School Holidays are one of those times that you really come to appreciate the back yard. When the kids are inside and on top of each other and then you, sometimes the best place for them is OUTSIDE!

And when they finally do come back inside, it is always nicer if they don’t bring mud, and dirt and grime back in with them. Having a soft green lush lawn is a great entertainer for all ages, especially kids on school holidays. All the kids I know love to run outside without shoes, because at school you always have to wear schools – as my kids complain. So the times when they can run, play, jump and wrestle, and all those amazing things that kids do on soft green grass.

I remember as a kid never wearing shoes, always having fun outside. And I love that my kids are now doing the same thing.

At Coastal Turf we like to help with School holiday fun. Help mums and dads and grandmas and aunts and uncles have fun as well. A Coastal Turf lawn will give your family a place to run, play, jump and wrestle, and all those amazing things. Our Coastal Mix lawn means that your yard can become a playground of amazing wonder, without crushing your bank account. It looks amazing, feels great under foot and takes little care.

Little kids or big kids. Your lawn outside during the spring holidays is the best place for them and you!

So often our green soft lawns are over looked as being the very important places they are. Not only are they the fist thing people see when they come over to your place (and hopefully the first thing they envy at your place) and it adds at least $75000 to your home value, but quite often they are one of the best places for your family to get out and bond with each other. Spontaneous chasing games, football matches of the Decade, trampoline stadium seating, and a quiet place to lie down and watch the clouds together.

At Coastal Turf we think our turf going into your new lawn is all of those things and more. And to make sure that your new Coastal Turf Lawn is going to be all of that and more, we fun test it first. Hollie my 8 year old daughter cartwheels at least 100 time across a paddock before we harvest the grass for your lawn. Marcus my 6 year old and Riley my 12 year old play limitless amounts of football tackles on the paddocks to ensure their softness when falling as well as their durability. We make sure that the FUN is put into your lawn so it comes all ready for your families first footsteps, first games and matches, and first sit and chat. We are a family Farm, which means our kids are intricate parts of our lives and business. Its what makes our farm personal when we chat to you.

Also harvesting the your new lawn is a family affair, with my father driving the harvester, myself or Mick stacking and Riley folding or supervising as he calls it. Good family fun. Even if we all walk away very dirty at the end of the day.

Riley and I after we fun tested a new lawn going to Sanctuary Cove.

Hope your family has as much fun on your new lawn as we do creating it.

September is a month full of fun and excitement here at Coastal Turf. Being a Father Daughter family company it is always REALLY REALLY bad to forget about Fathers Day. Needless to say, being to Amazing daughter that I am, I have always remembered, so far, and made a fuss of Dad. Because really without Dad (with a lot of help from Mum) there wouldn’t be me. And then without, them and Myself and Tony the Turfman there wouldn’t be our amazing children. So really we have a lot to be thankful to Dad for.

This Fathers Day, (this Sunday the 7th September for those who don;t work so closely with their Dad and don’t have reminders an your phone) we are giving Dad a rest. I said to him he could have all Sunday off and I will even make him his favourite dinner. Rissoles and Gravy with Mash. He did say he always gets Sunday off. I then responded by saying “well, see how much I love and appreciate you!” hehe

When I was chatting with a lovely Gentleman in Pottsville yesterday, He has ordered his turf for Saturday, so when all his Loving family comes to see him on Sunday, they can all install his new lawn for him. What a FANTASTIC idea I said. Then one of his children rang through and paid for his new lawn. What a wonderful family and a lovely way to spend a Sunday. This Gentleman was saying that he will have 3 generations together again, and he expects two generations will be able to install the turf. He was going to give his wife the day off, and his sons and daughter, and grandchildren are going to install the lawn. He will  BBQ for them, and he said as a Father of course he has the right to yell instructions from his comfy chair. I asked his Son about what he thought would happen on Sunday, he said “…it will be hard to stop Dad getting out an helping. It will be good fun…”

And thats what Fathers Day is about. Having good fun with your Dad, showing him how much you appreciate all he does and has done for you and your family. And maybe like the Pottsville Gentleman, your family can show your lawn with Grass. Install them a lush new fresh lawn on Sunday. Have a BBQ lunch and sit back and enjoy the Green.

Happy Fathers Day to all you Dads. I know we will all be having fun eating Rissoles.
