To be the best, work with the best stadium turf suppliers

We’ve been growing turf since 1985, and we’ve laid that grass at Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 stadiums, as well as local council, school and university ovals. Our expertise is specific, field-tested and uniquely our own. Beyond just turf, that’s the value we bring as your supplier and consultant.

Natural grass is more comfortable to run, jump, land, tackle and fall on, making it the preferred choice for players. Artificial turf is more durable and consistent in inclement weather — but not necessarily for long. Australia’s professional sports fields are built on sand, which improves drainage and provides long-term protection for the entire field, especially during the rainy season.

All our turf options are natural grass, which is more environmentally friendly, comfortable, and cost-effective than synthetic grass.

  • Natural grass is more environmentally friendly.
  • Sports players often prefer organic grass.
  • Natural turf is a more cost-effective option.

Our Eureka Premium VG Kikuya and TifTuf Hybrid Bermuda can handily meet and surpass all standards.

Most major grass sports fields are built on a sand foundation. Such a foundation maximises the field's drainage ability.

  • labour costs

    Delivered to site, on time

    We’ll do more than just truck your turf over; we’ll bring a forklift to put it precisely where you need it.

  • grown

    Victorian-grown for Victorian stadiums

    Every piece of turf we deliver was grown by us at our Pakenham, Gippsland, or Yarra Glen farms, so we know it’ll thrive in our climate.

  • harvesting tech

    Specialised harvesting techniques

    We can harvest your turf in rolls or slabs to ease installation and improve the finish.
