Is anyone else standing watching the skies for clues as to what is going to happen over the week?

Autumn is the time to prepare your lawn for the cooler months of winter. Feeding your already established lawn with some wonderful chicken manure mixed with some sandy loam will give your lawn all the nutrients it needs to be a gorgeous winter lawn.

And of course autumn is a great time to install your new lawn.
In Autumn, the climate is cooler. This means that as the the installer, you will feel so much better after putting gin your new lawn. And your new lawn will do too. The turf will not get heat stressed in the transport stage, and then as your new lawn, it will be cooler and happier.

A real laid back lawn – pardon the pun. Installing before is perfect! The rain brings down so many wonderful nutrients through the skies that are just perfect for your lawns growth and happiness. So by installing during the rain, or better still for the installer, just before rain,  you introduce the new lawn to a great environment. All the great stuff you put under the turf slab, as well as the wonderful elements coming from the sky, will make your lawn the freshest greenest fluffiest lawn, without much fuss from you.

So the rain is great. In moderation of course. Hopefully we don’t get as exciting a down pour as Sydney did.

This Saturday Coastal turf will be commemorating the Fallen this Saturday. We will be remembering all those ANZAC’s who have personally touched our lives as well as those who have influenced our lives through history.

We look forward to helping you with all your lawn needs on Monday morning.

Thank you

Sarah and all the Coastal Turf Team.

Its the end of the school holidays and that means I am going to have be a lot more organised every morning.

At the moment the Kids and I are going to the same place, The Farm, for the day.

From Monday the kids will be going to the school bus and I will be going to the farm, which means we all need to be up ready and going by 7.15am every day. Oh how I have enjoyed our 8am starts. It has been wonderful. It has been great to work along side my kids as well. I really enjoy having them on the farm with me, chanting about what is going on in their lives, them helping me move irrigation pipes, and the general fun it is to be with your kids when everyone is happy. And going back to school means that we are all jumping back into the weekend Sports and after school training as well. As a parent life does have its extremely busy moments and its fun laughing moments. And sometimes at the same time!

So for all those busy parents about to jump head first back into the school – work – sport – business that is school age kids, I totally understand if you have forgotten to order your turf for the weekend, we at Coastal Turf will do our best to make sure we can get you the right Turf on the right day to you. After all we are all busy, and sometimes planing a couple of days ahead is just unreasonable.

Chat soon all you busy people

Its the second week of the school holidays and my house was full of kids, the occasional dog, and dirt. Mostly because over the long weekend (it didn’t really feel on enough) we decided to make a little garden. And as you do, we didn’t actually finished the area. And of course it is where the kids love to play. Even though I didn’t think it was on the way to our trampoline either from the house or the return trip, they always seem to walk that way somehow. And being in that little bit of dirt and mud with them. I know I talk to everyone all day about how great it is to get turf down over the dirt and stop mud being walked through the house..

But today I really really believe it. Its like a reaffirmation of how great turf (or instant mud covering) is! Still the kids walk that way now, but it is to get the softness of the couch on their feet. I did tell them it needs to stop otherwise my turf patch will never establish.

But I am defiantly a True believer again! The turf patch means no more feeling to wipe your feet properly, no more yelling to put shoes on, and no more mopping! Oh that is a joy. If only I could work out a way to get them to shut the door……

TGIF – Thank God Its Friday. I must be really really old now. I have a 13 year old son now and he is using all these “words” like LOL and TGIF and ROFL.

I really don’t think they are real words. But thats what he says. And today I do believe the TGIF one is wonderful.

Being a short week we have all been trying to jam in as much as possible int our working weeks. And with daylight savings finished as well, it does feel like this week was a bit more full aunthood usual. And that is why we deliver on a Saturday morning as well. It gives everyone who that extra day to get fresh turf to their new lawns to install. And if your sneaky, invite a few friends over for a BBQ and hold the drinks for ransom until they have installed a few slabs of turf. And this week with our little working week it also gives us all an extra day to get get things done. So enjoy your weekend, whether it be relaxing in PJs all weekend, or investing in your home with a new Green lush Coastal Turf lawn or trying to catch up on the washing (thats my exciting plan).

Many of you may nor may not know that my son Riley (who turns 13 is 3 days.) has autism. Aspect was a great help when Riley was little, so Coastal Turf is supporting Aspect’s #colourofautism campaign. Everyday on Facebook I am posting a coloured picture to do with Riley, autism and of course Turf. Riley is amazing and has learnt over the years to accept the dirt on his hands and help out on the farm now. His morning line now is what are my jobs for today? And what does he want for payment? WiFi Time! To watch Horrible Histories! Todays colour is green!

Family Farm

Go and support Aspect and their great work.

A soon to be mother of a teenage child. Sigh. Not sure if I feel old, or excited. I’ll let you know on Thursday.

Chat soon everyone.
