Merry Christmas everyone! This time of year can feel so rushed and stressful. And the best place to destress is in nature. And the best place to find nature near you is on your new lawn.
This week we only have Saturday deliveries available. Please book early so you are not disappointed.
Please call 0266763695 to place all orders.
Coastal Turf’s team would like to thank everyone for your support of our family business and look forward to creating new green stress free spaces in the New year.
This morning at breakfast, the Coastal Turf family was sitting around eating Vegemite on Toast and I was scrolling through my facebook feed as I listened to the chatting and sipping tea. And then this picture popped up on my feed.
And my face got wide eyed and a little bit frightened. How did Facebook know we where eating Vegemite! Is my phone turning on me!
So of course I showed everyone else at the table. And they did not see the spookiness of eating Vegemite and it popping up on my feed. They laughed and said it looked like some the top dressing jobs they had seen in the last couple of weeks.
Top dressing your lawn at this time of year is a great idea. It helps to put great nutrients back around the roots system and feed the lawn before the heat of Summer. It also helps the roots to trap the water that goes down to its root system, making your lawn more drought tolerant over the heat of the day.
But, just like Vegemite, if you under do the top dressing soil, your lawn will not taste the soil’s wonderful nutrients.
Over do the top dressing soil, and your lawn will suffocate. The root system will not be able to breathe and the leaves will not see any of the brilliant sunlight. And you may become a lawn serial killer.
But if you spread the soil over at a thick consistency, ensuring that a third of the leaf is still visible. Then water in the soil after you have finished. (Kinda like putting the butter on as well) This will drive all the good nutrients down to the roots system and help trap all the moisture in the soil near the roots which is where you really need it to be.
So, just like Goldilocks, and a really good piece of Vegemite Toast , spread your top dressing just right! Any questions give us a call!
And your lawn can look like this!

Wow. It’s the middle of November. It seems like it came so fast. Not long ago I felt like I was still wrapped in jeans and a jumper to keep warm. Now I am trying to work out if I really do have a swim suit that will “fit” me anymore.
At the breakfast table this morning my 3 kids and husband and I were talking about all the things we have on over the next couple of weeks. Because school is nearly finished, and Christmas parties are starting , and summer sport finishes, and friends have parties and the list goes on we thought we should get organised.
My son is in year 10. So we have a formal next weekend. And my daughter is in year 6 so we have a graduation the week after and a MINI Formal for her (and we still need a dress. AHHH). My youngest has more sporting commitments than I remember saying it was ok to go to. I guess like all families we are full on! I think my husband said something like he had Football Club commitments, but cause I don’t have to drive him to this (hopefully) I didn’t really listen.
All Families are all really busy with all the “exciting” stuff our families get up to. Driving people here, getting people here and there, still managing to go to work and sleep occasionally. So the last thing on most of your minds is to install that new lawn.
That is where Coastal Turf can come and lend a hand. I can’t run your kids around or attend that meeting that none of us really want to go to but have to, but we can arrange to have a qualified Turf Installer come to your place, give you a quote on site, and then install your brand new Coastal Turf lawn with no fuss or bother from you. We take all the hard work out of it.
Think about how wonderful it will be to wake up one morning and see dirt and dust, and go to bed that night with a lush beautiful green Coastal Turf lawn surrounding your home. And all you did was make a phone call! Our guys did all the rest of the work for you.
Let us take some of the pressure off your family this start of the silly season and get your lawn all ready for the end of the year rush.
Imagine this at your place!
Call us or email us today and get some stress out of our life.
This last couple of weeks have been really super hot. And it’s not even summer yet. And I have been watching various websites and it does seem its gonna get hotter. Have you noticed that some areas just so much hotter than others?
Like on one of the 30 degree days I was picking the kids up from their school, or as my husband and I call it, the concrete jungle. There is literally concrete from one side to the other. Which you know is great for handball, but not that great for running around on. And it quite literally felt sooo much hotter there than it was at the farm.
Now when we were at the farm we don’t have a lot of tress to shade us. We have big wide open paddocks. Because these are the best way to grow as much turf as possible as quickly as we can to become your new lawn. And we were out in the sun in the middle of the day. It was hot. But really bearable.
The kids school has large tall concrete buildings. A huge giant tree. Heaps of concrete. And a small grasses area. And an area with synthetic grass for small kids to sit. When we came to the school at 3.15pm, the school felt really HOT. And I know that part of it was because we were in the middle of town now. And that the buildings block the wind. But a large part of it is how much the concrete radiates the heat!
I now know why my kids never wear a jumper to school. They won’t have to!
So I was not really surprised when one of my friends sent me this U-Tube movie today. Have a look at the huge difference that cool natural green grass can make to the surrounding environment.
Or head over to the link and see the video. It really makes you think! And I am for sure happy to be at the farm rather than at school. Well for heaps of reasons.
But think how much cooler your home, your work or your kids school can be with a natural green grass lawn. I know where I would much rather sit this weekend….
