Family-run and close to Sydney
A Local, Family-Run Turf Delivery Business in Sydney
When you call us, you’re talking to the family that grows the turf. Our farm sits on the Hawkesbury River, on Sydney’s north-western fringe, which means your order doesn’t come from interstate or sit in a city depot before it reaches you.
That local connection shapes how we work. We know the difference between a clay backyard in Western Sydney and a sandy one near the coast, and we can recommend a variety that will cope. Turf is cut to suit your delivery day, carried on a forklift-equipped truck and placed close to your lawn area, with the empty pallets collected before we leave.
In short: Arrow Turf is a local, family-run turf farm in Cornwallis that has grown turf for 45+ years and delivers across Sydney. We offer practical advice, fresh-cut turf and forklift placement. Price depends on variety, area, distance and access, and orders are typically harvested and ready within a day or two.

Local Knowledge, Family Care
Your Local Turf Delivery Business Team Serving Sydney
Sydney homeowners, landscapers and builders want turf that arrives fresh and suits local conditions. The city’s soils and microclimates vary a lot: heavy clay in parts of Western Sydney, sandy soils near the beaches and shaded yards under established trees on the North Shore. A supplier who understands those differences can steer you towards turf that settles in quickly, while a local grower can deliver it without a long journey that drains moisture from the rolls. Both matter if you want a lawn that greens up fast.
As a family business close to the city, we combine local knowledge with the care of people whose name is on every order. We help you choose between soft leaf buffalo, Kikuyu and couch, confirm your quantities and book a delivery day from the six we run each week. Our trucks place pallets with a forklift and take them away afterwards. For booking and coverage, visit our main Sydney turf delivery page.

Sydney Soils We Know
Clay, Sand and Shade: The Sydney Conditions Local Advice Helps With
Sydney’s lawns face very different conditions depending on the suburb, and even neighbouring streets can vary. Local advice helps you choose a turf that suits your patch of the city and prepare the ground properly.
Slow-draining clay out west. Many backyards in Western Sydney and Macarthur sit on clay that drains slowly and can crack in summer. Spreading 100 to 150 mm of 80/20 turf underlay improves drainage, and hardy varieties such as Kikuyu cope well in these sunny, open blocks.
Quick-drying coastal sands. Around the Northern Beaches, the Sutherland Shire and other coastal areas, sandy soils drain fast and dry out quickly. Drought-tolerant grasses and consistent early watering help new turf root in.
Tall trees on leafy blocks. Leafy suburbs on the North Shore and in the Hills District often have large trees and tall fences. Sir Walter soft leaf buffalo handles part shade better than sun-loving Kikuyu or couch.
Local Delivery Business Costs
How Much Does Turf From a Local Delivery Business Cost in Sydney?
Buying from a local, family-run grower keeps pricing clear. Your total depends on the variety and square metres, plus how far your Sydney property is from our Cornwallis farm and how easily the truck can reach the drop point. Extras such as underlay can be added to the same delivery.
| 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. |
| Order size | Turf is priced per square metre, and larger orders can attract better rates. |
| Delivery location and access | Distance from our farm and how easily the truck can reach your drop point. |
| Extras | Turf underlay, lawn starter fertiliser or water crystals added to your load. |

Close to Sydney
A Hawkesbury Grower Delivering Right Across Sydney
Our farm at 104 Cornwallis Road, Cornwallis, sits on the Hawkesbury River near Windsor and Richmond, on the north-western edge of Greater Sydney. From here, our trucks reach the Hills District and Western Sydney quickly, and travel on to the Inner West, the Northern Beaches, the Sutherland Shire and Macarthur.
Our delivery business also covers the Blue Mountains, Wollongong and the Central Coast. Many Sydney suburbs are roughly 45 minutes to 1.5 hours away by road, so turf cut on the farm for your delivery day is still fresh when it’s placed on your property. If you’re unsure whether we cover your street, give us a call and we’ll confirm.

1. Measure and choose: measure your lawn area and choose a variety, or ask us for advice.
2. Book your delivery: call or order online and pick a delivery day.
3. We cut and deliver: your turf is harvested fresh and placed by forklift where you need it.
4. Lay and water: lay the turf on the day it arrives and water it in; we take the pallets away.
Why Local Growing Matters for Sydney Lawns
Choosing a grower close to Sydney brings practical benefits for both the turf and the people laying it, and these four stand out.
Shorter time on the truck. Turf loses condition the longer it stays rolled. Delivering from the Hawkesbury keeps travel time to most Sydney suburbs relatively short, so rolls are still moist when they land.
Turf grown in similar conditions. Our turf grows through the same hot summers and mild winters that Sydney lawns face, so it’s already suited to the local climate and settles in without a shock.
Advice from people who know the area. We’ve supplied homes across Sydney’s regions for years, from clay soils in the west to sandy coastal blocks. That experience helps us recommend a variety and preparation that suit your site.
Easy to reach when you need us. As a family business, we’re easy to talk to. Call us on 0490 779 707 with questions before or after your delivery.
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Sydney Turf Delivery Business
Is your turf delivery business local to Sydney?
Yes. Our family-run turf delivery business is based at Cornwallis in the Hawkesbury, on the north-western edge of Greater Sydney. We grow our own turf there and deliver it across Sydney six days a week, usually within a short drive of the farm.
Who runs Arrow Turf?
Our Sydney turf delivery business is family-owned and operated, and the family has grown turf on the Hawkesbury River for more than 45 years. The same people who grow the turf help you choose a variety, plan your order and organise delivery.
Which turf suits clay soil in Western Sydney?
Kikuyu is a hardy, sun-loving option that copes well on open Western Sydney blocks. Whatever variety you choose, spread 100 to 150 mm of 80/20 turf underlay over clay to improve drainage and give the roots a good start.
What turf works near the beach in Sydney?
Sandy coastal soils drain quickly, so drought-tolerant varieties such as Wintergreen couch or Kikuyu are good options in full sun. Water deeply once or twice a day for the first three weeks to help the turf root into the sand.
How far is your farm from Sydney suburbs?
Many Sydney suburbs are roughly 45 minutes to 1.5 hours from our farm by road. Areas such as the Hills District and Western Sydney are closer, while the Northern Beaches, Sutherland Shire and Wollongong take a little longer.
Can our turf delivery business in Sydney help builders?
Our Sydney turf delivery business regularly supplies builders, developers and landscapers. We book deliveries around project timelines, place pallets by forklift close to the work area and collect empty pallets so the site stays clear.
Can I collect instead of booking delivery?
Yes. If you’d prefer to drive out to the Hawkesbury, you can arrange turf pickup from our farm. We also offer turf installation across Sydney if you’d prefer the whole job handled from soil to sprinkler.
What should I do once the turf is laid?
Soak the new lawn deeply as you lay each section, then keep the soil moist with watering once or twice a day for about three weeks. Hold off on mowing for two to three weeks and start on a high setting.
