From Mud to Marvellous!

Take your home from the murky misery of brown mud to the feel good softness of a beautiful Green lawn.

The recent floods in our area has meant that so many of our homes, our teams included, have had the murky caking mud come through our homes and sit on our lawns. The dark depressing colour of the mud is really a reminder of all the despair we have all been through in the last month.

While we cannot take away the floods from the fore front of all of our minds, we would like to help bring back a little smile to everyones faces. Our team at Coastal Turf know how important it is to be able to smile and laugh. We want to not only make you smile again because life has just got a bit greener.

Green is such an uplifting colour. It reminds us that all will be well in the world again. We know when you have the dirty mud that gets into everything around you, it can really dampen your spirits. But having soft green grass that captures the mud and holds it away from you, can bring so much relief. It is sometimes the little things that make it easier.

Take your home from brown mud to a soft green lawn and put that smile back on your face.

Coastal Turf would like to offer trade price to all of the people who have been effected by these floods for the month of March. As our farm is coming to terms with the floods that devastated our own farm, we wanted to bring some green happiness to the people around us.

Give us a call in our office on 0266763695 and chat with us about your lawn needs. Starting from as little as $6.85 a sqm, we can help turn your house back into your home.

Our team will help you to best match the right grass to your new lawn, and also offer the best advice on how to install, and then care for your new lawn.

What a Huge start to 2022!

It has been a HUGE start to 2022. And February and March have left their mark on our farm.

We have been through so many floods in the nearly 30 years we have been turf farming here at Round Mountain. But never one so high and slow moving. Flood usually come here to our little price of paradise in big Cyclonic explosions. Coming in quick and leaving just as fast.

But this year, it came from months and months of rain just sitting above us. And then when the really heavy downfalls came on the Monday night, we all knew that the flood was coming. We just didn’t know with how much force it would come through.

This has been the largest flood we have had. I am only 1.65m tall and the water went well over 1.7m high in the shed. We do not know how high it went over on the lower parts of the farm. I know I am short, but that is a LOT of water across the farm.

Although the water is now receding from our paddocks, they are still very wet. Our team is working hard to ensure that the paddocks are clean, healthy, eeed free, and nave little to no mud on them. But the process is slow.

Over the next couple of weeks, we will have the Pacific Buffalo, Pacific Zoysia and Wintergreen Couch available to become your new lawns. The Pacific Aussie Blue Couch, Sir Walter buffalo and Coastal Mix will be about a month away from being able to be harvested.

WE really are looking forward to having paddocks look like this

To beautiful paddocks that look like this again.

Our beautiful Coastal Mix paddock about 6 weeks ago.

We look forward to working with you as closely as we can to ensure you received the best quality turf as quickly as possible. So we do appreciate your patience.

Give us a call and we can chat with you about the best turf for your lawn that is available for you.

Welcome to a Fantastic Green New Year

This year our team at Coastal Turf is looking forward to a new year full of beautiful green lawns and smiling faces.

The last couple of years have been very full on! And I think we all are looking forward to 2022 hopefully not having so many headlines with the numbers of people we have lost. And more numbers about how exciting the future is!

One way that has been proven that everyones Mental health improves, is to surround ourselves with Green. For millennia our brains have associated the colour green with safety and good health.

Even in our cities Green means GO. Green traffic lights mean go.

Green at home means we have a sanctuary. A safe happy place that our families can relax, unwind, and play on.

Coastal Turf is excited to help create so many more sanctuaries. Safe places. Happy places. Lawns for everyone to be happy on.

Coastal Turf is really looking forward to helping so many people create a Green happy place at your home.

Whether you want a thick lush buffalo lawn, or a soft fluffy couch lawn, or an in-between Empire Zoysia lawn.

Give us a call and we can help you choose the right turf to become your new lawn like these ones.

Buffalo lawns are great for active families with shady areas. Couch lawns are so soft under foot, perfect for running around on with bare feet. And Empire Zoysia lawns are that beautiful space in between, soft under foot, but tough enough to handle anything you can throw at them.

Or get in touch with us and we can help you choose which lawn is best for you.

Thank you and good bye 2021!

The whole team at Coastal Turf would like to thank you for coming with us on the journey that has been 2021!

It has been another wild and crazy year, full of lockdowns, lock outs and masks that hid our faces from each other. Thank God for the out doors!

2021 brought so many challenges right to our doors when we thought that we had jumped all the hurdles of 2020. Which meant that our homes become so much more than the place we lay our head. It become our everything. And in turn, our outside spaces took us back to nature.

Our lawns have become so much more than that piece of grass someone has to mow. Although who does not love the smell of a freshly mown lawn?

The soft green grasses of our lawns became places to meet friends, chat or people watch as we sit and relax. Places to send outside our children. A soft comforting sanctuary away from all the noise of COVID.

Our Team at Coastal Turf is so proud to have been able to produce beautiful turf grass to turn peoples houses into Homes.

Christmas is a time of family and a time to finally be able to catch up with family and friends on both sides of the border.

Our team is taking a break to help the grass grow stronger, healthier and greener from the 24th December to 9th January.

