Well its been a real community time at Coastal Turf this month. We have gone to Pottsville Beach Public School to supply and help install over 700sqm of gorgeous green grass, Bogangar Public School to spread the green, and Casuarina Hockey Club to Green their hill with Wintergreen Couch. I love working with community organizations. People are always excited about getting new grass, but when its an community organization, you get lots of really excited people who are keen to work. I suppose its because they have been working hard and long to get to the point of grassing an area, which is usually the final step, and People can finally see all their hard work put to use.  I have done my fair share of BBQ’s for schools and sporting clubs, and I’m sure that I will be doing more over the years, so I understand that when you fund raise and fund raise, its great to finally see why you stood at that BBQ for hours.

At Pottsville School it was great to see Mums, Dads, Teachers, kids, and community volunteers come into the grounds and install some grass so that the kids have now a lovely soft green patch to enjoy their summer on.

At the Hockey Club, Tony said that the look on the Hockey Club members face was a smile as wide as their face. And his smile was just as large when he talked about it. It is definitely rewarding when you install any lawn and see the smiling faces, but in large numbers it can bring a tear to your eye.

PS hope your school holidays are going well. 🙂

Over the past couple of weeks I have been working with Craig B the president of the Pottsville Public School P&C to green up around their new amazing exciting Cola (for those without kids at school that Covered Over Learning Area – or shaded play area). And we have taken the dirt to Gorgeous Green. I must say that the kids , parents and teachers that I worked with on Thursday were a fantastic group of people. The kids never wore out and with Pride in their step, they installed their new grass. The parents, some who had never installed grass before took to it with great gusto, and the look on the helping teachers face was fantastic as they saw their dirt filled play ground transform into a green lawn of joy (one little boys comment. I loved it!).

Here are the before pictures….

And more importantly the during and after pictures….

From all of us here at Coastal Turf, we hope that every child at Pottsvillle school enjoys the grassed areas, that the teachers can relax a bit more knowing that the kids are playing on soft grass, and the Parents congratulate themselves for such a great job. I know that I am a little sore and tired today. But I bet those kids are going strong today still. Itching to go out on the grass and play. Sorry guys not until after the holidays…

I know that I tend to prattle on about how great Qld Blue Couch is, but I really do love the grass. I love its dark colour, its easy going nature, and super soft feel under foot. I love that even after months of no winter rain, it still is looking dark green in peoples yards. And my love has been spreading. All the way from our little farm at Cabarita Beach, down to the ocean views in Vaucluse in Sydney.

I recently went down to see how my babies were doing. And see for yourself?

Its green fluffy and the owners as well as the landscaper is very happy with the grass. So am I. Look at that. Our grass from our little farm all the way down with Harbour Bridge views. I think our grass can almost say its been everywhere.

Coastal Turf can get your grass to your door stop, no matter how far away you are or how hard you think your location is. I will get the grass to you. Especially if its our baby Blue.
