This week Tony the Turfman and his crew installed a beautiful new Empire Zoysia lawn at Ocean Shores. The gentleman wanted a thinner leafed soft cushioning lawn, without the fuss and other, and the ability to withstand a little shade. And he choose the Empire Zoysia. Ethel the Turfdog agreed with his choice. It was a wonderful lawn for a lie down after a quick inspection of the property. And Tony the Turfman and his boys worked hard to install the beautiful Zoysia slabs into a Empire Zoysia Lawn.

AS you can see, team work is the best idea for lawn installations, with someone carting the turf to the right places, someone lining up and installing the slabs, and the most skilled and coordinated person using the cane knife to cut into the edges and shape the slabs into a beautiful lawn.

Have a great ANZAC weekend. For those marching, thank you.

We are booked out this weekend, but are happy to take your orders for the following week from Tuesday on delivery.

Well its that time of year again that when you google Turf, you can get  whole lot more than just some farms come up. Tomorrow is the Great Melbourne Cup. The race that stops nation. Puts women into high heals and hats, and mens into south in the heat of the day. Its like a wedding, only without your relatives you HAVE to invite. And you can bet legally at the Races. This year the Coastal Turf team and the Tony the Turfman Crew will be at Murwillumbah Jockey Club celebrating the TURF.

I am really really terrible at picking a winner at the races. I like the pretty looking ones, or any jockey that wears green, blue or pink. Turns out there are heaps of them. But I do like to don a pair of heels and aerovate the lawn. Thats right Ladies you are doing a public service wearing your high heels on the lawn. By putting those little spikes down into the grass. You are actually opening up the air pathways and creating better pathway for the micro organisms and bugs and works to travel through, improving the health of the lawn. So if your husband says get off the lawn, get him to give me a ring. I promise not to give him a horse racing tip; But I will explain how you are helping the lawn’s health, and how he should be wonderful to you about it.

You local Turf Club needs us ladies to go and help with the health of their lawn. Support them with your heels. And then the next time your lawn is looking a little unhealthy and compacted, have an old fashioned Garden Party with the high heels to fix your lawns health as well. I will endorse the party as for being for investment reasons. A well cared for lawn adds value to your home!

Happy Race day all of you!

What are your long weekend plans? Are you going camping out into the wild yonder? Are you going to visit Grandma? Or are you lazing by the Pool? To those lucky ones you are probably installing a new lawn? And the luckier ones are sitting back and enjoying their Coastal Turf lawn. Like a Gentleman today who asked if he should sit with a stubby in one hand and a hose in the other all weekend for his newly installed turf. I thought that sounded like a lovely idea. Or are you going to be closely glued to a TV screen on Sunday to cheer the Cowboys home to a Grand Final NRL victory? Thats is where we will be. We do have a small problem in our house this weekend though, because we have a couple of Bronco supporters and then more Cowboys supporters. So Sunday is the day of fun and games at our place.

This year we are off to the Sunshine Coast to celebrate with some friends and family. And like some of you may have seen on other posts, we always have the traditional Grand Final Half Time mini game. This year is no different. All the Dads and some Mums get our there with the very excited kids and play a mini game of football. It is usually more funny, than fun. Which is awesome! And in previous years, we have played on the Soft Blue couch lawn or our Palmetto Patch at our place and had a lovely comforting surface to fall back on. Ahhh. This year we will be on foreign soil. An Away game if you will. I just hope that their lawn is as awesome as ours, and that the falling (not so much tackling. The beer usually helps with that) is as soft and comforting. Although they do have a Qld Blue Couch Lawn. So fingers crossed. I hope your half time shenanigans as as fun as ours!

But before you go and wrestle on the turf, preferably a Coastal Turf turfed lawn, why not go and have a drive around the new estate at Miramar in Kingscliff/Casuarina and find the new Surf Life Savings Raffle house. Tony the Turfman installed the lawn and is maintaining its beauty to make your raffle ticket purchase worth more money long term! So support the Surf Living Saving people, be envious of the blue lawn, but buy a ticket to support a great cause.

Ant then next week call and have us bring your house some beautiful Blue to install at your place, so you can be envious no more. Just content with a beautiful lawn (and hopefully a Cowboys win!!!!!!)

Chat soon, but not early on Monday

Well this week I have been from the normal old job of creating, installing and providing people with new lawns, to being apart of the Tweed Sustainability Expo to show people how a gorgeous green lawn can not only add value to your home, but value to your life as well. It was a great Saturday and it gave me the opportunity to chat and learn from so many new people. Especially those interested in grass, its benefits and how we can help them have the best lawn you can. Tony the Turfman and I had a great time. Thanks to everyone who came and had a chat.

Then on Monday I went down to Brunswick Heads to help Jo add the “skin” to her sculpture for the Brunswick Sculpture walk to be held on the October Long weekend. It was a great experience to watch my Beautiful Blue be turned into something other than a lawn. I truly hope that in the future I get another chance to build another Turf Sculpture with Jo or another Artist. (For those, like me whoa re less refined at art, the grass wall is a resting wall, or a seat to lean against and look out at the creek. It is also a reflection of the corners that the river takes in Brunswick heads. I was impressed. I can grow beautiful grass and help attach it to things, but I couldn’t have come up with the subject.)

