THE BUCHANAN TURF FARM
When it comes to growing & maintaining turf, there’s not much we don’t know…
Buchanan Turf is the Biggest Turf Farm in the Hunter region and the Home of Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo, now an International turf variety. Starting out in 1974, the original farm was located at Buchanan via East Maitland, but since 1985 we have been at Bolwarra. Set on the rich flood plain of the Hunter River this has proven to be the perfect location for grass to grow…
AT BUCHANAN TURF WE OFFER THE FOLLOWING TURF VARIETIES:
Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo
Sir Grange

Our grass is mechanically harvested into Turf Tiles 1250mm x 400mm. It is palletised so that handling can be made easier on sites with difficult access. Our delivery trucks are fitted with forklifts to allow turf to be delivered as close as possible to the site.
“Soils” aren’t just “Soils”, they are the foundations of your lawn or garden. Your soil may be sandy or clay based, or you may be lucky enough to have a loam based soil that holds its’ structure well. Before you lay any new lawn you need to check the soil that will be underneath it.
A good soil for laying turf on will have a mixture of sand, silt, organic matter and clay to provide the nutrients as well as aid drainage. We recommend Lee’s Lush Lawn Underlay at a depth of 50mm to help establish your new lawn. Alternately if you are sculpting a golf course backyard then we would recommend an Oakhampton soil that allows for drainage but holds its’ structure really well.
If you are top dressing your lawn a river sand/organic soil mix is the perfect combination. Lee’s Rocket Top Dressing will promote strong quick growth, at the same time providing your lawn with the essentials to keep it a lush green colour. Topdressing should only be done in the warmer months, usually late August through to March.
Soils vary a lot because of the proportions that are mixed together, so buy your soil from a local supplier that knows your area. Soil can be purchased by the scoop, or cubic metre, with bulk quantities catered for at special discount prices. At Lee Rowan’s Gardenworld Warners Bay, or Ourimbah there is a drive through facility so you can pick up your soil, or better still take advantage of their fast, reliable delivery service.
