Before you start comparing turf prices you really need to have a good idea of what you want from your turf.

Turf is usually priced per square metre and will vary depending on the type of turf you choose.

Choosing the right turf variety for your situation will save you money and give you a result that surpasses your expectations.

You need to ask yourself, do I want a:Minimal maintenance lawn? Lawn that survives drought? Lawn that is shade tolerant? Hard wearing piece of turf that can take lots of punishment? Low allergen turf that is friendly to allergy sufferers?

The price of good quality instant turf is surprisingly low and ranges from around $10.50 per square metre for Kikuyu to $12.50 per square metre for Empire Zoysia.

A certain amount of ground preparation may be needed, including spraying, rotary hoeing, and levelling, to get the best results.

You can do this yourself or allow our expert installers to do the job for you.

With Atlas Turf, spending as little as $3,000 could net you as much as a 16% return on your investment.

That’s right; a lawn increases the resale value of a Sydney or Central Coast home by an average of 16%.

It is excellent in full sun and thrives in hot, humid areas while having good shade tolerance – $17.00 per square metre. Kikuyu Turf Pricing:

It does tend to discolour in cold conditions (below 5 degrees Celsius) – $9.65 per square metre. What is the Pallet of Turf Price?

Generally a single pallet includes 60 sqm of turf, so for Sir Walter turf the price per pallet would be 60 sqm x $15.95 = $957.00 plus delivery. How many metres do you load onto each pallet, is it the same for each pallet?

The maximuim square metres for a single pallet is 60 sqm.

As no two orders are the same, we’ll load the pallets depending on the quantity of each order.

For example, if you order 25 sqm we have one pallet for 25 sqm.

But, if you order 120 sqm that would be 2 pallets of 60 sqm each.

For an order of 150 sqm we would load each pallet with 50 sqm, so you would have 3 pallets of 50 sqm each.

Wouldn’t Pavers or Artificial Grass Be Easier and Cheaper?

Some people don’t do their homework and automatically assume that pavers or artificial grass will be cheaper and easier to look after than natural premium quality turf.

When the price of turf is compared to the artificial alternatives the choice to go natural is a no-brainer…

… especially when you factor in the return on your investment and other benefits of natural turf.

Pricing for alternative ground covers:Synthetic or Artificial Grass:

Prices range from $30 to $50 per square metre.

There are some serious concerns about the safety of artificial grass here in Australia and in the U.K. and U.S.

Recycled tires are frequently used to make up the matting and there appears to be strong evidence for a high degree of carcinogenic and other toxic chemicals in these materials.

The heat build-up in artificial grass is significantly higher than in natural turf. Pavers:

Prices range from $140 to $210 per square metre.

Pavers can look good but the glare can be intolerable on bright days. Pavers will increase the ambient temperature considerably. Concrete:

Water runoff issues mean that you may need to add in some serious drainage costs as well.

Glare and increased heat around the house and environmental concerns about the makeup of cement are other issues to consider. Asphalt:

$100 to $ 140 per square metre.

Expect to pay extra for drainage. Heat build-up with bitumen surfaces can be intense in summer. Stone:

$40 to $220 per square metre depending on the quality and type of stone. Bricks:

You may pick up a lot of 2nd hand bricks cheaply but you will have to clean the old mortar off and it can also be difficult finding enough matching bricks.

Bricks can look good in small areas but you will forever be dealing with moss and weed growth. Gravel:

The prices above are an estimate only and may not include all the preparation and installation costs.
