Custom requests
The essential qualities of our TifTuf Hybrid Bermuda turf are drought resistance and a dense root system. Its robust roots are highly resistant to the trauma of competitive games, and rapidly self-repair when torn, pulled and stomped on, making it the ideal choice for any lawn tennis court.
Our goal is to make your life as easy as possible. We have no trouble harvesting and sizing our maxi rolls or slabs to your ideal mow height. We’ll do the cutting at our estate before washing so that your turf arrives ready to be laid. If you have any other custom requests, please don’t hesitate to contact us — we’ll make it happen.
If you’d prefer to sprig your lawn tennis courts, we can provide fresh, healthy sprigs and even liaise with a vetted and qualified contractor to work on your site. Leave it all to us, and we’ll have your new court ready in no time.

Outstanding Consistent Quality
Our sand-grown lawn turf maximises drainage
Our TifTuf turf was designed to offer extraordinary drought resistance and handily thrives under Victoria’s baking sun. But as any Melburnian knows, the weather here is liable to change every hour, and rain is always around the corner.
We grow our turf in sand-based plots to ensure it can efficiently drain excess water and restore your tennis court to a playable condition as soon as possible.
