Turf & lawn in Sydney — FAQs
How much does it cost to lay new turf in Sydney?
Laying runs about $12-$22/m², plus turf supply (~$13-$18/m² for buffalo). A typical 80m² backyard lawn lands around $2,000-$3,200 supplied and laid.
Real turf or synthetic?
Real buffalo handles Sydney shade and foot traffic and stays cooler; synthetic suits deep-shade or zero-maintenance yards. We can render both so you can compare.
When's the best time to lay turf in Sydney?
Spring and autumn root in fastest, but with good watering turf goes down year-round in Sydney's climate.