I can not wait to see what the rest of the week will bring to my life? What exciting new project do you have at  your place we can help you with?

  What are your doing this fine Saturday? Are you installing new lawns? Or are you thinking about what is the best lawn for me? If you are head down to the TWeed Sustainability Expo at the Murwillumbah Civic Center this morning and come and tough and feel the grass, get expert advice from myself and Tony the Turfman on the installation of your new turf for the perfect lawn.  

My goodness it has been extremely hot! Even the kids are hot. Mostly my kids run around not noticing the heat, but even my little ones are complaining about the heat at the moment. There has been many a little trip to the creek this weekend. But I think the best time we had this weekend was installing a new lawn. It meant that there were sprinklers going left right and centre. And of course we all accidentally walked through the water. I can really see how the light watering in the morning and night that I recommend you do after you have installed new turf is so refreshing to the lawn.

As weird as it sounds I really do like installing new lawns, even working with my husband! (Like many if you I can only work inclose contact with my husband for short bursts. Its better that way). Tony the Turfman and I helped some lovely people in Cabarita Beach transform their dirt into amazing new beautiful lawn! And managed to get hot and then cool in the process. And I definitely earned our knock off beer in the process!

As you can see, turning someones lawn from dirt and dusk and yuck to Green lush Beautiful Blue Couch is amazing. It transforms a house into a home!

There house takes out my award for Greener on their Side of the Fence this week! It looked amazing, felt fantastic under our bare feet, and the kids couldn’t stop running around on it. We put them on watering duty! Turned out that was one of the Best things I have ever done!

A Coastal Turf and Tony the Turfman we don’t just provide beautiful new lawns and green areas for you to love and enjoy, but having a family and living in our Tweed and Gold Coast community, we also really like to be part of the Community.

Our kids are now playing Oze tag in Kingscliff and we were all very excited to see the Tweed Coast Raiders shirts with the Tony the Turfman logo on the back being worn by the older kids as the amazed us with their skills. It definitely made my 6 year old son drop his jaw in awe.

Go Team TURFMAN!

That’s the best part of being a our area is that we are recognizable by our community. I think this  makes us more accountable with our A grade Quality turf, ensuring it really is the top quality, and our service is carried out like we were talking and delivering to family. With care and understanding.

So if you do see any of us out, say Hi. Let us know how your lawn is going, and on a a Monday at Oze Tag chat away to us, ask tips and advice and we will see what we can do. Also a little cheer for the Turfman shirts as well as our little kids running around!

September is a month full of fun and excitement here at Coastal Turf. Being a Father Daughter family company it is always REALLY REALLY bad to forget about Fathers Day. Needless to say, being to Amazing daughter that I am, I have always remembered, so far, and made a fuss of Dad. Because really without Dad (with a lot of help from Mum) there wouldn’t be me. And then without, them and Myself and Tony the Turfman there wouldn’t be our amazing children. So really we have a lot to be thankful to Dad for.

This Fathers Day, (this Sunday the 7th September for those who don;t work so closely with their Dad and don’t have reminders an your phone) we are giving Dad a rest. I said to him he could have all Sunday off and I will even make him his favourite dinner. Rissoles and Gravy with Mash. He did say he always gets Sunday off. I then responded by saying “well, see how much I love and appreciate you!” hehe

When I was chatting with a lovely Gentleman in Pottsville yesterday, He has ordered his turf for Saturday, so when all his Loving family comes to see him on Sunday, they can all install his new lawn for him. What a FANTASTIC idea I said. Then one of his children rang through and paid for his new lawn. What a wonderful family and a lovely way to spend a Sunday. This Gentleman was saying that he will have 3 generations together again, and he expects two generations will be able to install the turf. He was going to give his wife the day off, and his sons and daughter, and grandchildren are going to install the lawn. He will  BBQ for them, and he said as a Father of course he has the right to yell instructions from his comfy chair. I asked his Son about what he thought would happen on Sunday, he said “…it will be hard to stop Dad getting out an helping. It will be good fun…”

And thats what Fathers Day is about. Having good fun with your Dad, showing him how much you appreciate all he does and has done for you and your family. And maybe like the Pottsville Gentleman, your family can show your lawn with Grass. Install them a lush new fresh lawn on Sunday. Have a BBQ lunch and sit back and enjoy the Green.

Happy Fathers Day to all you Dads. I know we will all be having fun eating Rissoles.

Last week I sent my husband and his hard working boys out to install a gorgeous green soft robust Palmetto Lawn in Seaside city. But being so close to the sea how will grass survive with the salty air and the sandy soils I hear you think. (yes, being a mum I know what people are thinking now). Well that is the extreme beauty of the Palmetto buffalo. It is amazing how effortlessly it works on the seemingly never grow lawn areas. Like areas where the sea blows salt across your lawn, and the soil has little to no nutrients and, watering is something no one wants to do. Palmetto Buffalo thrives and grows aggressively. And of course when you have the Professionals like Tony the Turfman from Coastal Turf install your lawn then of course it is going to look amazing and grow into a beautiful lawn. Aha the serenity on the beach side kicking back on a palmetto lawn. NOICE
