How prompt turf delivery gives your lawn the best start

There’s nothing like stepping onto a fresh, lush lawn, and at Go Turf, we want to make sure you get that green paradise as quickly and seamlessly as possible. That’s why we focus on timely delivery and installation—giving your new turf the best possible start, right when it needs it the most.

And let’s be real: who wants to wait when you could have a stunning lawn without the hassle?

Why quick delivery and installation matter

We know how much you care about your outdoor spaces. So when you invest in new turf, it’s important to get it from the truck to your yard as quickly as possible, especially in the warmer months. Here’s why our quick turnaround makes all the difference:

Beat the heat: Turf left sitting too long, especially on a hot day, can start to cook from the inside out—a problem called “pallet burn.” The heat trapped in the centre of the pallet can cause the grass to compost, killing the turf from the middle outwards. To avoid this, we carefully monitor our leaf and soil temperatures every day, sometimes starting our harvest in the cool, quiet hours of early morning. This ensures your turf arrives fresh and ready to thrive.

Minimise transplant shock: Just like any plant, turf doesn’t like being uprooted. The faster it’s in the ground, the less stress it endures, meaning a healthier, greener lawn for you. Quick installation means your turf spends less time in limbo and more time putting down roots where it belongs—in your yard.

Prevent drying out: Warm weather can quickly dry out fresh turf, especially if it’s sitting on a pallet. By getting your turf laid promptly, we help it stay hydrated, reducing the risk of drying out before it even gets a chance to settle in.

Promote healthy root development: Quick installation allows your turf to start establishing a strong root system right away. This is crucial for a lush, resilient lawn that stands up to kids, pets, and backyard BBQs.

Watering your new turf: the key to a healthy start

Remember to water your new turf immediately after installation! Regular watering is essential, especially in the warmer weather when fresh turf can dry out quickly. A thorough watering right after laying your turf helps minimise transplant shock and promotes strong root development, setting the stage for a healthy, lush lawn.

Keep your new turf well-hydrated during the first few weeks to ensure it establishes properly—consistent moisture is key to helping your lawn thrive, particularly in Queensland’s warm climate. So, grab that hose and give your new lawn the best start it deserves!

Extra care with Under Lawn Fertiliser

We don’t just stop at delivery and installation. To give your new lawn the very best start, we also recommend using our under lawn fertiliser at the time of installation. As the weather heats up and dries out, this special fertiliser helps your turf retain moisture right around the roots where it’s needed most, thanks to its water crystals. It’s like a little insurance policy for your lawn, ensuring it stays lush, green, and healthy even in the toughest conditions.

Mid Feb 2023. Ordered Sir Walter turf for delivery to my house. Lady who took the order was very helpful with quantity to buy which was spot on. Delivery turned up on time. Driver went out of his way to put the turf exactly where it was wanted at the back of my property. The turf was in rectangular pieces about 1 metre x .75 metre -not in rolls.

We recently turfed our front yard and were extremely happy with our decision to use Go Turf. The quality turf we received exceeded our expectations, was great value for money and was free from weeds (unlike other turf we’ve seen on the market). Our lawn is now thriving. Thanks Matt for your wonderful customer service!

Rebecca C.

Matt at Go Turf was a pleasure to deal with. Nothing was too hard and the Turf quality was fantastic. Go Turf's focus on looking after it's customers is outstanding and their commitment to ensuring customers are happy with their product is evidenced when the last thing they say is "let me know if you have any problems".

Ben V.

Amazing! The best word to describe the whole crew at Go Turf. Everyone from Matt and Jo through to Jeff and his boys. They were all great do deal with, very friendly and insightful. would recommend them to anyone.

Steve B.

Really good customer service. I ordered 220m2 of Sapphire Buffalo turf which was delivered and laid 2 days later. The guys did an adequate job laying, but bear in mind your soil must be completely prepped beforehand. I knew this but didn't have the time to get the soil as flat and well prepped as I would have liked.

Leishy V.

The most beautiful product! If you can make the trip out to beerburrum to pick up your grass, do it. The scenery is amazing with views of the bay and the glasshouse mountains. Especially if you're a city slicker. Very cool to see how they cultivate our beautiful turf! Thank you ladies my grass is incredible!!!

Ronnie M.

Absolutely love my new Empire Zoysia lawn from Go Turf. Whilst I didn't have them install it the quality of grass was fantastic. I can't wait to be able to kick the ball around on it with my son!The staff (I think it's Jo and Jessica) where fantastic and delivered on very short notice.
