Buy Sir Walter Turf Online from Our Windsor Farm

Busy households in Richmond and Kurrajong often plan a new lawn in the evening, once work and school runs are done. That is exactly when an online form is handy. You can measure the yard on the weekend, jot down the numbers and send them through whenever it suits you, without waiting for business hours. For Kurrajong properties up in the hills, it also saves a trip down to the flats just to ask a question.

When your form or email arrives, someone from our farm reads it, checks the area makes sense and replies with a price, delivery or pick-up options and a proposed harvest date. Nothing is charged online, and nothing is cut until you confirm. Once you are happy, we harvest your Sir Walter fresh at Windsor and send it out Monday to Saturday.

Ordering online works best when the numbers are right, and Kurrajong’s hilly blocks make measuring a little trickier than a flat suburban yard. Lawns there often wrap around houses on several levels, follow curved retaining walls or run down a slope towards the bush. Measuring straight across from above can understate the true surface area of a steep bank.

The simplest approach is to split the lawn into rectangles and triangles, measure each one along the ground rather than in the air, and add them together. Curved edges can be measured as a series of short straight lengths. Add a small allowance for trimming around beds and paths so you are not left a few rolls short on laying day.

If you are unsure, send us a rough sketch with your measurements, or a note about the slope and garden layout. We will check that the total looks sensible before confirming the order, and point out anything that seems off.

A few practical facts will help you plan an online order. Fresh turf typically weighs around 15 to 25 kg per square metre, depending on moisture, so a modest backyard can add up to a heavy load. If you are collecting, check what your trailer or vehicle can safely carry.

We cut to order and never stockpile, so the harvest date you confirm is the day your Sir Walter leaves the paddock. Fresh turf should be laid on the day it arrives, especially in hot weather, which means your ground should be prepared before that date. In warm weather, fresh turf usually starts rooting within about two weeks, as long as it is watered regularly for the first few weeks.

Richmond can be one of the hottest spots in the district through summer, and turf left sitting on a pallet in that heat deteriorates quickly. Rolled turf can’t feed itself properly, so on a hot day the inner rolls can warm up and start to yellow within hours. That makes timing the most important part of an online order.

When you choose your preferred date on the form, pick a day when you, or our laying team, can put the whole order down straight away. Early starts help, as does having the soil prepared, levelled and lightly moistened the evening before. Avoid booking a delivery for a day you are at work, unless someone else will be there to lay it.

Watering is the other half of the job. New Sir Walter laid in summer needs a thorough soak right after laying and regular watering for the first few weeks. Our watering guide explains how much to give it.
