Planting a new lawn on the plateau?
Choosing Turf Supplies for Your Wilton Block
Wilton lawns have to cope with more than most. New estates leave compacted clay behind, the elevated plateau brings cold, frosty mornings through winter, and summer days still get properly warm. Picking the right grass at the ordering stage saves plenty of frustration later, especially on bigger blocks.
We grow Sir Walter, Matilda, Kikuyu, Wintergreen and Greenlees Park on our own farm, and every order is harvested to suit your date. Tell us your square metres and whether it’s a compact estate yard or a sprawling rural-residential lawn, and we’ll suggest standard rolls or maxi rolls, then have everything ready within a day or two.
In short: With more than 45 years of growing behind it, Arrow Turf is a family-owned farm based at Cornwallis. We supply fresh-cut buffalo, Kikuyu and couch to Wilton homeowners, builders and landscapers. Cost mainly depends on variety, area and site access, and orders are usually cut and ready within a day or two.

Supplying Wilton's Newest Lawns
Turf Supplies for Wilton Homes and Acreage
Wilton is changing quickly. Master-planned streets in Bingara Gorge now sit beside older rural-residential properties where grass can cover a large part of the block, and both need turf that handles shale-derived clay, warm summers and chilly winter starts. New homeowners often want a finished lawn before they move in, while acreage owners are usually replacing worn patches or tired grass around the house. Either way, getting the variety and quantity right is the first step to a lawn that lasts.
We take a practical approach to supply. Our team asks about sun, how the lawn will be used and how much frost your spot tends to see, then recommends from the five varieties we grow ourselves. Homeowners can order a few pallets, while builders and landscapers working across several Wilton lots can book larger loads, with maxi rolls available to cover big areas with fewer joins. To see how we handle orders of every size, take a look at our turf supplies across greater Sydney.

Wilton Clay and Frost
Estate Clay and Frosty Plateau Mornings in Wilton
Wilton’s elevated position and clay-heavy ground shape which turf will thrive, and a few local problems come up again and again when we talk with customers here.
Estate clay left dense by earthworks. Earthmoving on new estate lots leaves clay that is dense and slow to drain. Spreading around 100–150 mm of 80/20 turf underlay before laying gives young roots something friendly to grow into, so we often add underlay to estate orders.
Cold mornings and winter colour. Frost settles across the plateau in winter, and some grasses lose colour sooner than others. We’ll ask how exposed your yard is and how you use it, then point you towards the variety from our range that best suits those conditions, rather than guessing from a photo online.
Big lawns on rural-residential lots. Acreage-style blocks need a lot of turf delivered at once. Measuring accurately and choosing maxi rolls for open, regular areas keeps joins to a minimum and helps the whole lawn knit together evenly in its first few weeks.

4. Receive fresh turf: your turf is cut to order and ready within a day or two, so it arrives fresh.
Why Bingara Gorge Growth Drives Turf Orders in Wilton
Fast estate growth brings its own set of lawn challenges for new Wilton homeowners and the trades building their homes.
Lawn deadlines at handover. Many buyers want grass down before settlement or soon after moving in. Because we harvest to order, you can book turf for a set date and have it cut a day or two beforehand.
Measuring odd-shaped estate lots. Curved boundaries, side paths and garden beds make estate yards tricky to measure. Break the area into simple rectangles, add them up and allow a little extra for trimming, and we’ll check the total with you.
Bare soil, dust and runoff. Exposed clay turns to dust in summer and mud after rain. Covering it with turf quickly helps hold the surface together, keeps dirt out of the house and makes the new home far easier to live in from the first week.
Front and back done separately. Some owners turf the front yard first and the backyard later. We’re happy to split an order across two dates so each section is laid fresh.
Frequently Asked Questions About Turf Supplies in Wilton
Where do your turf supplies for Wilton come from?
All of our turf supplies for Wilton are grown on our family farm at Cornwallis in the Hawkesbury. Each order is cut fresh, usually within a day or two of booking, so the turf reaching your Wilton property hasn’t been sitting around on pallets waiting for a buyer.
Which grass copes best with frost on the Wilton plateau?
Frost can dull the colour of any lawn over winter, and exposure varies from yard to yard. Let us know how much sun your lawn gets and how hard it’s used, and we’ll compare Sir Walter, Matilda, Kikuyu and our couches for your particular spot.
How do I work out how much turf to order?
Measure the length and width of each lawn area in metres, multiply them and add the totals together. Round up slightly to cover cuts around curves and paths. If your plan is complicated, send it through and we’ll help you settle on a figure.
Do you handle turf supply for Wilton builders and landscapers?
Definitely. Alongside homeowners, we supply builders, landscapers and developers working in Wilton, including those finishing several estate lots at once. Trade customers can schedule loads around their build program, and maxi rolls are available when the area is large and open.
Are maxi rolls a good idea for an acreage lawn?
Usually, yes. Maxi rolls cover much more ground per roll than standard slabs, so there are fewer joins and the job moves faster. They suit wide, open lawns best, while smaller or fiddly areas are often easier with standard rolls.
How much does a Wilton turf order weigh?
Depending on how much moisture it holds, fresh turf comes in at about 15–20 kg for every square metre. That adds up fast, which is why our delivery trucks carry forklifts to place pallets where you want them. If you’re collecting your Wilton turf supply yourself, check your trailer’s rated load first.
Can Arrow Turf also deliver, install or arrange pickup in Wilton?
Of course. You can collect from the farm with turf pickup for Wilton, have pallets dropped off through turf delivery in Wilton, or let our crew handle the whole job with turf installation in Wilton.
What should I do once my Wilton turf supplies arrive?
Lay the turf on the day it arrives, then water deeply once or twice a day for roughly the first three weeks. Give the lawn two to three weeks before its first mow, with the mower on a high setting. Your Wilton turf supplies will root in far better with that early care.