We will be back o the 10th to bring you green lush lawns.

From all the team we wish you a Merry Christmas, and a fantastic New Year. We are really looking forward to a less lock downed year in 2022, and look forward to seeing you and creating your new lawn

Green is Good, in so many ways.

Green is just one of those colours that makes you feel good when you see it. That is why a really lovely green lawn is so important to all of our lives. 

By having a beautiful green lawn right at your door step, means you always have that  comfort right there when you need it. 

Green is the colour of Go! Of Peace.  Of Hope, and nature. And according to the practice of colour therapy, green is the colour that invokes feeling of positivity, profitability, calmness and hope. It is the colour of healthy nature, and the colour that our brain tells us that everything is going to be “ok”! 

“The colour green is reassuring on a primitive level,” explains Karen Haller, a specialist in behavioural colour psychology and author of The Little Book Of Colour. “Early humans evolved to instinctively know that when they saw green, they’d be able to find food and water. (from Stylist magazine August 21) . And when our brain knows that our bodies will be nourished, it allows us to feel happy. 

It’s not only our eyes that want to see the Green to make us feel good, but also our bodies want to feel the Green. There is a technique called Grounding. Sounds weird, but it really just means walking with bare feet across the grass; to reconnect with the earth. According to Healthline “…Grounding, also called earthing, is a therapeutic technique that involves doing activities that “ground” or electrically reconnect you to the earth…One of the easiest ways to ground yourself to the earth is to walk barefoot. Whether this is on grass, sand, or even mud, allowing your skin to touch the natural ground can provide you with grounding energy.” 

Walking with bare feet across your lawn can help you feel calmer and happier

Although we have all moved into towns and cities, our bodies and minds are still longing for the full natural calming sensory experience of Green! 

The easiest, the best, the most convenient to all our busy lives, to give ourselves what we need, is to have a soft, Green lawn. Your lawn will allow you to see Green first thing in the morning, as you wake up and sip on your warm brew. Allowing you to have a positive outlook for the day.

At the moment with so many lock downs, and border issues, we are often unable to get out and about in nature to satisfy our need for Green. By having a Green lawn that you can walk across in  bare feet, or a soft Green calming place to sit on in the warming sun, your body can get its green fix. Your lawn is great place for calm relaxing times, as well as loud busy play. 

Getting outside and kicking a ball to each other, or throwing a toy for your 4 legged loved ones, gives you those wonderful good endorphins pumping through your body. 

Your lawn is not just the frame around your home to make it look pretty, it is also your grounding to nature. On elf the ways you can make yourself feel Good. Its your gift to yourself to ensure your mental and physical health needs are meet in the safety and comfort of your own home.

Its so easy to have a green space at your home to calm your mind and body. Get in touch with us on the farm, and we can arrange beautiful turf to come to your home to become your Green space.

Yes, we can still deliver amazing lawns to your door!

Well I don’t know about you, but my head is spinning with all the Covid Rules regulations and updates. Its hard to no if you are coming or going at the moment. We want to assure you that Yes! We can still deliver your new lawn right to your home.

Each day seems different and can be confusing and scary. Especially here in the “Border Zone”. Border Zone sounds almost like a Sci Fi TV show. And sometimes I think that with everything that is happening, I wouldn’t be surprised if a Martian just popped onto the farm in their UFO to have a look at some blue couch turf.

With the Qld and NSW premiers realising all the days “News” each morning, sometimes by 11.15am I am ready to move from tea and coffee to beer and wine. I haven’t been. Yet. But the kids are all home now…. And home schooling can be so much fun. Sometimes it can just be, hmm. Whats the right word? Hard? Twice on the first day of home schooling my 13 year old son tried to convince me that playing the Switch is actually his school work.

With NSW in lockdown, and Qld’s borders patrolled and “closed”, I have tried to work out the ins and outs of the Border Zone. After a rather extensive search on NSW and QLD government sites, chatting with some really helpful Police people at the border, crying and also laughing at the complexity of the systems these are the rules as we understand them, and how they affect your deliveries and pick ups from our farm. 

1) We can continue to bring you quality turf in Qld as well as NSW. Our drivers are able to cross the border into Qld and NSW. There are lengthy delay’s in border crossings. So please be patient with our delivery times. 

2) We will provide contact free services. All invoices and installation guides will be emailed through to you, and our drivers although they will talk on the phone to you, and smile and wave, they will not come within 1.5 meters of you to ensure your safety and ours. Our people will be wearing a very fancy Coastal Turf mask.

3) If you live in Qld, you can NOT come across the border to pick up your turf. But we can deliver to you. We will place your turf as close as possible to where you want to install your new lawn with our skid steer loaders.

4) If you live in NSW, you can still come and pick up at our farm. Or have one of our wonderful people drop your turf off to you. For pick ups at our farm, located near Cabarita Beach and Hastings Point NSW, we will load you where possible with our skid steer loaders, ensuring your turf is untouched as possible. For deliveries, we will place your turf as close as possible to where you want to install your new lawn with our skid steer loaders.

