I always find that when I order something exciting to be delivered to your place or the office its like a present. Its exciting and I can’t wait to open it. But sometimes I realise after I order something I don’t always know how it will be delivered.

At Coastal Turf when you order an exciting new lawn present for yourself, or your loved ones you don’t really think about how it will be delivered. We try and explain on the phone as best we can about the delivery process, but a picture os worth a thousand words.

One of our amazing customers in Ocean Shores took these great pictures of the delivery and installation. Ethel is just the Turf dog tester.

Hope this answers your questions a little, other wise give me a ring and we can have a chat about the best way to get the turf to your place.

This week Tony the Turfman and his crew installed a beautiful new Empire Zoysia lawn at Ocean Shores. The gentleman wanted a thinner leafed soft cushioning lawn, without the fuss and other, and the ability to withstand a little shade. And he choose the Empire Zoysia. Ethel the Turfdog agreed with his choice. It was a wonderful lawn for a lie down after a quick inspection of the property. And Tony the Turfman and his boys worked hard to install the beautiful Zoysia slabs into a Empire Zoysia Lawn.

AS you can see, team work is the best idea for lawn installations, with someone carting the turf to the right places, someone lining up and installing the slabs, and the most skilled and coordinated person using the cane knife to cut into the edges and shape the slabs into a beautiful lawn.

Have a great ANZAC weekend. For those marching, thank you.

We are booked out this weekend, but are happy to take your orders for the following week from Tuesday on delivery.

At Coastal Turf we work hard on our paddocks to create beautiful soft lush green turf grasses for your new lawn. We use a special recipe to feed the plant and nourish its every need to create a healthy root system, which support the lush green leaves which will become your lawn. By feeding the plant on our farm, when we harvest the turf with soil and roots as about half the slab width 9the other half thick lush fluffy leaf) we send along to you all the best bits to create a beautiful lawn. This secret family recipe is tried and proven over the past 20 years to create not only gorgeous green paddocks on our farm, but Stunning lawns at your house. And it all starts at the ground level up.

Soils are so important. Microorganisms, worms and bugs are so important in the growth of a healthy lawn. These are crucial in unlocking the stored nutrients in the soil for the plant to absorb to become a Gorgeous Green Grass. Fertilisers within our secret family recipe provide the stored nutrients for these amazing animals to eat and poop out for the plant to absorb.  Sunlight is vital. The leaf requires the amazing warmth and nutrients that the sun provides to photosynthesis to stay green and lush, so picking the right turf grass for your area is really important. Low lights a thick leaf, full sun a thinner leaf. Water, like for us mere mortals, is really important for all life to survive. Where Coastal Turf comes in is really important. And that is providing you with not only the right grass for your situation, but most importantly providing you with a Healthy, Green, Lush (secret family recipe enriched) Turf Grass for your lawn. By starting out with the best, you give your new lawn the best opportunity to be the healthiest greenest lushest lawn in the street. And be the envy of all those around you.

I’m off to mix up the family turf recipe to feed our paddocks. Unfortunately it doesn’t smell as good to me as our secret Scone recipe, but the paddocks sure do love it. 😉

Autumn is here and the air is cooling down. And that means its much nicer to be outside, especially when your installing your new lawn. Our climate here on the North Rivers and the Gold Coast is so special and wonderful that it means we have great planting and growing weather all year. So its much nicer to be outside installing your new lawn in the cooler months of April, than in the heat of January. And with the kids at home with school holidays its is GREAT time to bribe and, well not use kid labour, but ask for help from you adoring children to install your new lawn.

This family had the advantage of a teenage son who was wonderful at helping and  installing new lawns. School holidays are a great time to install your new lawn. So teenagers and  primary school kids are great at unrolling your lawn. And the little ones can be chief waterers.
