About us

Coastal Turf is a family-owned and operated farm that has been serving the Tweed, Gold Coast, Northern Rivers, Byron Bay, Suffolk Park, Ewingsdale, and Bangalow regions for over 25 years.

We are located on the Tweed Coast in Northern NSW, with our property at 279 Round Mountain Road, Cabarita Beach, NSW—just 15 minutes south of the Gold Coast Airport and 30 minutes north of Byron Bay.

We have over 40 acres of turf under production. On our rural property, we have dedicated 5 acres for eco-conservation, featuring natural bushland to encourage native flora and fauna such as paperbark trees, eucalyptus trees, koalas, kookaburras, and echidnas.

Coastal Turf produces six different varieties of turf. We are an Australian-owned business and proud members of the national turf industry body, Turf Australia. We take pride in producing a high-quality product and investing in the future of the turf industry.

Coastal Turf encourages phone contact for customers who are unsure about which variety of turf is best for their new lawn. We invite you to visit our farm to touch and feel the grass in person. Sample pots of all six turf varieties are available for viewing at our office on-site. This way, we can help you choose the best grass for your location, yard size, and the amount of sunlight your area receives.
