Family Turf

One of my greatest friends, whom I met through ours beautiful girls going to school together, sent me this email with this lovely sign. Its so right.

And one of the best parts is that you are dealing straight with the grower. No middlemen. Just straight from farm to you.

Have a lovely weekend.

I clicked on the blog this morning and reflected on what we had done this weekend that I could relate back to turf. And in truth we did not do very much. all my wonderful kids went to school this week. So now I am a working mum with no kids on the office floor. Kinda quiet and sad. Miss the funny conversations we had, and the knowledge that I could pass down to them about Grass. And of course the mandatory I need chocolate breaks. There is no need for the chocolate breaks now. Well there is no one else “forcing” me to have chocolate anymore. I guess now I can just enjoy Chocolate just because.

 

And the kids have been great. Even though they have had a full on week at school, they still came to the farm Thursday and Friday to see if there was anything they could do to help. I think I am a very proud mother. And an exhausted one as well. That’s why this weekend we just had a quiet time. Nothing full on fun or too exciting. We all just hung out together and had fun. And isn’t that what families are for. Enjoying each others company in a relaxed way. No pressure.

 

We relaxed on the hill chatting on Sunday. And that is what backyard lawns should be. They should be a calm peaceful happy place for your family to enjoy. Soft and open, Green and happy. So no photos of us chatting on the hill, becuase we were we were busy chatting. So just a quick pic of my kids first day.

 

Chat soon, and hopefully we can help you make a happy GREEN relaxed area for you and your family.

Calling Green Couch, Green Couch.

I am one of those people who enjoy straight talking. I do love a joke, and but I would rather a spade be called a spade. Tell me if I have something in my teeth. I like the honest truth. And I’ll give you the best advice on the information I have I can. I do like a compliment, but will take knocks on the chin and learn from them. Sounds a bit like  a line from a dating agency, doesn’t it.

 

Its not meant to be. I am just trying to say that when you call, email, or get us out personally to give you a price on Turf, Installation, or the whole package, it will always include GST. So the price is the price. I think that you should know the whole price up front, rather than be given a price, then have to add some more money on top. You should be able to make a decision on prices reasonably and as Turf producers we have the responsibility to give you the right information, especially on price. Its your hard earned money we are talking about. And at Coastal Turf we believe you need the right information to make the choice where to spend YOUR money. So be rest assured that when you ask for our prices they are straight up! So make sure you ask other companies whether their GST is included or is it an extra price you have to pay. Its not like GST is an optional extra. Its something we all have to pay! So at Coastal Turf we are straight up. Your money is too  important to throw away, especially when its hidden.

Green is Green. And our price is GST inclusive.

Just thought I’d show you how super green the farm is at the moment after the rain. Gorgeous!

The green couch paddock near the shed is super green and lush!

A Lot of rain makes the grass VERY VERY green

Well the down pour was a little bit more than we needed on the farm! Not sure about your place but we had more rain than we asked for. Several times across the weekend I did day that I thought we’d had enough now. But we didn’t get flooded! So I am happier than I could have been. There are rather large puddles around but there is also sooooo much green! The rain sun combination has just made the farm go off (to use one of my kids words – like epic). So if you need some green to cover where the rain has been – give us a call and we can have grass to your door. Chat soon Sare This is a pic of our backyard where the kids thought they would help us mow.
