Turf Delivery Service Company for Richmond and Kurrajong

Richmond and Kurrajong may be neighbours, but they ask very different things of a turf delivery. Around Richmond, many lawns sit on flatter ground, from established town blocks to newer estate homes and larger rural lots, where trucks can usually get close and pallets go straight onto the driveway. Up in Kurrajong, homes are often on sloping blocks set among tall trees, reached by winding roads and steep driveways, and lawns there may get far less sun through the day.

Our service is built to handle both. We start by asking about your access, your slope and your shade, then suggest a variety and a delivery format to match, whether that is a single pallet, a split drop or supply and lay by our own team. For a closer look at how we run deliveries from the farm, see our turf delivery company page, or tell us about your property and we will plan it with you.

Access is the biggest variable in delivering turf to the Kurrajong hills. Many properties are reached by narrow, winding roads, and driveways can be steep, gravelled or lined with trees that limit where a truck can stop. A pallet that can be placed right beside the lawn on a flat Richmond block may have to be dropped at the top of a Kurrajong driveway instead.

Slope also changes the laying job. Turf on a bank needs a well-prepared base, and every roll has to be carried and placed by hand, which takes longer when the drop point is a long way from the lawn. Fresh turf typically weighs around 15 to 25 kg per square metre, so moving it uphill adds real effort.

When you book, we ask where a truck can safely stop and turn, how far the turf needs to travel and whether help with laying would make sense. Planning this up front avoids surprises on delivery day.

Some customers prefer to collect turf themselves, and our farm on Cornwallis Road, Windsor is open for pick-up Monday to Friday from 8am to 4.30pm and Saturday from 7am to 12pm. Collection works well for small patch-ups, but the weight adds up quickly. Fresh turf typically weighs around 15 to 25 kg per square metre, depending on moisture, so a 30 square metre order can weigh somewhere between 450 and 750 kg.

For anything larger, delivery is usually the safer option. Bigger jobs arrive on pallets, Monday to Saturday, and are cut to order so the turf is fresh when it lands. Either way, plan to lay the turf on the day you receive it, especially in hot weather, and have your soil loosened, topped with underlay and levelled beforehand.

Light and temperature vary sharply between Richmond and Kurrajong, and both affect which turf should be on the truck. Kurrajong’s tall trees and hillside aspects mean many lawns get only part of the day in direct sun. Matilda and Sir Walter thrive with as little as 3 to 4 hours of direct sun, and Shademaster is up to 85% shade tolerant, so they are often the better choice for leafy blocks.

Down on the Richmond flats, cold air settles on winter nights and frosts are common. Couch and Kikuyu can go dormant and turn straw-coloured through a frosty winter, while soft leaf buffalo holds its colour better. In summer the same flats can be very hot, which suits sun-loving Kikuyu and couch where there is little shade and plenty of wear.

Telling us about your sun, shade and season when you book means the turf we deliver is already suited to the spot it is going into.
