Greenlees Park Couch Turf for Sale Direct from the Farm

Homes in Ebenezer and Kurmond are a short trip from our farm, which makes buying turf direct especially practical. Many properties here are on larger rural blocks with long driveways, sheds and open lawns that get plenty of sun. Buying from a grower close by means your couch spends less time on the road and goes into the ground while it is still fresh and moist. It also makes a farm pick-up an easy half-day job.

Our sales process is designed to be easy for homeowners. Send us your measurements and your preferred laying date, and we quote the turf, delivery and any laying. Once you are happy, we book the harvest and cut your Greenlees Park the day it is needed. You can collect it yourself or have it delivered Monday to Saturday. For more on how we grow the variety, see our Greenlees Park Couch grass supplier page, then come back with your order.

Ebenezer properties often sit well back from the road, with gravel driveways, gates and soft ground near the river. These details matter when you buy turf, because pallets of fresh couch are heavy. Fresh turf typically weighs around 15 to 25 kg per square metre, depending on moisture, so a full pallet is a serious load for a truck on a narrow or wet driveway.

Wet weather adds a second concern. After rain, lawns and paddock tracks can be too soft for a delivery vehicle, and the turf may need to be dropped closer to the road.

When you place your order, let us know about gates, slopes, overhead wires and where you would like the pallets placed. We plan the drop-off around your access and the forecast, and we will be in touch if conditions might affect your delivery day. Having the pallets placed near the laying area saves a lot of barrow work, which helps you get every roll down on the same day.

A few practical facts make buying turf easier. Fresh turf typically weighs around 15 to 25 kg per square metre, so check what your car, ute or trailer can safely carry before collecting from the farm.

Turf is a living product and should be laid on the day it arrives, especially in hot weather. That is why we cut to order instead of keeping stock on hand. Prepare your ground before your turf arrives: loosen any compacted soil, spread underlay soil and level the surface.

Fresh turf typically puts down roots within about two weeks in warm conditions. Keep it well watered for the first few weeks, and remember that couch slows down and can turn straw-coloured in frosty winters.

Kurmond is close enough that many locals prefer to collect their turf from the farm themselves. That works well with a little planning. On hot summer days, rolled turf heats up quickly inside a closed vehicle or on an uncovered trailer, and it can start to yellow if it is left stacked for hours before laying.

Winding roads and steeper driveways on the ridge are the other consideration. A heavily loaded trailer needs careful handling, and unloading on a slope takes longer than on flat ground.

We suggest collecting early in the day, especially on a Saturday when pick-up runs from 7am to 12pm, and heading straight home to lay. Have your ground prepared before you leave, keep the load covered and shaded, and do not overload your vehicle. If the load is too large for a trailer, we can deliver on a pallet instead, which is often the simpler choice for a full backyard.
