compacted underfoot
Slow to absorb water (puddles forming on the surface)
Uneven or difficult to mow level
Struggling despite regular watering and fertilising
Coming out of winter looking sparse and unhealthy
If you're unsure, send us a photo and we'll give you an honest assessment before you spend anything.
Signs Your Lawn May Need Renovating
What Your Renovation May Include
Every lawn is different. Depending on your grass type, condition and what you want to achieve, your renovation may include any combination of the following:
✓ Lawn scalping: cutting the grass right down to remove excess growth and expose the soil
✓ Scarifying / dethatching: removing the layer of dead grass and organic material (thatch) that builds up over time and blocks water and nutrients from reaching the roots
✓ Core aeration: pulling small plugs of soil from the lawn to relieve compaction and allow air, water and fertiliser to penetrate
✓ Topdressing: applying a layer of quality sand or soil mix to improve levels and enhance soil structure
✓ Fertilising and soil conditioning: feeding the lawn and improving the soil environment for new growth
✓ Wetting agent application: helping water-repellent soils absorb moisture evenly
✓ Overseeding: introducing new seed where appropriate to thicken thin areas
✓ Green-waste removal and clean-up: leaving the site tidy when we're done
After inspecting your lawn, we'll walk you through what we recommend and provide clear, upfront pricing before any work begins.
Lawn Varieties We Renovate
We renovate common Geelong lawn types, including:
Sir Walter Buffalo: one of the most popular lawns in Geelong; responds well to scarifying and aeration when done at the right time of year
Kikuyu: vigorous grower that benefits from hard renovation to control thatch and restore density
Couch / TifTuf Bermuda: warm-season grasses that respond strongly to spring renovation when soil is warming
Tall fescue and cool-season grasses: renovated differently and at different times; autumn is usually the right window for these
The timing and method of your renovation will depend on your grass variety and its current condition. We'll tell you what's right for your lawn, not just what's easiest to schedule.
✓ Local knowledge of Geelong soils and grass varieties
✓ Recommendations based on what we see, not a price list
✓ Clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras
✓ Professional equipment including scarifiers, aerators, topdressing spreaders
✓ Aftercare instructions so you know exactly how to water and care for the lawn during recovery
✓ Fully insured local business; not a franchise
We'll also follow up to make sure you know how to handle the recovery period. A renovation only works if the aftercare is right.
