Sydney's grower-direct buffalo specialists
A Sydney Soft Leaf Buffalo Grass Company With Its Own Farm
Sydney has no shortage of turf sellers, but many buy their rolls in from elsewhere. Arrow Turf is different: our family has farmed turf at Cornwallis on the Hawkesbury River for more than 45 years, and every Sir Walter and Matilda roll we supply to Sydney comes from our own paddocks.
Being the grower lets us cut each order fresh and plan the timing around your project, whether that is a Parramatta backyard or a new estate in the north-west. Orders are usually ready within a day or two, with pickup, forklift delivery or full installation by our experienced crews.
In short: Arrow Turf is a family-owned turf company with its own farm at Cornwallis, supplying Sir Walter and Matilda soft leaf buffalo across Sydney for more than 45 years. Quotes are shaped by lawn area, your suburb’s distance from the farm, site access and installation, and orders are typically harvested within a day or two.

Picking a Sydney Company
Why Sydney Customers Trust a Family-Run Grower
Sydney lawns face a demanding mix: shaded blocks between closely built homes, sandy coastal ground, heavy western clays and hot, dry summers. A company that understands these conditions can steer you toward the right buffalo and give practical preparation advice. For homeowners, builders and property managers across the city, that knowledge, combined with fresh turf and dependable timing, is what separates a lawn that thrives from one that needs replacing in a year. Choosing the right company is the first step toward a lawn that lasts.
We run every Sydney job from our own farm, so the people advising you are the people who grow the grass. We help you choose Sir Walter or Matilda, cut the turf to order and deliver it six days a week on forklift trucks, or have it ready for collection at Cornwallis. Our crews can also install it. To see how buffalo compares with other grasses, explore our Sydney turf varieties range.

Sydney Site Realities
Tight Blocks, Shade and Western Sydney Clay: What a Local Buffalo Company Plans For
Every part of Sydney brings its own lawn challenges. These three come up again and again when we talk with homeowners, builders and landscapers across the city, from the coast to the mountains.
Small, shaded urban blocks. Inner West terraces and newer estates often have lawns squeezed tightly between walls, fences and outdoor living areas. Soft leaf buffalo copes with part shade better than most turf types, so it suits these compact Sydney yards where every square metre of green counts.
Heavy clay in the west. Many Western Sydney suburbs sit on clay that drains slowly. We advise laying over an 80/20 underlay at about 100 to 150 mm to give the buffalo a healthy root zone and more even establishment.
Weeks without rain in summer. Sydney summers can bring long dry spells. Soft leaf buffalo is tough enough to handle them once established, provided it gets deep watering through the first three weeks.
Sydney Pricing Factors
How Much Does a Soft Leaf Buffalo Grass Company Charge in Sydney?
Sydney quotes for soft leaf buffalo depend on lawn size and variety, then on logistics: how far your suburb is from our Cornwallis farm, how easy it is to access the site and whether you want installation. Preparation like old lawn removal or underlay adds to the total. The table explains each factor.
| Price driver | How it affects your cost |
|---|---|
| Variety | Soft leaf buffalo sits in our premium price range per m². |
| Lawn area | Turf is priced per square metre, and larger orders can attract better rates. |
| Pickup, delivery or installation | Collecting from our farm avoids a delivery charge; delivery and laying are quoted on top. |
| Extras | Turf underlay, lawn starter fertiliser or water crystals add to the total. |

Serving All Sydney
From the Hawkesbury to Every Corner of Sydney
Our company is based on the farm at 104 Cornwallis Road, Cornwallis, in the Hawkesbury, where all our soft leaf buffalo is grown. From there we supply the Hills District, Western Sydney, the Inner West, the Northern Beaches and the Sutherland Shire.
Our trucks also travel to Macarthur, the Blue Mountains, Wollongong and the Central Coast. Many Sydney suburbs sit roughly 45 minutes to 1.5 hours from Cornwallis by road, close enough for freshly harvested turf to reach you in good condition and go down on the day it arrives. Customers can also collect directly from the farm with our help loading.
How Our Company Looks After Sydney Buffalo Orders
Working with one family-run company from start to finish keeps things simple for Sydney customers. Here is how we take your order from first enquiry and measuring to a finished, watered-in buffalo lawn.
1. Measure your lawn: work out the square metres you need, or send us your measurements to double-check.
2. Choose how you receive it: collect from our farm, book delivery six days a week, or have our crew install it.
3. We cut it fresh: your turf is harvested to order and usually ready within a day or two.
4. Lay and water in: lay it on the day it arrives and water deeply for the first few weeks.
Builder Handovers, Rental Turnarounds and Strata Grounds: Sydney Jobs We Handle
Beyond family backyards, Sydney’s busy property market creates its own steady demand for reliable buffalo turf from a company that can deliver on time.
New homes awaiting handover. Builders across Sydney’s growth areas need turf laid on schedule. We harvest to order, so we can align cutting with your handover date and have fresh rolls on site when the ground is ready.
Rentals and properties for sale. Property managers and real estate agents use a fresh lawn to lift presentation. Our crews can remove tired grass and install soft leaf buffalo quickly between tenancies or before an open home.
Shared grounds and commercial landscapes. Townhouse complexes and business premises often have shaded common areas. Soft leaf buffalo’s shade tolerance and low mowing needs make these spaces easier to maintain.
Schools and council spaces. We supply schools and councils with turf for grounds and parks, with forklift delivery that places pallets where crews need them and pallet recovery once the turf is down.
