Installing a new lawn is far more cost-effective than many other alternatives you may be considering for your front or back yard.
A quality lawn can add to the value of your property – a national survey involving 114 Australian Real Estate agents in 2012 revealed that natural lawn can add 18 per cent (or up to $75,000) to the selling price of homes nationwide.
The cost of turf is based on the final quality product you as the customer receive from our myhomeTURF suppliers.
All turf grown by myhomeTURF suppliers is of the highest standard with a commitment to deliver service and assistance when required.
Turf is sold by the square metre and can come in rolls or slabs.

Our article on measuring your lawn will explain how to work out the amount (in square metres) you require whether that be a square, rectangle, circle or triangular shape yard and we also show you how to calculate an irregular shaped yard.
ALWAYS remember to order extra! For simple areas like a rectangle, order 5% extra.
For more complex irregular areas, order 10% extra. This will allow for any slight miscalculations and also the odd roll or slab in poor condition that you sometimes get.