5) John, Paul, Mick, Sarah and I will still be available to assist you with any turf questions. 

6) We have Pacific Zoysia and Wintergreen Couch in abundant supply. Aussie Blue is available, but it is soft and tender. Pacific Buffalo stocks are very low. Sir Walter is out until October.

So don’t get lawn envy. When you are sitting at home, or at work, flicking through your Facebook, or watching the latest Instagram feed, don’t let those pictures of other peoples homes and lawns twinge envy bone. Embrace this time to make your hoe the best on the street. Take pictures of you and your enclosed family on your beautiful Coastal Turf lawn.

Our Aussie Blue Couch and Pacific Zoysia lawn

I have two favourite types of lawns. They are both soft under foot and easy to take care of. I love to take off my shoes after a long day at work, and walk bare foot across my lawn. The soft comforting leaves of my Aussie Blue Couch and Pacific Zoysia lawn are just perfect to take away all the stress of the day.

In some areas of my yard, there is all day sun. In this area we have the beautiful Aussie Blue Couch there. The Aussie loves to be in the sun all day. And as a True Blue Ozzie, it is drought tolerant, and is tough but comforting. When we walk, run play and fall over on the blue couch, we are always meet with the tenderness of the Aussie Blue.

Our 15 year old daughter has started AFL this year. Our Aussie Blue couch is a little bit away from our home, so it is the perfect place to kick the footy, run around with no shoes on, and have a beautiful soft place to learn how to tackle. It is quote daunting as a mother when catch a ball only to have my kids run at me to try and push me over. At the east the Aussie is soft to fall on. And never ever leaves me itchy.

The Aussie Blue also photos beautifully. Its dark colour really highlights homes and people. So it is a great place to make the kids all come together for a Family photo.

This is what happens when I ask 3 teenagers, a dog and a my Husband to sit on the grass for a photo. It always ends in stacks on!

Or attempt to get your family together for a family photo. Poor Marcus, who is at the bottom of this pile, tells me that it is very soft to be squished on. And don’t you just love my 19 year old half eyes closed face! Ahh the beauty of a family photo.

Because I love the dark rich colour and the softness of the Blue couch, on the shadier side of our home I really wanted something to match the Aussie. I know that the 4 hours of direct sunlight per day we get on that side was not enough to sustain a beautiful Aussie blue lawn. But is was perfect to have the Pacific Zoysia.

The colour is very similar, and the leaf is nearly as soft as the Aussie blue. But the Pacific Zoysia has the amazing ability to grow in much shadier areas, and still retain its softness under foot.

Our Pacific Zoysia is near the stairs into our yard. So it copes a fair amount of wear and tear from kids, and especially our dogs coming in and out. I am so impressed how the Zoysia holds up to the wear and tear of our busy family, with little love and care from us. After caring for other peoples lawns, we don’t want to do it when we come home. We just want to sit back and relax on the lawn.

Often our kids will “forget” to mow the lawn a couple of weeks in a row. Shocking I know! Teenagers not wanting to mow the lawn. The Zoysia in Winter only needs mowing every month. And Summer every 10-15 days. Which tends to fit my teenagers regime of when they “can” mow our lawn.

Pacific Zoysia often has a reputation of getting a red tinge on the tips of the leaf in winter. But we have never had this happen in the past 10 years we have lived here. And neither have friends that I have recommended the Pacific Zoysia to as well.

Neil’s lawn is still one of my favourites. The lush dark colour and softness underfoot just heavenly. He has a beautiful bouncy dog as well, and although she gives it a work out every day, it is still is soft, and lush.

For a soft lush dark coloured lawn, in shadier areas, the Pacific Zoysia is the best. The Pacific Zoysia has the unique ability to preform in the shade like buffalo, but have the softness and dark lush visual appeal of a couch lawn. It really is the best of both worlds.

The Zoysia can take a hammering from kids, dogs, and adults alike, and still look as good as the day you installed it. Zoysia not only requires a third of the mowing of any other turf varieties, also a third of the fertilising as well. Which is a win win again. So although it is not as soft as the blue, it really is a lot easier to keep looking amazing all year round.

I think they love it as much as we do!

And don’t forget you can have a touch and feel of all the turf grasses at our office. Get in contact with us to make an appointment.

Our sample plots at our office available to touch and feel the different grass types

Budget Buffalo Lawns

Are you in a budget? Do you have a shady area to become your new lawn? Do you love the thick look of a Sir Walter or Pacific buffalo lawn?

I think we may have just the grass for you ! At the moment we have a beautiful Buffalo turf available. One of our paddocks was under water during the last flood and has had some of the couch invade. So we will not sell this paddock out as an A grade product. But as a B grade.

This B grade buffalo turf is 95% beautiful Buffalo. But it may contain some couch in some of the slabs. In the shade the buffalo will thrive and take over. Killing off the couch in the process.

The slabs are thick and easy to handle, and the grass is green and lush. But for a fraction if the cost.

This is only available fo ra limited time. So get in touch quick and secure your beautiful buffalo lawn today or order yours online for delivery or pick up at our farm at 279 Round Mountain Road, Round Mountain NSW.
