This Easter we thought the best way to decide which lawns were best for backyard fun, was to ask the experts.

And who are better experts on backyard fun, like Easter Egg Hunts, than kids. I know our friends and families kids where very keen to help us out.

Our First group of Easter Egg Hunter experts decided that a thin leafed lawn was the best for Egg hunting, and the occasional fall while rushing to secure your chocolate goodness. See their movie here.

We then invited a larger group of boys and girls to come onto the farm and let us know which thin leafed lawn was their choice for their home.

Check out our second team of experts here. A huge thank you to these experts who made my weekend full of smiles, and the occasional melted Chocolate.

I was hoping that they wouldn’t find them all, but alas, there were no left overs on the farm.

If you have your own little team of experts at your home, who know what will make their back yard a place they all want to go out onto everyday, then bring them out to the farm to help you choose your best new lawn.

Get in Contact with us to arrange your visit. Unfortunately our experts ate all the Chocolate though.

Have a great Easter break everyone. From all the Team at Coastal Turf!

One of the joys that we have as a farm and a small family business, is when our customers send us pictures of the turf they have installed.

The little blades of grass start off as little “babies” in our paddocks and then slowly grow into thick lush harvestable turf.

Then from being a strong healthy turf slab, sitting on a pallet, the last I see of our prodigies, is usually on the back of a truck, heading out to become someones lawn.

Our drivers, lucky men, get to see the exciting beautiful places that our little paddock babies get to become beautiful lawns.

But on special occasions, from special wonderful people, we receive beautiful pictures off the amazing work people do. And one of my favourites is B3nnett Property Group.

Marty is a great guy to chat with, and one of the few people I know who can work side by side with his wife. So much respect to them both!

And this is the beautiful installation of our Beautiful baby Palmetto at Currumbin, to become someones brand new beautiful lawn. I can’t wait to see it grow and mature into a beautiful lawn.

So when we send out our baby turf slabs to grow and mature into your beautiful new lawn, please do not be shy in sending us baby pictures. We love baby pictures!

Or post them to our Facebook page and we will bring you a Fertiliser pack as a thank you!
