Reviews from turf customers
★★★★★Google · 2021
“We ordered some turf which was amazing quality and was organised on their side super fast. We needed to order more and they had it cut and dropped off within 2 days of ordering. They also have great customer service and were great to deal with. Would recommend 100%.”
turf: your questions answered
Which turf copes best with shade in Brisbane?
Of our four varieties, Sir Walter Buffalo handles shade best and suits yards with only a few hours of direct sun a day. For full-sun yards that get a lot of foot traffic, Wintergreen or Zoysia usually suit better.
How much turf do I need?
Measure each section of lawn in square metres (length × width), add them up, then allow about 5% extra for trimming around edges and curves. Turf is ordered per square metre.
What should I lay turf on?
Lay turf over 75–100mm of under turf soil, levelled and lightly compacted. A good base helps the roots take hold quickly and keeps the lawn even as it settles.
