What turf goes where?

Feeling overwhelmed about choosing the right turf for your patch?

Here at Coolabah Turf we have made it as easy as 1 2 3!

We pride ourselves on being the experts when it comes to knowing what turf goes where, and to help with the overwhelm we’ve created an easy 3-step guide when it comes to selecting, measuring and ordering turf.

Keeping it simple really is key to a seamless and stress-free process from enquiry through to installation and we like to begin by asking some simple questions as a starting point with our Coolabah Turf Test.

Step 1: The Coolabah Turf Test

The Coolabah Turf Test guarantees you are choosing a lawn variety to best suit your lifestyle needs.

While any turf supplied in an instant roll out form will instantly transform your yard, there are a few different characteristics you will need to consider to ensure it meets your long-term expectations.

Our Turf Test is a fool-proof guide to help you choose the right turf for your yard, your maintenance expectations and environmental conditions, and asks questions relating to family and pet requirements, garden beds and shaded areas, and also plans for lawn care after installation. Our Ruby (pictured above) loves cooling off on her Sir Walter DNA Certified Turf!

Take the Coolabah Turf Test here.

A word on site preparation:

Quality site preparation is a critical step in ensuring the best long term result for any turf landscape investment. The first step is to make sure there is at least 100-150mm of high quality sandy loam. This helps enable a deep root system to establish and makes lawns less reliant on irrigation and fertiliser.

Step 2: Measuring

Once you’ve chosen your turf variety from our range of Sir Grange, TifTuf, Sir Walter DNA Certified Turf, Nullarbor Couch or Eureka Premium VG Kikuyu, you’ll need to work out how much you need for instant beauty in your backyard.

It’s pretty simple to work out the square meterage (m²) of your area and we have some helpful examples here to assist in the process.

We are also only a phone call away if you need further assistance with the measuring process on (03) 4301 4112.

Step 3: Place Your Order 

It’s never been easier to order your instant turf at Coolabah, which you can do over the phone with our friendly, expert customer service team or online – anywhere and at anytime. Our team (and our website) is an absolute font of knowledge, with super helpful information to ensure this part of the process IS as easy as 1 2 3!

For example if you’re ordering our number #1 selling turf for home lawn areas, Sir Walter DNA Certified Turf, our professional and friendly team will let you know that it is perfect for residential yards with kids or dogs, or if you are looking for a low maintenance feature lawn around garden beds, courtyards or pools.

Instant turf is what we do and it’s our job to know this stuff!

We also provide information across all our turf varieties to ensure you WILL choose the best lawn for your space, including best features, ideal usage, growth habit, colour, availability, toughness, water usage and the all-important maintenance expectations.

Find out more about Sir Walter DNA Certified Turf and our full range of turf varieties here.

So if you’re worried about tackling a turf project at your place, fear not and get on-board with our simple 3-steps to instant beauty process to ensure you’ll have the best looking lawn in the street in no time at all.
