I often get asked how does it all work? How does my lawn become my lawn? Well there are 7 easy steps.

Step 1 – We grow a beautiful paddock of turf grass by fertilising, hand weeding, spraying, aerovating, watering and other Coastal Turf Secrets to make the best quality turf grass we can for your new lawn.

Step 2 – Mow the paddock, water the paddock, and prepare the paddock for harvesting.

Step 3 – Harvest! head over to our Facebook page to watch the video. https://www.facebook.com/Coastal-Turf-Australia-168345776557591/?ref=hl

Step 4 – Deliver the Turf pallets to you

 

Step 5 – This could be you or us installing your new lawn

Step 6 – Sit back and water your lawn lightly for 15 days

Step 7 – ENJOY!

The rain this week was wonderful. It really freshened everything up. The grass looks better for it, and my tanks are much better off for it. Our paddocks always kick off in colour after a bit of rain, and it looks amazing. I on the other hand, look terrible, after a bit of rain on the farm. Now I’m not the type of girl to complain that my hair goes all frizzy in the rain, but I am the type of girl who does complain little when there’s more mud in my hair than there really should be, I get a little whiney. And then when there is more mud on me than there is on the ground, I ask to go home for a shower. This is a picture of me after we harvested yesterday after the rain. I really didn’t think it was going to be THAT wet, but it was. And a little bit muddy.

 

But the lovely man in Kingscliff rang me today and said that his turf is beautiful and has made his house look so fresh. I thanked him kindly and did’t tell him how muddy I got harvesting the turf for him. Because I’m sure he was probably pretty dirty himself. I’m glad that all my dirty work doesn’t go unappreciated. And I’m told that mud is really good of the skin. I’ll let you all know in a couple of weeks. Hopefully my skin will be glowing.

 

And now that the sun is out, and my face is clean, its back down to the farm this afternoon to cut some more wonderful, beautiful soft turf for someone’s new Saturday Lawn.

 

Chat soon, probably in MUD

Our farm is located at beautiful Cabarita Beach, NSW. And that means we have great soils for growing beautiful turf, and have the ocean only 3k’s away, wonderful schools close for my kids, and we also run on Daylight Savings Time. So we are the bright and early risers. And I love it. daylight savings means that I feel like I have more day to do more in. I don’t really, but I like feeling like I do. It also means I now have two 7.30am deliveries! Almost feels like cheating time.

So now we can now have super early deliveries for both NSW and Qld. So we can make both of sides of the border happy. But sometimes it does make people upset. Like when I call people early in the morning, in what I think is a reasonable hour- 8am, is sometimes way too early for people in Qld as its only 7am. And sometimes that is too early for people to talk turf. So please let me know if you are NSW or Qld if you want a call back. And I will try my best to not call you at 5am.

And that is why we live in wonderful NSW. Its for areas like this where we can grow the best turf for your Coastal home.

Chat soon, and not too early.

What are your long weekend plans? Are you going camping out into the wild yonder? Are you going to visit Grandma? Or are you lazing by the Pool? To those lucky ones you are probably installing a new lawn? And the luckier ones are sitting back and enjoying their Coastal Turf lawn. Like a Gentleman today who asked if he should sit with a stubby in one hand and a hose in the other all weekend for his newly installed turf. I thought that sounded like a lovely idea. Or are you going to be closely glued to a TV screen on Sunday to cheer the Cowboys home to a Grand Final NRL victory? Thats is where we will be. We do have a small problem in our house this weekend though, because we have a couple of Bronco supporters and then more Cowboys supporters. So Sunday is the day of fun and games at our place.

 

This year we are off to the Sunshine Coast to celebrate with some friends and family. And like some of you may have seen on other posts, we always have the traditional Grand Final Half Time mini game. This year is no different. All the Dads and some Mums get our there with the very excited kids and play a mini game of football. It is usually more funny, than fun. Which is awesome! And in previous years, we have played on the Soft Blue couch lawn or our Palmetto Patch at our place and had a lovely comforting surface to fall back on. Ahhh. This year we will be on foreign soil. An Away game if you will. I just hope that their lawn is as awesome as ours, and that the falling (not so much tackling. The beer usually helps with that) is as soft and comforting. Although they do have a Qld Blue Couch Lawn. So fingers crossed. I hope your half time shenanigans as as fun as ours!

But before you go and wrestle on the turf, preferably a Coastal Turf turfed lawn, why not go and have a drive around the new estate at Miramar in Kingscliff/Casuarina and find the new Surf Life Savings Raffle house. Tony the Turfman installed the lawn and is maintaining its beauty to make your raffle ticket purchase worth more money long term! So support the Surf Living Saving people, be envious of the blue lawn, but buy a ticket to support a great cause.

 

Ant then next week call and have us bring your house some beautiful Blue to install at your place, so you can be envious no more. Just content with a beautiful lawn (and hopefully a Cowboys win!!!!!!)

 

Chat soon, but not early on Monday
