Grower, not a middleman
A Soft Leaf Buffalo Grass Company That Grows Its Own
Plenty of businesses sell buffalo turf, but far fewer grow it. Arrow Turf has been farming turf on the Hawkesbury River for more than 45 years, and the same family still runs the operation. When you order from us, you are dealing directly with the people who planted, maintained and harvested your lawn.
That matters because turf is a living product. We cut Sir Walter and Matilda soft leaf buffalo to order, so it is not sitting on pallets waiting for a buyer. You can pick up from the farm, book delivery or ask our crews to install it, and we help you match the variety to your yard.
In short: Arrow Turf is a family-owned grower with more than 45 years on our Cornwallis farm, supplying Sir Walter and Matilda soft leaf buffalo throughout Greater Sydney. Price depends on lawn size, chosen variety, delivery distance and any installation, and because we harvest to order, most jobs are ready within a day or two.

Why the Grower Matters
Buying Buffalo Turf Straight From the Farm
Homeowners, landscapers and builders all want the same thing from a turf company: a healthy product that turns up when promised and establishes without fuss. Buying from a business that grows its own removes extra handling and guesswork. You can ask how the turf was grown, when it will be cut and which variety will handle your conditions, and get a direct answer from people who work the paddocks every day. That kind of clarity is hard to find when turf passes through several hands.
Our approach is to keep the chain short. We grow, harvest and load on our own farm, then either hand the turf to you at pickup or deliver it on trucks fitted with forklifts and pallet recovery. For larger jobs, our experienced crews handle old lawn removal, levelling, underlay and laying. To see what we grow beyond buffalo, check out our complete list of turf varieties.

Common Buying Pitfalls
Tired Rolls, Mixed Advice and Missed Dates: What Buying Direct Avoids
Many disappointing lawns trace back to how the turf was sourced rather than the grass itself. Buying straight from the grower helps you sidestep three familiar problems that can spoil an otherwise well-planned job.
Turf that has sat around too long. Rolls left stacked for days can yellow and dry out before they reach the ground. We harvest to order, so your soft leaf buffalo is cut close to delivery or pickup and goes down in prime condition.
Advice from people who never grew it. Choosing between Sir Walter and Matilda is easier with input from someone who knows both varieties in the paddock. Our family team can explain how each handles shade, wear and mowing.
Unclear timing on your laying day. Prepared soil waiting on a late delivery is a headache for everyone. Because we control harvesting and transport ourselves, we can give you a clear date and plan the cut around it, so your soil and your turf are ready together.
Grower-Direct Buffalo Pricing
How Much Does Soft Leaf Buffalo From a Grower Cost?
Buying direct from a grower keeps things transparent, but every quote still depends on a few variables. The area you are turfing comes first, then the variety, how far we travel, whether you collect from the farm and whether you want installation included. The table below breaks these down.
| 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. |

Our Buffalo Turf Farm
Inside the Hawkesbury Farm Behind Our Buffalo Turf
Our turf grows on river flats at 104 Cornwallis Road, Cornwallis, close to Windsor and Richmond in the Hawkesbury. For over 45 years the family has prepared, maintained and harvested these paddocks, and every soft leaf buffalo order is cut fresh rather than pulled from storage. Knowing the ground this well helps us produce healthy, even rolls season after season.
From the farm we supply homeowners, businesses, landscapers, builders, developers, schools and councils across Greater Sydney and the Hawkesbury region. Collect from the farm on a time you choose, or let our forklift-equipped trucks bring the pallets to your site six days a week.
How Our Company Handles Your Buffalo Order
From the first conversation to the moment the rolls are on your lawn, one family business looks after your order. These four steps show how that works in practice for homeowners and trade customers alike.
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.
Commercial Jobs, Repeat Projects and Accountability: Why Businesses Choose a Grower
Trade and commercial customers face a different set of pressures, and a grower-run company handles these well.
Landscapers needing consistent product. When you lay turf for clients week after week, consistency protects your reputation. Growing our own Sir Walter and Matilda means we know where each order comes from and how it has been looked after.
Builders working to handover dates. New homes and developments often need turf laid in a tight window. Harvesting to order lets us line up cutting with your schedule so the lawn is fresh when the site is ready.
Property managers and agents preparing listings. A soft, green lawn helps a property present well. We can supply and install for rental and sale preparation across Greater Sydney with minimal fuss.
Someone to call when you have questions. Dealing directly with a family-run company means the people answering the phone are the ones growing the grass, so questions about care, timing or variety get practical answers.
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Soft Leaf Buffalo Grass Company
Why choose a soft leaf buffalo grass company that grows its own turf?
A soft leaf buffalo grass company that grows its own turf can cut each order fresh, explain exactly how it was grown and control timing from paddock to pallet. At Arrow Turf, our family has farmed turf at Cornwallis for more than 45 years, so you get fresher rolls and direct advice.
Which soft leaf buffalo varieties do you grow?
We supply Sir Walter and Matilda soft leaf buffalo. Matilda is Australian-bred with finer stems, while Sir Walter is a popular soft leaf buffalo with broad, soft blades.

How quickly can your company have my buffalo turf ready?
Because we harvest to order, your turf is usually ready within a day or two. For pickup, let us know the day before if you want to collect the next day. For delivery, we book a date that suits your laying plans, six days a week.

Our experienced crews offer full installation for residential and commercial projects. That covers removing the old lawn, levelling, spreading turf underlay, laying the rolls and watering them in, so your new buffalo lawn is set up properly from the start.
What makes soft leaf buffalo lower maintenance than other grasses?
Soft leaf buffalo grows more slowly than couch or Kikuyu, so it needs mowing less often. It also copes with part shade better than most turf types and handles everyday family use, which keeps upkeep manageable for busy households.
