Morning has broken! What a magnificent morning at Greenacres Turf Group, with the sun rising over Sir Walter soft leaf buffalo. The team are out on turf early each day, cutting turf for community.

In the second image, you will see Village Green Kikuyu jumbo ‘lay and play’ rolls. Jumbo rolls typically cover around 15m2 a roll and weigh between 500kg-1 tonne dependent on weather and time of year. They are cut around 50mm thick so the turf can be used immediately after laying. (You can literally play sport immediately after it is laid, on this turf).
The thickness of the turf, and the weight, requires effort and specialised equipment to lay the turf appropriately. Once down, it’s a virtually immovable slab of turf.
Often you will see jumbo rolls laid on high use public open space and sporting areas, and stadiums.
It’s very satisfying and fulfilling, to be able to provide an immediately usable surface. 🙂

Another early start on farm, harvesting turf for community. In this instance we have the team up at WEST COAST TURF in Neergabby, harvesting turf to be installed commercially. Meaning that this turf will be installed on an oval, at a school, on a park, at a wildlife centre, in a dog park, all for community use. Community turf benefits communities. That’s a fact. Natural, healthy, irrigated turf provides not only oxygen, it cools the planet and provides social, health and well being and environmental benefits we often take for granted.
Our public open spaces serve us all better than we think. It doesn’t matter what age we are, there are benefits from spending time, relaxing, recreating, playing sports, undertaking mindfulness activities, simply walking or undertaking low impact exercises, this surface is the perfect medium for these activities. It’s safe, it doesn’t burn, it assists in keeping ground temperature down for trees to survive, it supports a wider variety of biodiversity than we realise and it’s aesthetically beautiful. We all need a bit of green time to combat screen time, or work time.
Good on the Turf Growers Assn WA members for taking this responsibility so seriously. Providing quality turf for all of you with great ethic.
