Fresh rolls, placed where you need them
Soft Leaf Buffalo Grass Delivery That Saves You the Heavy Lifting
Turf is heavy, perishable and awkward to move, which is why delivery matters as much as the grass itself. Our trucks carry forklifts, so pallets of soft leaf buffalo are set down close to where you plan to lay them, and we take the empty pallets away.
We run deliveries six days a week. Your Sir Walter or Matilda is cut to order on our farm, usually within a day or two of booking, then loaded and driven straight to you. With the rolls arriving fresh, you can lay them that day and start watering in while the turf is at its best.
In short: Arrow Turf is a family-owned turf grower in the Hawkesbury delivering Sir Walter and Matilda soft leaf buffalo to homes and job sites throughout Greater Sydney. Delivery quotes depend on lawn size, distance from Cornwallis, site access and any installation, and most orders are cut and on the truck within a day or two.

Why Delivery Matters
Getting Soft Leaf Buffalo to Your Site in Prime Condition
Anyone laying a new lawn needs the turf on site at the right moment. Homeowners want it there once the soil is prepared, while landscapers and builders need it to line up with crews and handover dates. Fresh turf weighs roughly 15 to 20 kg per square metre, so even a small backyard means a lot of lifting. A delivery that arrives late, lands in the wrong spot or sits in the sun can undo weeks of careful preparation in a single afternoon.
We plan each delivery around your laying day. The turf is harvested to order, loaded on our forklift-equipped trucks and placed where you want it, with pallets taken away when we leave. Tell us about access when you book, such as narrow side gates or sloping driveways, so we can plan the drop. Not sure which grass to order yet? Start with a comparison of our turf varieties.

Buffalo Delivery Problems
Kerbside Drops, Heavy Pallets and Wilting Rolls: Delivery Problems We Solve
The way turf is delivered has a real effect on how well it establishes. Our delivery setup is designed around three common problems that we hear about from homeowners and landscapers alike.
Pallets dumped at the kerb. Hand-carrying hundreds of kilograms of turf from the street to the backyard is exhausting. Our trucks are fitted with forklifts, so we can usually set the pallets down much closer to the lawn area.
Disposing of empty pallets. Leftover pallets clutter the site and are a nuisance to get rid of. Our pallet recovery means we take them away, leaving you free to focus on laying the turf rather than cleaning up after the truck.
Turf drying out before it is laid. Rolls that wait too long lose moisture and start yellowing. Because we cut to order and deliver promptly, your soft leaf buffalo is fresh on arrival and ready to lay that day.
Buffalo Delivery Costs
How Much Does Soft Leaf Buffalo Grass Delivery Cost?
A delivered soft leaf buffalo order is priced on the turf itself plus what it takes to get it to you. Lawn area and variety set the base, while distance from our farm, site access and any extras such as underlay or installation shape the rest. Check the table for the main drivers.
| 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. |
Share your address, lawn size and access details, and we will quote your soft leaf buffalo delivery free of charge.
Farm to Doorstep
From Our Hawkesbury Paddocks to Your Front Gate
Your delivery begins at 104 Cornwallis Road, Cornwallis, where our family has grown turf on the Hawkesbury River for more than 45 years. We harvest Sir Walter and Matilda to match each booking, then load it onto our trucks while the rolls are fresh and moist. Nothing is cut until a delivery is booked.
From the farm we deliver six days a week across Greater Sydney and the Hawkesbury region, to homeowners, landscapers, builders and commercial sites alike. If you would rather collect, pickup from Cornwallis is also available, with our team helping to load by hand or machinery so you can get on the road quickly.
How Our Soft Leaf Buffalo Deliveries Run
Booking a delivery takes only a few minutes. The four steps below show what happens between your first call and the moment your new turf is down and watered in.
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.
Timing, Weather and Site Readiness: Getting Delivery Day Right
A smooth delivery also depends on what happens on your side, so here are a few things worth planning for.
Soil not ready when turf arrives. Your soft leaf buffalo should be laid the same day the truck drops it off. Have old grass removed, the area levelled and 80/20 underlay spread to about 100 to 150 mm before the truck turns up.
Laying buffalo on hot days. On warm days, start laying as soon as possible and water each section as you go. Fresh rolls handle heat far better when they are on the ground and moist.
Large areas and many joins. For big lawns, maxi rolls cover more ground with fewer joins, which speeds up laying. Ask about them when booking your delivery.
Too much buffalo to lay alone. If laying a full delivery yourself feels like too much, our installation crews can remove the old lawn, prepare the ground and lay the turf for you.
Frequently Asked Questions About Soft Leaf Buffalo Grass Delivery
How does your soft leaf buffalo grass delivery work?
Our soft leaf buffalo grass delivery starts with your booking. We cut Sir Walter or Matilda to order at our Cornwallis farm, load it onto a truck fitted with a forklift and place the pallets where you want them. We then take the pallets away, and you lay the turf that day.
Which days can soft leaf buffalo grass be delivered?
Soft leaf buffalo deliveries run six days a week. When you book, pick the day you plan to lay the turf, and we will harvest your order to suit that date so the rolls reach you fresh and ready to go down.
Can the forklift reach my backyard?
It depends on access. Our forklifts can usually place pallets close to the lawn area, but narrow gates, steps or soft ground may limit how far in we can go. Tell us about your site when booking, and we will plan the best drop point.
How much does a pallet of soft leaf buffalo weigh?
Fresh turf weighs roughly 15 to 20 kg per square metre, so a full pallet is very heavy. That is why forklift placement is so useful and why we recommend having helpers ready on delivery day if you are laying it yourself.
What should I do when my soft leaf buffalo grass delivery arrives?
Start laying straight away and water each section as you go, then water deeply once or twice a day for about three weeks. Your soft leaf buffalo grass delivery is cut fresh, so getting it on the ground quickly keeps it healthy, and our crews can lay it for you if you prefer.
Can soft leaf buffalo delivery include installation?
Yes. Our crews can remove your old lawn, level the area, spread turf underlay, lay the rolls and water them in. Booking soft leaf buffalo grass delivery and installation together means the turf and the team arrive on the same plan.
Is pickup cheaper than delivery?
Collecting from our farm avoids the delivery component of your quote. You order online or by phone, choose a pickup time and our team helps load your vehicle. Just remember that turf is heavy, so check your trailer or vehicle capacity first.
Where can I read more about delivery and laying?
Our turf delivery across Sydney page covers how we schedule drops, and the turf care guide explains watering and mowing after laying. You can also call 0490 779 707 with any questions about your soft leaf buffalo grass delivery.
