Between the beach and lagoon?
Farm-to-Site Turf Delivery for Narrabeen Homes
Narrabeen is a relaxed beachside suburb squeezed between the ocean and the lagoon, with older beach cottages, family homes and low-rise apartments. Blocks are often compact, streets are busy in summer, and many front yards open straight onto the footpath.
Our delivery service is built for exactly that kind of site. Turf is cut on the farm to suit your chosen date and travels straight to Narrabeen on a truck fitted with its own forklift. The driver places the pallets on your driveway or as close to the lawn as access allows, then takes the empty pallets away. All that’s left is laying and watering in your new lawn.
In short: Arrow Turf is a family-owned turf farm on the Hawkesbury River that grows its own lawn and delivers it to Narrabeen homes, apartments and landscapers. Lawn size, variety and access are the main price drivers. Every order is cut fresh, and turf is usually ready within a day or two.

Beachside Turf Deliveries
Turf Delivery for Narrabeen Beach Homes
Beachside living shapes what a Narrabeen lawn needs. Sandy coastal soils drain quickly, salt spray drifts in from the beach and onshore winds can dry out exposed yards. Some lagoon-side streets sit on low-lying ground that stays damp after rain. Older beach cottages are being renovated, family homes are getting new backyards, and apartment blocks need their shared lawns refreshed. Narrow streets, holiday traffic and limited kerbside parking near the beach all affect where a delivery truck can pull up.
We plan every Narrabeen drop with those conditions in mind. Let us know where the truck can park, how wide your side access is and where you’d like the pallets placed. Our driver uses the forklift to set your turf on firm, level ground, and the empty pallets go back on the truck. If the soil is prepared and ready, you can lay as soon as it lands.

Coastal Soils
Salt Spray and Sandy Soil: What Narrabeen Lawns Contend With
Narrabeen’s position between the ocean and the lagoon gives it a mild climate, but its sandy soils and salt-laden air make new lawns work a little harder to establish.
Salt spray from the beach. Homes close to the beach cop salt carried on sea breezes, which can stress newly laid turf. Laying on the day of delivery and keeping the lawn well watered while roots establish gives it the best start possible.
Sandy soil that dries fast. Coastal sand drains quickly and holds few nutrients. Spreading 100–150 mm of 80/20 turf underlay before your delivery arrives helps retain moisture around the roots and supports healthier growth.
Keeping up with watering. On sandy ground, a new lawn can dry out within a day in warm weather. Water deeply once or twice a day for roughly the first three weeks and check beneath the rolls to make sure moisture is getting through.

Turf Delivery to Narrabeen, Explained Step by Step
Getting turf to a beachside home is easy with a bit of planning. These four steps cover how we organise your Narrabeen delivery, from measuring up to laying your fresh lawn.
1. Measure and choose: measure your lawn area and choose a variety, or ask us to recommend one for your site.
2. Book your delivery: call or order online and pick a delivery day that suits your project.
3. We cut and deliver: your turf is harvested fresh, loaded and delivered, then placed by forklift where you need it.
4. Lay and water: lay the turf on the day it arrives and water it in thoroughly; we take the empty pallets away.
Coastal Winds and Lagoon-Side Ground in Narrabeen
Apart from salt and sand, wind exposure and Narrabeen’s low-lying lagoon-side streets raise a few more points to plan for.
Wind drying exposed lawns. Onshore winds can dry new turf quickly, especially on exposed front yards facing the beach. Lay the most exposed areas first and water each section in as soon as it’s down.
Damp ground near the lagoon. Some lagoon-side properties sit on low-lying ground that stays wet after rain. Let us know if your site is soft, so we can agree on a firm spot for the forklift that won’t leave ruts.
Beach cottages with tight access. Older cottages often have narrow side paths and no driveway. We’ll place pallets as close to the gate as is safe, so carrying rolls through is a short job.
Busy summer streets. Beach traffic and parked cars can make it hard for a truck to stop in summer. Booking ahead and telling us the best time and place to unload keeps the delivery smooth.

Do you provide turf delivery in Narrabeen?
Yes. We provide turf delivery in Narrabeen six days a week, bringing turf harvested fresh on our Cornwallis farm to homes, beach cottages and apartment blocks. Our forklift places pallets where access allows, and we take the empty pallets away.
How long does turf take to get to Narrabeen?

What turf varieties can I get delivered?
We grow and deliver five varieties: Sir Walter and Matilda soft leaf buffalo, Kikuyu, Wintergreen Couch and Greenlees Park Couch. Kikuyu loves sun and repairs quickly, while Wintergreen is drought tolerant with a fine blade. Ask us which suits your yard.
How should I prepare sandy soil for new turf?
Remove the old lawn and weeds, level the area and spread about 100–150 mm of 80/20 turf underlay over the sand. This helps hold water and nutrients around the roots, giving your new lawn a much better chance of establishing.
Is summer a good time for turf delivery in Narrabeen?
Summer works well for turf delivery in Narrabeen, as long as you’re ready to lay on arrival and keep up the watering. Book a few days ahead, as beach streets get busy, and plan to start laying early in the day.
What if my lagoon-side block is soggy?
Let us know when you book. If the ground is too soft for the forklift, we’ll agree on a firmer drop point nearby. Good underlay and grading also help a new lawn cope with low-lying, damp conditions.
