Renewing a grand front lawn?
Turf Delivery Built Around Strathfield's Leafy Streets
Strathfield is known for Federation and inter-war homes on large blocks, many with deep front lawns that set off the house. Replacing one of those lawns means a lot of turf, and it needs to arrive fresh and land in the right place.
Our trucks carry their own forklift, so pallets can be set on the driveway or close to the lawn rather than on the footpath under the street trees. We harvest every order to suit its delivery date and bring it straight from the farm. Once the turf is down, the driver loads the empty pallets back on and your street is left as tidy as we found it.
In short: Arrow Turf is a family-owned grower at Cornwallis with over 45 years of experience, delivering fresh turf to Strathfield homes and schools. Your price depends on lawn area, chosen variety and access to the drop point. We cut to order, and most deliveries can be ready within a day or two.

Homes, Schools and Grounds
Turf Delivery for Strathfield Homes and Schools
Strathfield’s large, established gardens and generous front lawns are a big part of its character, but mature street trees, heritage fences and heavy clay soils can make lawn renewal more involved. Large blocks often need several pallets of turf, while side access to the backyard may be narrow. Around the station, high-density apartments have changed traffic and parking, so a truck can’t always pull up wherever it likes. Schools and institutions in the area also need turf delivered at times that won’t disrupt students.
We plan each Strathfield delivery around your property. Let us know where you’d like the pallets, whether there’s a heritage fence or gate to work around, and the best time for the truck to arrive, especially if your street is busy. The forklift places your turf on firm ground near the lawn, and we take the empty pallets with us. Learn more about our turf delivery service across Sydney.

Shade and Clay
Mature Trees and Clay Soil: What Strathfield Lawns Are Up Against
Strathfield’s leafy streets and established gardens are lovely to look at, but the shade they cast and the clay beneath them both affect how a new lawn performs. A little planning goes a long way.
Shade from mature trees. Large trees can shade a lawn for much of the day, especially in winter. Kikuyu and our couch varieties love sun, so tell us how much light your lawn gets and we’ll help you choose a suitable variety.
Heavy clay drainage. Clay over shale drains slowly and can stay soggy after rain. Spreading 100–150 mm of 80/20 turf underlay and grading the surface so water runs away from the house helps your new lawn establish.
Root competition near trees. Tree roots compete with grass for water and nutrients. Keeping the new turf well watered, deeply once or twice a day for the first three weeks, gives it a fair chance to get established.
What Affects Price
How Much Is Turf Delivery to Strathfield?
The cost of turf delivery to Strathfield depends on the total square metres, the variety you pick and access at your property. A deep front lawn on a large block needs more turf than a courtyard, and drop points near busy station streets may need extra planning. Here’s what goes into a typical quote.
| 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 | Your 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. |

Grand Front Lawns and Busy Station Streets in Strathfield
Apart from shade and clay, Strathfield’s large lawns and changing streetscape bring a few delivery considerations of their own that are worth planning for.
Large areas to cover. Big front and back lawns can need several pallets of turf. Having them placed close to the work area by forklift saves time and effort, and maxi rolls are an option for very large spaces.
Heritage fences and gates. Many homes have decorative fences and gates that limit where a forklift can go. We’ll plan placement to avoid damaging them and keep pallets on firm ground.
Parking near the station. Streets near Strathfield station can be congested. Telling us the best time and place for the truck to stop helps keep the delivery quick and safe.
Keeping the garden neat. Established gardens are often carefully maintained. We’ll set the pallets away from delicate beds where possible and take them away once the turf is unloaded.

How far is Strathfield from your farm?
Our turf farm at Cornwallis is around 1 hour from Strathfield via the M7 and M4. We cut your turf to suit the delivery date, so it reaches you fresh rather than after sitting in a storage yard.
Which turf suits a shady Strathfield yard?
It depends on how many hours of direct sun your lawn gets. Kikuyu and couch varieties love sun, while Sir Walter and Matilda are soft leaf buffalo options. Call us with details of your yard and we’ll help you weigh them up.
What preparation is needed on clay soil?
Remove the old lawn, loosen compacted clay, level the area and spread about 100–150 mm of 80/20 turf underlay. Grade it so water drains away from the house, then lay your turf the day it arrives.
How much turf do I need for a large front lawn?
Measure each section in metres, multiply length by width and add the areas together. Allow a little extra for cutting around paths and garden beds. If you’re unsure, send us your measurements and we’ll help you check the quantity before you order.
Can I book turf delivery in Strathfield for a weekend?
Our trucks run six days a week, so a weekend turf delivery to Strathfield is often possible. Book a few days ahead and make sure the soil is prepared so you can start laying as soon as the turf arrives.
