Got a big block to cover?
Acreage-Ready Turf Delivery for Terrey Hills
Terrey Hills is a semi-rural plateau of acreage and large-block homes, surrounded by bushland. Lawns here can be broad and set well back from the road, with gravel driveways, gates and garden beds in between.
Delivery suits these properties because our trucks carry their own forklift. Rather than leaving pallets at the letterbox, the driver can usually move them along the driveway to a firm, level spot near the area you’re turfing. For really big lawns, maxi rolls cover more ground with fewer joins. Every order is cut on our farm to suit your delivery day, so it arrives fresh and ready to lay.
In short: Arrow Turf has been growing turf on the Hawkesbury River for over 45 years and delivers to Terrey Hills acreage, homes and commercial sites. Price comes down to total area, variety, roll type and access on your property. Orders are harvested fresh and are generally ready within a day or two.

Big Blocks, Bushland Edges
Turf Delivery for Terrey Hills Acreage Owners
Large blocks are the norm in Terrey Hills, and that changes how turf delivery works. A single lawn can run to hundreds of square metres, which is a lot of weight to move by hand from the street. Properties often have long driveways, livestock or garden gates, and soft verges along bushland edges. Sandstone and laterite soils are nutrient-poor, and tall gums shade parts of many yards, so planning both the variety and the preparation matters before the truck arrives. Builders and landscapers working on new homes and renovations also need turf to land on schedule.
We ask about gate widths, driveway surfaces, slopes and overhead branches before your order is cut. On the day, our driver chooses a safe route for the forklift and places pallets as close to the job as conditions allow, then loads the empties back onto the truck. Maxi rolls are available for wide, open areas. Explore our Sydney turf delivery service for more details.

Plateau Soils
Sandstone and Laterite Soils: Terrey Hills Lawn Conditions
Terrey Hills sits on an elevated plateau where sandstone-derived and laterite soils are common. It’s cooler than the coast, but those soils bring their own challenges for a new lawn.
Nutrient-poor sandstone ground. Sandstone soils hold little organic matter, so new turf can struggle to root deeply without help. Spreading 100–150 mm of 80/20 turf underlay over the area before delivery gives roots a richer layer to grow into.
Patchy, uneven surfaces. Laterite and rocky patches can leave a block lumpy and hard to level. Taking time to rake and level the underlay means your rolls sit flat and knit together evenly, without gaps or dry edges.
Moisture that disappears quickly. Lighter soils can dry out between waterings, especially on breezy days on the plateau. Water deeply once or twice a day for the first three weeks, and check that moisture is getting through to the soil beneath the rolls.

Delivery Area
Turf Delivery Across Terrey Hills and the Plateau
Terrey Hills (NSW 2084) is in the Northern Beaches Council area, bordered by Garigal National Park and surrounding bushland. We deliver to acreage properties and homes across the suburb, from streets near the Booralie Road shops to properties around Northern Beaches Christian School, along with nurseries and landscape projects in the area.
Our trucks also travel on to neighbouring Ingleside, St Ives, Davidson, Frenchs Forest and Cottage Point. Turf leaves our farm at 104 Cornwallis Road, Cornwallis, and reaches Terrey Hills in around 1 hour via the M2 and Mona Vale Road. We cut every order to match your delivery date, so it arrives fresh.
How Turf Delivery Works on Terrey Hills Properties
Larger properties need a clear plan for where the truck can go and where the turf should land. Our four-step process covers it, from measuring your lawn areas to watering in the last roll.
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.
Tall Gums and Big Lawns: Another Terrey Hills Challenge
Beyond the soil, the scale of Terrey Hills blocks and their bushland setting raise a few more points to plan for before the truck arrives.
Shade under tall eucalypts. Tall gums can shade large parts of a lawn for much of the day. Kikuyu and our couch varieties love sun, so for shadier areas talk to us about your light levels before choosing.
Laying a large area in time. Big lawns take a full day or more to lay. Make sure you have enough helpers lined up, and consider maxi rolls, which cover more ground with fewer joins.
Soft verges and bushland edges. Grassed or sandy verges near bushland can be too soft for a loaded truck. We’ll agree on a firm area to park and unload so nothing bogs or damages your property.
Gates and long driveways. Narrow gates and winding gravel driveways can limit how far the forklift can travel. Measuring gate widths before delivery helps us plan the best spot for the pallets.
Frequently Asked Questions About Turf Delivery in Terrey Hills
Can I get turf delivery in Terrey Hills?
Yes. Arrow Turf provides turf delivery in Terrey Hills six days a week, with fresh turf cut on our Hawkesbury farm. Our trucks carry a forklift to place pallets where you need them on your property, and we take the empty pallets away.
Can the forklift get onto my acreage?
Usually, yes, provided there’s a firm, reasonably level path for it. Let us know about gate widths, slopes, soft ground and the distance from the road. Our driver will choose the safest route and set the pallets as close to your lawn area as conditions allow.
Do you have bigger rolls for large lawns?
We supply maxi rolls for large areas. They cover more ground with fewer joins, which can speed up laying on a big Terrey Hills lawn. Handling them usually needs machinery, so tell us how you plan to lay the turf when you order.
How long does turf delivery to Terrey Hills take?
Turf is cut to order and usually ready within a day or two, and the drive from our Cornwallis farm to Terrey Hills is around 1 hour via the M2 and Mona Vale Road. Book a few days ahead to secure the date you want.
What turf grows well on sandstone soil?
Good preparation matters more than variety alone. Spread 100–150 mm of 80/20 turf underlay so roots have a fertile layer, then choose a variety that suits your sun and use. Kikuyu loves sun, while Sir Walter and Matilda are soft leaf buffalo lawns.
Do nurseries and landscapers order turf delivery in Terrey Hills?
Yes. Landscapers and garden businesses are among our regular turf delivery customers in Terrey Hills, alongside homeowners and builders. Trade customers can arrange drops to different job sites and nominate the timing that fits their schedule.
How much does fresh turf weigh?
Fresh turf weighs roughly 15–20 kg per square metre, so a large acreage lawn can mean several tonnes of turf. That’s why placing pallets close to the work area with a forklift makes such a difference on bigger Terrey Hills properties.
What other turf services can I book in Terrey Hills?
You can collect your order with turf pickup for Terrey Hills, compare varieties and roll sizes through turf supplies in Terrey Hills, or hand the whole project to our crews with turf installation in Terrey Hills.
