Town cottage or valley acreage?
On-Time Turf Delivery Across Picton
Picton is a historic country town, with heritage cottages near the centre, established homes on generous blocks and rural-residential acreage stretching out across the valley. Each of those properties needs turf delivered a little differently.
We keep it simple by planning around your site. Your order is cut on the farm to suit your delivery day and loaded onto a truck with its own forklift. In town, the driver can set the pallets on your driveway or close to the side gate. On acreage, the forklift can often carry them further onto the property. We take the empty pallets away when we leave.
In short: Arrow Turf is a family-run turf farm at Cornwallis that grows its own turf and delivers it to Picton homes, acreage and builders. What you’ll pay depends on square metres, the variety and site access. Turf is harvested to order and generally ready within a day or two of booking.

Wollondilly Turf Delivery
Turf Delivery Picton Homeowners Can Rely On
Picton sits in a valley along Stonequarry Creek, with clay and shale soils, warm summers and cold, frost-prone winter mornings. Properties range from heritage cottages on narrow town lots to large blocks and acreage on the outskirts, so no two deliveries are quite the same. Heritage streets can be tight for trucks, while acreage owners may have long driveways and big lawns to cover. Heavy clay that drains slowly means preparation matters, and turf should be laid as soon as it arrives.
We’ll ask a few questions before your turf is cut: how big the area is, how the truck can reach your property and where you’d like the pallets placed. On the day, the forklift sets the turf on firm ground near your lawn and we take the empty pallets away. For large areas, maxi rolls help reduce joins.

- Turf cut fresh for your delivery day: we harvest your order to suit your delivery date, so it arrives cool, moist and ready to lay.
- Forklift placement on site: our trucks are fitted with forklifts, so pallets can be set down close to where you’ll be laying.
- Pallet recovery: once your turf is unloaded, we take the empty pallets away, leaving nothing behind to clean up.

- Variety and quantity advice: we’ll help you choose the right turf and confirm how many square metres to order, with a small allowance for trimming.
- Laying and watering guidance: simple instructions on soil prep, laying and first-weeks watering come with every delivery.
Valley Frost
Frost-Prone Valley Lawns: Picton's Winter Challenge
Picton’s valley setting along Stonequarry Creek means cold air settles on winter mornings, bringing frequent frosts. Combined with clay and shale soils, that affects how new turf establishes, particularly through the cooler months of the year.
Frost settling in low areas. Cold air pools in the valley, so low-lying lawns can be hit harder by frost than nearby slopes. Choosing your timing and variety carefully, and talking it through with us, helps set realistic expectations for winter colour.
Slow growth in cold soil. Root growth slows in cold ground, so turf laid in winter takes longer to knit in. Lay it the day it arrives, keep it moist without waterlogging and avoid heavy foot traffic until it settles.
Heavy clay holding water. Clay soils drain slowly and stay cold and wet in winter. Spreading 100–150 mm of 80/20 turf underlay improves drainage and gives roots a better environment to grow into.

Acreage and Heritage Streets: Delivery Planning in Picton
Beyond the frost, Picton’s mix of historic town lots and large rural blocks shapes how turf reaches each lawn, and a few details are worth sorting early.
Narrow heritage streets. Older streets near the town centre can be narrow, with limited room for a truck to stop. Let us know about parking and the best approach so the delivery is quick and safe.
Large lawns on acreage. Rural-residential properties can have very big lawn areas. Maxi rolls cover more ground with fewer joins, and the forklift can often place pallets well onto the property.
Unsealed driveways after rain. Gravel and dirt driveways can soften in wet weather. Telling us about the surface helps us plan a safe route and a firm spot to unload.
Small cottage gardens. Heritage cottages often have compact yards with narrow side access. We’ll place pallets as close to the gate as is safe, keeping the carry short.
