Roberts Turf grows turf on our own farm at Chevallum and delivers it fresh to homes, landscaping jobs and commercial sites. If you’re buying turf on the Sunshine Coast, you can order direct from the people who grow it. Choose from four varieties suited to local conditions, then have it cut, delivered and, if you like, laid by our team. From a family backyard to a school oval or new development, we’ll help you pick the right grass and get it on site when you need it.
OUR SERVICES
Sunshine Coast Turf Grown on Our Chevallum Farm
Our turf comes from our own farms, which cover 50 hectares across Chevallum and Gympie. That gives us a year-round supply, and it means your turf is harvested fresh and delivered quickly to your site on our own trucks.
We’re proud locals who know Queensland’s conditions inside out. We cultivate and harvest our turf to strict industry quality standards, and you’re welcome to visit the farm to see the grass for yourself before you order.
Buying from a turf farm rather than a reseller keeps things simple. One team grows it, cuts it, loads it and delivers it. If you have a question about your order or your new lawn, you’re talking to the people who grew it.
Turf Varieties for Sunshine Coast Lawns
We supply four turf varieties. All four handle wear well, so the choice usually comes down to how much sun the area gets, how much mowing you want to do and how close you are to the coast.
Wintergreen Couch. A soft, fine-leaf turf that repairs itself quickly, which makes it a good fit for yards with kids and dogs. It needs 5 to 6 hours of direct sun a day and a regular mow. High salt tolerance suits coastal properties.
Sapphire Buffalo. A deep-green buffalo turf that’s soft underfoot and handles shade of up to 70% cover. It recovers quickly from wear and holds good colour through winter.
Nara Native Zoysia. Bred in Australia for hot, dry and humid conditions. Very high drought and salt tolerance and very low maintenance make it a strong choice for beach and waterfront homes.
Augusta Zoysia. A compact, deep-green zoysia turf with very high shade and drought tolerance. It needs less mowing, fertilising and watering, so it suits a low-maintenance lawn.
Not sure which one fits your yard? Our turf selection guide compares shade, drought, salt and cold tolerance side by side, or give us a call and we’ll talk it through.
Turf Supplies and Delivery Across the Sunshine Coast
If you’re comparing turf suppliers on the Sunshine Coast, buying from the grower means your turf is freshly harvested and delivered to site on our own trucks. Here’s what to expect:
- Turf is dropped on the nature strip where it’s safe to do so. If you’d like it placed inside the property, our driver will only do this if it’s safe, and it’s at the owner’s risk.
- Have someone on site to check the order is correct before the truck leaves.
- Lay your turf on the day it arrives. Turf left stacked can discolour, particularly in hot weather.
- Turf delivery fees vary by area.
Weather or traffic can occasionally delay a delivery. If that happens, we’ll let you know the new delivery time.
Turf Laying and Site Preparation on the Sunshine Coast
A good lawn starts with a properly prepared site. Our team can prepare the ground before your turf goes down, including weed removal, debris clearance, quality soil underlay and starter fertiliser, so roots can grow evenly and deeply.
If you’d rather not lay it yourself, our turf installation service covers small and large areas, with your turf laid by trained professionals. Once it’s down, we’ll explain how to look after your new lawn while it takes root, and we’re on hand if you need advice later. See all our turf services.
For ongoing care, our 8-Week Lawn Care Programme pairs a liquid fertiliser treatment from The Lawnfeed Company with a slow-release granular fertiliser, made for Queensland coastal conditions.
How to Order Turf
You can order online or over the phone.
- Measure your area. Use our turf calculator to work out how many square metres you need.
- Choose your variety. Compare the four varieties above, or call us for a recommendation based on your yard.
- Place your order. Order turf online or call the farm. Orders are paid in full at the time of ordering unless you hold an account with us. Changes or cancellations need at least 24 hours’ notice before delivery.
- Be ready on delivery day. Have the site prepared and someone available to check the order and start laying the same day.
Turf for Homes and Commercial Projects
For home lawns, our turf is soft underfoot and suited to Sunshine Coast conditions, so it works well for growing families, pets and anyone who spends time outdoors. It’s a straightforward way to replace a tired lawn or finish a new build.
For council parks, school ovals and larger developments, we supply hard-wearing, locally grown turf with a consistent finish. Flexible order volumes, prompt delivery and support from our experienced team help you meet project deadlines. Keep an eye on our monthly turf specials for current offers.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Does Turf Cost on the Sunshine Coast?
Turf is priced per square metre, and the cost depends on the variety you choose and where it’s delivered. Current prices for each variety are listed on our turf varieties page, and our monthly specials show any discounted lines. If you’re weighing up laying it yourself against paying for installation, our DIY vs professional installation guide breaks down the costs. For an exact figure, call us or request a quote.
How Much Turf Do I Need?
Measure the length and width of each area in metres and multiply them to get the square metres. Our turf calculator does the maths for you. It’s worth allowing a little extra for cuts around garden beds, paths and curved edges. If your yard has an unusual shape or you’re unsure of the numbers, call the farm, and our team will help you work out the right quantity.
How Is Turf Delivered, and How Soon Should I Lay It?
We deliver on our own trucks and drop turf on the nature strip where it’s safe to do so. Someone should be on site to check the order before the truck leaves. Lay your turf on the same day it’s delivered, because turf left stacked can discolour, particularly in hot weather. Delivery fees vary by area, so ask for a quote for your address.
Do You Lay Turf as Well as Supply It?
Yes. Along with turf supply and delivery, our team offers site preparation and turf laying. Preparation includes weed removal, debris clearance, soil underlay and starter fertiliser, and the turf is then laid by trained professionals across small or large areas. Contact us with the size of your area and the variety you’d like, and we’ll provide a quote for supply and installation.
Can I Visit the Turf Farm in Chevallum?
Yes, you’re welcome to visit our Sunshine Coast farm at 520 Chevallum Road, Chevallum, to see the turf before you buy. We’re open Monday to Friday, 7 am to 4 pm. Seeing the grass up close is a good way to choose a variety and ask questions about your yard. Give us a call on 07 5478 9438 before you head out so we can make sure someone is available.
