Heavy clay in your backyard?
Turf Supplies for Narellan's Clay Soils and Family Yards
Narellan is the commercial hub of the Camden area, surrounded by older brick homes, newer townhouse developments and growing estates. Most of these yards sit on heavy Cumberland Plain clay over shale, which drains slowly, and the climate swings from hot, dry summers to cold mornings that can bring frost to low-lying areas.
We help Narellan homeowners, builders and landscapers choose a variety suited to these conditions and order the right quantity for their space. Kikuyu and Wintergreen Couch handle sun and heat well, while soft leaf buffalo suits shadier spots. Each order is harvested fresh on our family farm.
In short: Arrow Turf is a family-owned grower with more than 45 years on the Hawkesbury, supplying fresh-cut turf to Narellan homeowners, builders and landscapers. Pricing depends on variety, square metres, roll size and pickup or delivery. We cut every order to suit your timing, and most are ready within one to two days.

Grass for Macarthur Homes
Turf Supplies for Narellan Homes and Estates
Narellan’s mix of older homes, townhouses and new estates means lawns come in every shape and size. What most have in common is heavy clay that drains slowly, leaving soggy patches after rain and hard, cracked ground in dry spells. Summers in the Macarthur region are hot and dry, and cold winter mornings can bring frost to lower parts of the suburb. A lawn that’s well matched to these conditions establishes faster, looks better through the seasons and needs far less rescue work over the years.
We keep our advice practical and local. Tell us about your soil, sun and how the lawn will be used, and we’ll recommend the best fit from our five farm-grown varieties. Builders and developers working on nearby estates can order larger volumes timed to their schedules, while homeowners get the same fresh-cut turf in smaller quantities.

Narellan Clay Soils
Heavy Clay That Drains Slowly: Narellan's Lawn Challenge
The heavy clay soils that sit under most Narellan yards are the biggest factor in how well a new lawn performs. These are the problems we see most often, along with practical ways to manage them before and after your turf goes down.
Water pooling after rain. Clay soils drain slowly, so rainwater can sit on the surface for days. Spreading an 80/20 turf underlay about 100–150 mm deep improves drainage and gives roots a better-aerated bed to grow into.
Hard ground that roots can’t penetrate. Compacted clay sets hard in dry weather, making it difficult for new roots to push down. Loosening the surface before laying gives turf a much better chance of establishing deep, healthy roots.
Uneven settling over time. Clay can shrink and swell with moisture changes, leaving dips and bumps. Careful levelling before laying, and topping up low spots once the lawn has settled, keeps the surface even.

Hot Summers and Frosty Mornings Around Narellan
Beyond clay, the Macarthur climate puts Narellan lawns through two very different tests each year, and choosing the right turf for your block helps with both.
Dry Narellan summer stretches. Hot, dry stretches quickly stress new turf. Lay it on the day it arrives, water deeply straight away and keep up deep watering once or twice daily for about three weeks.
Sunny yards with little shade. Many newer homes have young gardens with few trees. Kikuyu loves full sun and repairs quickly, while Wintergreen Couch is drought tolerant and forms a thick mat.
Frost in lower Narellan pockets. Cold winter mornings can bring frost to lower parts of Narellan. Laying turf in the warmer months gives roots time to establish before winter arrives.
Mowing too short in summer. Cutting new turf too low in hot weather stresses it and exposes the soil. Give it two to three weeks to root in, then mow with the blades raised high for the first few cuts.
Frequently Asked Questions About Turf Supplies in Narellan
Do you supply turf in Narellan?
Yes. We provide turf supplies to Narellan homes, townhouses, builders and landscapers, all cut fresh on our family farm in Cornwallis. You can collect your order from the farm or have it delivered by trucks fitted with forklifts and pallet recovery.
What turf grows best in Narellan clay soil?
Most of our varieties will perform well on clay if the soil is prepared properly. Loosen compacted ground and spread an 80/20 underlay before laying. For sunny yards, Kikuyu and Wintergreen Couch are strong choices, while soft leaf buffalo suits shade.
How do I fix drainage problems before laying turf?
Break up compacted clay, remove any rubble and spread an 80/20 turf underlay about 100–150 mm deep. Level the surface with a gentle fall away from the house so water doesn’t pool against walls or in low spots.

How much turf should I order for a Narellan backyard?
Work out each lawn section by multiplying its length by its width, then add the sections together. Subtract paths and garden beds, and add a small margin for trimming. Send us your measurements if you’d like us to double-check.
When is the best time to lay turf in Narellan?
Turf can be laid for much of the year, but the warmer months give roots the best chance to establish before winter frosts. In summer, be ready to water deeply and often during the first three weeks.
