Turf on the South Coast, Eurobodalla, Bega and Shoalhaven: Complete Guide to Premium Lawn Solutions
Introduction
At Southern Turf (formerly Eurobodalla Turf Supplies), we have been helping homeowners for over 25 years across the South Coast of NSW, Eurobodalla, Bega and Shoalhaven. Our locally grown turf supplies on the South Coast are designed for the salt air, humidity, and mixed soil types unique to this region.
We take pride in growing turf on the South Coast that not only looks incredible when it’s freshly laid, but stays lush and resilient year-round. Whether you’re landscaping your first home, developing a commercial project, or upgrading a public space, this guide will help you choose the right turf, install it properly, and keep it thriving for years to come.
What You’ll Learn From Our Turf Suppliers on the South Coast of NSW
This guide covers everything you need to know about choosing and maintaining turf on the South Coast of NSW, Eurobodalla, Bega and Shoalhaven, including:
- How to select the best turf variety for your local conditions
- Key steps for successful turf installation
- Maintenance tips to keep your lawn lush and healthy
- Common turf challenges (and how to fix them fast)
- Cost-effective strategies for residential and commercial lawns
Understanding the local South Coast of NSW, Eurobodalla, Bega and Shoalhaven Climate
Our South Coast region has a distinct blend of coastal humidity, sea breezes, and diverse soil conditions. While the ocean keeps our summers cooler and winters milder, it also brings salt-laden winds and occasional heavy rain that can challenge lawns not suited to the area.
These conditions mean you can’t just install any turf on the South Coast. You need varieties bred for coastal performance, capable of handling both sandy soils near the beach and heavier clay inland. Choosing the right type ensures a greener, low-maintenance lawn instead of one that constantly struggles against nature.
Coastal Challenges: Salt, Soil & Sun
Even several kilometres inland, salt air can stress turf varieties that aren’t built for it. That’s why we only recommend salt-tolerant options such as Palmetto Buffalo and Kikuyu. These grasses have evolved to handle salt exposure and high humidity, maintaining colour and density throughout the seasons.
The soil variation across the South Coast and Eurobodalla is another factor. Near the coast, sandy soils drain quickly and need more frequent watering and fertilising. Further inland, clay soils retain moisture longer but can become waterlogged.
Our team helps customers correct soil problems prior to laying turf on the South Coast, ensuring strong, deep roots from day one.
Choosing the Right Turf Supplies on the South Coast
Selecting the right
turf supplies on the South Coast is where everything begins. Here’s what we recommend for our local climate and usage patterns:
Palmetto Buffalo Turf
Buffalo turf remains the go-to choice for South Coast of NSW, Eurobodalla, Bega and Shoalhaven homes. Palmetto Buffalo offers shade tolerance, drought resistance, and a soft, family-friendly feel underfoot. It handles coastal air and high humidity extremely well, holding colour through the cooler months.
Kikuyu Grass
When durability matters — for sports fields, parks, or active family yards — Kikuyu is hard to beat. It establishes quickly, self-repairs fast, and thrives in full sun. If your property has children, pets, or heavy use, Kikuyu is ideal. Just remember: it needs plenty of sunlight and regular edging to keep it tidy.
How to Calculate How Much Turf You Need
Getting your turf quantity right avoids waste and ensures full coverage.
Measure the area
Multiply length × width in metres for square or rectangular lawns and then use our online calculator.
Account for irregular shapes
Add 5–10% extra for curves, garden beds, and trimming.
Know your roll size
Both our varieties have a roll size of 450mm wide x 2.2m long, giving you 1m2. The roll height is approximately 25mm high. You need to allow for this along driveways and paths to ensure you don’t scalp the turf when mowing.

Professional Turf Supply & Installation
After decades of turf installation along the South Coast of NSW, Eurobodalla, Bega and Shoalhaven, we've seen one thing proven time and again: professional installation makes all the difference. Laying turf isn’t just about rolling out grass — it’s about soil preparation, timing, and immediate aftercare.
Most lawns can be installed within a day, and we provide aftercare guidance to ensure successful establishment. With professional installation, you save time, avoid costly mistakes, and enjoy guaranteed results.
Our process includes:
We can assess drainage, and exposure before recommending a turf variety.
Site inspection and soil testing
We can remove weeds, level the ground, and enrich the soil with organic matter and starter fertiliser. We can organise the delivery of premium topsoil if your site needs it.
Soil preparation
Fresh local delivery
All of our
turf on the South Coast is cut fresh, and deliveries start in the early morning to maintain freshness.
Our team ensures tight seams, proper watering, and even root contact for quick establishment.
Professional laying
| Feature | DIY | Installation |
|---|---|---|
| Time | Several weekends | Usually completed in one day |
| Results | Mixed success | Guaranteed results & warranty |
| Effort | Physically hard work and draining | Feel great the next day with no aches and pain |
| Beer O'Clock | Out in the hot sun, risk of heat stroke | Sit back in the shade, enjoy a drink and watch the work being done for you |
For most homeowners and businesses, professional installation delivers the best long-term value — faster establishment, minimal stress, and a healthier lawn from the start.
Common Turf Challenges & Solutions
Even with proper installation, coastal lawns face a few predictable issues — but with local knowledge, they’re easy to manage.
Salt Damage from Sea Winds
- Solution: Choose salt-tolerant turf like Palmetto Buffalo, and rinse your lawn occasionally with fresh water after strong coastal winds to prevent salt buildup.
Poor Drainage or Heavy Clay
- Solution: Improve soil with gypsum to improve drainage and allow better root establishent. Buffalo handles heavier soils better than most varieties.
Summer Heat & Water Restrictions
- Solution: Deep watering twice a week is better than daily shallow watering. Opt for drought-tolerant varieties like Kikuyu or Palmetto Buffalo.
Ongoing Turf Maintenance Tips
Following these practices keeps your lawn dense, healthy, and resilient all year round.
- Mow regularly, but never remove more than one-third of the leaf height.
- Fertilise seasonally — spring and autumn are ideal.
- Aerate heavy clay soils once a year.
- Water early in the morning to reduce evaporation and fungal risk.
