About us

Coastal Turf is a family-owned and operated farm by Sarah & Tony Mason. 

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 50 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 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. Our walk on turf samples of all ten different  turf varieties are available for viewing at our farm. This way, we can help you choose the best grass for your location, yard size, and the amount of sunlight your area receives.

John Commens – The Father, the Matriarch, the Leader of Coastal Turf

John Commens (deceased) was the heart and soul of Coastal Turf. With over 60 years of expert farming knowledge, John led our team with wisdom, patience, and a deep love for the land. He carefully manicured and perfected our paddocks, ensuring every piece of turf was grown and harvested to the highest standard.

His skill and dedication shaped the quality we’re known for today — a premium product trusted by landscapers and loved by locals. More than just a farmer, John was our mentor, our guide, and the steady hand behind everything we do. Though he may no longer walk the paddocks, his legacy lives on in every blade of grass, in every delivery, and in the pride we take in continuing his work.

Forever our leader. Forever part of Coastal Turf.
