Building a lawn by the lagoon?
Beachside Turf Supplies Chosen for Narrabeen
Narrabeen has a relaxed coastal feel, with older beach cottages, family homes and low-rise apartments sitting between the ocean and Narrabeen Lagoon. Lawns here grow in sandy soils that drain quickly, and salt spray and coastal wind can be tough on grass, particularly on blocks closest to the beach.
Some properties also sit on lower ground near the lagoon, where conditions can be quite different from the sandy flats. We grow five varieties on our own farm and can explain how each suits your position, sun and use. Every order is cut fresh and ready within a day or two, and we’ll help you work out exactly how much you need.
In short: Arrow Turf is a family-owned turf grower with over 45 years at Cornwallis on the Hawkesbury River. We supply fresh buffalo, Kikuyu and couch to Narrabeen homes, apartment blocks and landscapers. Variety, area and access drive the cost, and orders are harvested to order and ready within a day or two.

Narrabeen's Trusted Turf Supplier
Trusted Turf Supplies for Narrabeen Homes
Lawns in Narrabeen need to cope with sand, salt and wind. Sandy coastal soils let water drain straight through, salt spray settles on grass near the beach, and onshore winds can dry out new turf quickly. At the same time, families want a lawn that handles beach gear, outdoor showers and kids running in from the surf. Some properties near the lagoon also have lower-lying ground that behaves differently, so a careful choice of variety matters.
We’ll ask how close you are to the beach or lagoon, how exposed your lawn is and how it’s used, then recommend from our five varieties. We can add 80/20 turf underlay to help sandy soil hold moisture and calculate quantities for anything from a cottage backyard to an apartment block’s common lawn. Homeowners, landscapers and strata managers all order from us, and every pallet is cut fresh on our farm. Learn about our turf supplies across all of Sydney.

Beach and Lagoon Conditions
Salt Spray and Sandy Soil Between Beach and Lagoon
Living between the beach and the lagoon means coastal conditions are part of everyday life for Narrabeen lawns, and they shape how new turf establishes.
Salt on exposed Narrabeen blocks. Salt carried on the breeze can stress grass on exposed beachside blocks. We’ll ask how close your lawn is to the water and how sheltered it is, then point you towards the variety from our range that’s the best fit for that position. Sheltered backyards usually allow more choice.
Coastal sand low in nutrients. Sandy coastal soils drain quickly and hold few nutrients. Spreading 100–150 mm of 80/20 turf underlay before laying improves moisture retention and gives new roots a richer base to grow into while the turf knits together.
Establishing turf in sea breezes. Coastal winds can dry fresh turf quickly. Lay it on arrival and water deeply once or twice a day for about three weeks, checking edges and exposed corners closely, especially in the first week and particularly on windy afternoons when the sea breeze picks up.

Supplying Narrabeen's Neighbours
Fresh Turf for Narrabeen and the Northern Beaches
Narrabeen sits within Northern Beaches Council and has the postcode NSW 2101. Narrabeen Lagoon and the Narrabeen Lagoon Trail are among the area’s best-loved features, Pittwater Road runs through the suburb, and Jamieson Park sits on the lagoon’s edge. The suburb stretches from beach cottages near the sand to family homes on quieter streets.
We also supply turf to Collaroy Plateau, North Narrabeen, Warriewood, Elanora Heights and Wheeler Heights. Our farm at 104 Cornwallis Road, Cornwallis, is roughly 1 hour 15 minutes from Narrabeen via the M2 and Mona Vale Road. Each order is harvested to suit your date, so turf reaches the Northern Beaches fresh and ready to lay, from beach cottages to family homes.

Coastal Wind and Low-Lying Lagoon Ground in Narrabeen
Beyond salt and sand, wind exposure and the lower ground around the lagoon create a different set of challenges for some Narrabeen lawns.
Exposed, windy positions. Lawns on open or elevated blocks catch the full force of coastal winds, which dry the grass and soil. Deep watering during establishment and a good underlay layer help new turf root down faster and resist drying out between waterings.
Lower ground near the lagoon. Some lagoon-side properties sit on low-lying ground that can stay damper than the sandy flats. Let us know about your site so we can talk through preparation and variety choice before anything is cut.
Beach gear and outdoor living. Beachside lawns often take traffic from surfboards, outdoor showers and kids. Hard-wearing Kikuyu suits sunny, busy yards, while soft leaf buffalo offers a softer surface for bare feet coming up from the beach.
Shared lawns on Narrabeen strata blocks. Low-rise apartment blocks often have shared lawns. Strata managers can order the exact area needed and time the supply to suit residents and avoid disruption to the building.
Frequently Asked Questions About Turf Supplies in Narrabeen
What turf supplies work near the beach in Narrabeen?
Our turf supplies for Narrabeen include Sir Walter and Matilda soft leaf buffalo, Kikuyu, Wintergreen Couch and Greenlees Park Couch. The best choice for your Narrabeen lawn depends on how exposed it is to salt and wind, how much sun it gets and how it’s used.
Does sandy soil need underlay?
It helps a lot. Beachside sand lets water and nutrients slip straight past young roots, so a 100–150 mm layer of 80/20 turf underlay keeps more moisture where it’s needed. We can send it out on the same truck as your turf.
What if my Narrabeen property is near the lagoon?
Lagoon-side properties sometimes sit on lower ground that stays damper than the sandy flats. Let us know about your site when ordering, and we’ll talk through preparation and which variety suits your conditions best before your turf supply is cut.
How much turf supply do I need for a Narrabeen backyard?
Measure each lawn area in metres, multiply length by width and add the totals together, rounding up slightly for trimming. Send us your figures and we’ll confirm the quantity for your Narrabeen turf supply so you don’t run short.
How soon will my turf arrive?
Turf is cut once your order is confirmed and is usually ready within a day or two. We run deliveries six days a week, and you can also collect from the farm if you let us know the day before.
Do you supply strata managers and landscapers?
Strata managers, landscapers and builders working on Narrabeen properties regularly order from us, along with homeowners. We’ll time the harvest around your project and supply the exact area required, whether it’s one courtyard or a whole complex.
Can I also arrange pickup, delivery or installation in Narrabeen?
Each of those is available near the lagoon, and you can combine them. Choose turf pickup for Narrabeen to collect yourself, turf delivery in Narrabeen for pallets placed on site, or turf installation in Narrabeen for a complete lawn.
How do I water new turf in a windy coastal spot?
Lay the turf on arrival and water deeply once or twice a day for about three weeks, giving extra attention to edges on windy days. Once it has rooted, wait until two to three weeks have passed before mowing high.
