FAQs

Our turf specifications are as follows:

  • Slab dimensions – 16inches x 48inches (approx. 400mm x 1200mm) or 16inches x 24inches (approx. 400mm x 600mm)
  • Pallet size – Maximum 50 square metres.
  • Pallet weight – Up to 1.4 tonne depending on moisture levels

All our turf varieties are vegetatively produced and are unfortunately not available in seeded form.

Weather permitting, you can mow lightly for the first time three weeks after installation. In the winter months, your newly laid lawn will take longer to establish, therefore you may need to wait longer to mow. When mowing, please remember not to mow more than one third of your grass leaf at a time.

No, we specialise in growing and harvesting turf only.

Turf may be collected directly from our farm by appointment only. We cut fresh turf to order due to the perishable nature of turf.

If you are planning to collect turf with your own trailer, you need to be aware of your carrying capacity to safely transport your load and have the appropriate tie-down restraints to secure your load.

Yes. Hamilton Plans Turf has affiliations with two friendly local transport companies that can deliver to your required location in the Whitsundays, Central Highlands, Bowen and Mackay regions.

Please refer to the “Turf Calculator” section of our website for a simple to use guide to calculating your square metre requirements, no matter the shape!

Our minimum order requirement is ½ a pallet, which equates to 25 square metres.

You should install your turf immediately after purchase. Turf is a highly perishable product and will start to self decompose if left on a pallet for too long.

Water your new lawn thoroughly daily for approximately ten days after installation ensuring full saturation of the earth beneath the turf, so that the roots are never dry. Thereafter infrequent and deep watering is preferred to frequent and shallow watering. In Summer, particularly on hot days, up to four watering’s a day may be required to prevent the sod from drying out. Local hardware stores and nurseries sell tap timers that can assist you with installation watering. Alternatively, we recommend customers invest in an automated irrigation system.

We recommend Grass Master and Super Grass fertilisers. For more information on the Terra Firma Fertiliser product range and to locate local retailers, click here.
