Experience you can see in the lawn
Sydney's Best Turf Supplier for More Than 45 Years
Plenty of businesses sell turf, but far fewer grow it, and fewer still have been doing it for over four decades on the doorstep of Sydney. That experience matters, because it shows in the density, colour and health of every roll.
Our family has farmed turf at Cornwallis for more than 45 years, supplying Sydney lawns through every kind of season. We know how each variety responds to the city’s hot summers, mild winters, clay and sandy soils and shaded yards. When you ask what suits your property, our answer is based on decades of growing and supplying, and your turf is harvested fresh once you’ve chosen.
In short: Arrow Turf is a family-owned grower on the Hawkesbury River with more than 45 years of experience supplying Sydney. We grow five premium varieties and match them to your sun, shade, soil and traffic. Price is driven by variety, area, roll format and supply method, and orders are cut fresh and usually ready within a day or two.

What Best Really Means
Judging the Best Turf Supplier in Sydney
Sydney homeowners and landscapers are spoiled for choice when it comes to turf, which makes it harder to know who to trust. The best supplier isn’t simply the one with the most varieties or the loudest advertising. It’s the one whose turf establishes quickly, stays healthy through a Sydney summer and suits the conditions in your yard. Getting that right avoids patchy lawns, wasted money and the frustration of turfing the same area twice.
We think quality shows in three places: the turf itself, the advice that comes with it and the way it’s supplied. We grow every roll on our own farm and harvest it to order, so it’s fresh when you receive it. We match the variety to your sun, shade, soil and foot traffic, and we’ll tell you if another grass would serve you better. Then you can collect, take delivery or book installation.

Sydney Lawn Tests
Sydney Summers, Shade and Clay: Where Quality Turf Proves Itself
Sydney puts lawns through some demanding conditions, and these three are where the difference between ordinary and quality turf becomes obvious within the first season or two.
Long, hot Sydney summers. Heat and dry spells test a lawn’s roots. Healthy, freshly cut turf laid on good underlay and watered deeply in its first weeks builds the root system it needs. Wintergreen couch and Kikuyu are especially drought tolerant once established, which makes them reliable picks for open, sunny Sydney blocks.
Shaded yards in leafy suburbs. Suburbs with mature trees and tall neighbouring homes leave many lawns in part shade. Sir Walter soft leaf buffalo is the variety we most often suggest for these yards, as it holds up better than sun-loving grasses.
Western clay that compacts. Clay soils in Western Sydney drain slowly and can compact. Quality turf on 100 to 150 mm of 80/20 underlay gives roots a better start than turf laid straight onto hard ground, and it helps water soak in rather than run off.
Sydney Price Drivers
How Much Does Turf From Sydney's Best Turf Supplier Cost?
Quality turf in Sydney is priced on a few clear factors. Variety matters most: Kikuyu costs least per square metre, while buffalo and premium couch sit higher. The total area, standard or maxi rolls and your choice of pickup, delivery or installation complete the quote.
| Price driver | How it affects your cost |
|---|---|
| Turf variety | Kikuyu is the most budget-friendly; soft leaf buffalo and premium couch cost more per m². |
| Quantity | Turf is priced per square metre, and larger orders can attract better rates. |
| Roll format | Maxi rolls suit big areas and are quoted separately from standard rolls. |
| Pickup, delivery or installation | Collecting avoids a delivery charge; delivery and laying are quoted on top. |

Cornwallis to Sydney Lawns
From Our Cornwallis Farm to Lawns Across Sydney
Our turf is grown at 104 Cornwallis Road, Cornwallis, in the Hawkesbury, on the north-western edge of Greater Sydney. For more than 45 years, our family has supplied Sydney homes and businesses from these paddocks, harvesting each order only once it’s confirmed.
Today we supply the Hills District, Western Sydney, the Inner West, the Northern Beaches, the Sutherland Shire and Macarthur, as well as the Blue Mountains, Wollongong and the Central Coast. By road, many Sydney suburbs sit roughly 45 minutes to 1.5 hours from us. You can collect from the farm, have turf delivered six days a week or book our crew to install it.
How We Help Sydney Customers Choose and Order
Choosing the right turf for a Sydney yard starts with understanding the site. These four steps show how we take you from first questions to a fresh lawn ready to lay.
1. Measure your area: work out the square metres you need, or send us your measurements.
2. Choose your variety: pick from our five turf varieties, or ask which suits your site.
3. Place your order: call or order online and choose pickup, delivery or installation.
4. Receive fresh turf: your turf is cut to order and ready within a day or two.
Signs You've Found a Quality Sydney Turf Supplier
When comparing suppliers across Sydney, these four signs point to turf and service you can rely on for years, not just on delivery day.
They grow their own turf. Growers control how the turf is fed, watered, mowed and harvested. Ask where the turf comes from and how soon it’s cut before you receive it. Freshness is one of the clearest signs of quality.
They know Sydney conditions. A good supplier will ask about shade, soil and how the lawn is used, then explain which variety suits your part of Sydney, from coastal sand to western clay.
They offer flexible supply options. Look for pickup, delivery and installation choices, so you can pick what suits your budget, vehicle and schedule. A supplier with all three can adapt as your project changes.
They stay with you after the sale. Clear laying and watering advice matters as much as the turf. Every order from us comes with simple aftercare guidance, and you can call us with questions as the lawn settles in.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Best Turf Supplier in Sydney
What makes Arrow Turf the best turf supplier in Sydney for my lawn?
As a turf grower supplying Sydney for more than 45 years, we combine homegrown turf with practical advice. We match the variety to your sun, shade, soil and traffic, harvest it fresh to order and supply it by pickup, delivery or installation. That’s what we believe makes the best turf supplier in Sydney.
How long has Arrow Turf been growing turf?
Our family has been growing turf on the Hawkesbury River for more than 45 years. In that time we’ve supplied homeowners, landscapers, builders, schools and councils across Sydney and learned how each variety performs in local conditions.
Which turf is best for a shady Sydney yard?
Sir Walter soft leaf buffalo handles part shade better than most turf, making it a popular choice for Sydney yards with mature trees or tall neighbouring homes. Kikuyu and couch prefer full sun and can thin out in heavy shade.
Which turf handles Sydney's summer heat best?
Wintergreen couch and Kikuyu are both drought tolerant and thrive in full sun, so they cope well with hot Sydney summers once established. Soft leaf buffalo also handles dry spells while offering more shade tolerance.
Does the best turf supplier in Sydney deliver everywhere?
Our trucks travel from the Hawkesbury to most of Greater Sydney six days a week, from the western suburbs and Macarthur through to the Sutherland Shire, and on to Wollongong and the Central Coast. Tell us your suburb and the best turf supplier in Sydney for your project will confirm delivery when you call.
Can I collect turf from your farm instead?
Yes. Order online or by phone and choose a pickup time at our Cornwallis farm. Read about turf pickup near Sydney, or see our turf delivery across Sydney if you’d rather we bring it to you.
How do I know how much turf to buy?
Measure every lawn area in metres, then multiply length by width and total the results. Add a small extra allowance for trimming around edges and curves. If your yard is an unusual shape, send us your measurements and we’ll help confirm the quantity.
Do you supply landscapers and builders in Sydney?
Yes. Many Sydney landscapers, builders and developers order from us regularly, and the best turf supplier in Sydney for trade work is one that keeps to their schedule. We plan supply around their project timelines, offer maxi rolls for large areas and deliver with forklift-equipped trucks for close placement on site.
