Benefits of Turf – Turf Rolls & Turf Slabs

Are you thinking of installing turf rolls or slabs in your garden? If you are unsure of whether to incorporate turf into your outdoor space, the answer is yes! A lawn has a plethora of benefits alongside its bright and vibrant visual aesthetic. But what benefits does turf actually provide? Let’s find out.

If, like many of our customers, you want to do your bit to combat climate change, you’ll be pleased to know that Coolabah Turf specialises in drought-tolerant turf varieties. Once established, they have minimal water requirements and can be maintained with grey, tank or bore water supplies.

A landscape of turf will transform your hot, bare yard and reduce surface temperatures by up to 10ºC, or up to 30ºC compared to synthetic surfaces.

And from an environmental standpoint, a small lawn area of just 5m2 of turf will provide enough oxygen for one person for an entire day!

So reduce your carbon footprint in an instant and invest in Mother Nature’s overlooked, yet most efficient, cooling system – a healthy lawn from Coolabah Turf.

Main Benefits of Turf

Environmental: soil erosion control, dust prevention, heat dissipation, noise abatement, glare reduction, air pollution control.

Recreational: low cost playing surface for community parks, playgrounds, golf courses, and sports fields. Enhanced player safety and spectator enjoyment.

Commercial: boost property values.

Aesthetics: quality of life, social harmony, community pride.

Recreational Use

Get outside and enjoy the fresh Victorian air in your garden. Turf provides a safe, cushioned surface for you and your loved ones to enjoy various recreational activities and sports. From a simple game of catch to a contact sport such as footy, you’ll enjoy endless fun. Make memories with your loved ones or relax by yourself, reading a book or unwinding with some yoga. A lawn provides the perfect surface for all of your activities, no matter how active your lifestyle.

Fresh Air

A turfed space in your garden helps with oxygen production; in fact, a lawn area of just 5m² will provide enough oxygen for one person for an entire day. So it’s no surprise that installing a grassy patch into your outdoor space will make you feel brighter and refreshed every time you head outside.

Cooling Properties

We all know how warm those summer Victorian days can get. And we’ve all felt the heat rising from asphalt and concrete. Ensure that your garden stays cool by installing turf. A healthy grass will stay 10 degrees colder than bare soil, and 20 degrees colder than asphalt, concrete and synthetic lawns. A welcome benefit if you ask us and save on rising power bills.

Instant Beauty

We can’t forget the beauty that an instant lawn provides. Installing grass slabs is the best option to choose. You guarantee a full, springy and luscious lawn that is immediately fit for purpose, whether that be for high-traffic use or ornamental purposes.

Low Maintenance

Our Sir Grange Zoysia instant turf is easy to care for and requires less maintenance than regular seeding or slab-cut turf. You’ll start with a fresh canvas, and with proper watering, mowing and fertilisation, your lawn will withstand the test of time. Say goodbye to the time and effort involved with regular seeding. Say goodbye to a patchy lawn. By laying turf, you’re choosing a full and bouncy lawn from the moment you install it.

Premium quality slab-cut instant turf!

Our backup support team of professional instant turf managers will GUARANTEE you always have the best-looking lawn in the street!

The Coolabah Turf philosophy to specialise in the exclusive supply of environmentally sustainable water smart turfgrass varieties will ensure we fulfil our “lawn for life” promise to every customer.

All Coolabah Turf instant lawn varieties such as Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo Lawn, Eureka Premium VG, Sir Grange, Tif Tuf, and Nullarbor Couch are harvested fresh daily from our Echuca (Victoria) farms straight to your door – all in less than 24 hours of harvest.

All Coolabah Turf instant lawn products are supplied in an easy-to-lay slab-cut form to ensure foolproof establishment for every DIY landscape project. Prime slab-cut turf also means each piece is nearly half the weight of traditional instant turf rolls, making the installation process less back-breaking and more fun for the whole family.

Because slab-cut turf comes with a thicker base of soil (between 30-40mm) it will establish twice a fast, require half as much water, and means our premier varieties are now available all year round!

Turf slabs are 1220mm long and 410mm wide. Slab-cut instant turf is faster and easier to install, removes the need for top-dressing turf upon installation, and is more user-friendly and lighter in weight than traditional turf rolls. Turf slabs also require less water during establishment, and are awesome at minimising future weed issues.

Should I Choose Grass and Turf Slabs over Turf Rolls?

If you’re in the market for turf rolls, consider giving the turf slabs a try. Opting for slab-cut turf has the added benefit of significantly reducing the weight of each piece, making the installation process less strenuous and more enjoyable for the entire family. With a thicker soil base (ranging between 30-40mm), slab-cut turf ensures quicker establishment, reduces water demands, and makes our premium varieties available throughout the year.
