Additional Costs to Consider
When budgeting for Kikuyu turf, consider the following additional costs:
- Soil preparation – Removing old turf and levelling soil can cost between $3 - $5 per square metre.

- Ongoing watering costs – Water usage varies depending on climate and irrigation system.
What factors influence the price of Kikuyu grass?
Several factors can impact how much Kikuyu turf costs, including:
Quality and variety
Not all Kikuyu turf is the same. Premium varieties with better drought tolerance and disease resistance tend to cost more. Higher-quality turf requires less maintenance to thrive, making it a cost-effective option in the long run.
Quantity purchased
Buying in larger quantities typically reduces the price per square metre. At Lilydale, we offer tailored pricing for residential and trade orders — including bulk rates and special offers for qualifying customers.
Delivery and installation
- Depending on distance, delivery fees can range from $50 to $200.
- Professional installation can add another $5 to $10 per square metre to the total cost.
- DIY installation is an option for those wanting to save on labour costs.
