Hi, does anybody know where to buy reasonably priced rolls of turf in Sydney?
I also need to get some soil for the top layer so I can lay it on.
Need about 50sqm.
Any advice or recommendations are appreciated.
Thanks.

Heaps of turf farms at Windsor, but they charge delivery. Check with your local nursery may be it will work out cheaper if they do free delivery.
I'll probably pick up as I have a trailer.
I found Materials in the Raw is advertising rolls at $7.70 (per sqm I assume). There's one in Chullora so I might check it out if the price is same as online.What is it? Sir Walter Buffalo is around $7.50/roll (1m²) from turf farm (plus delivery) or $8.00/roll from Flower Power (free delivery, comes from turf farm). It's around 15kg/roll, so 50m² is going to be 750kg. I'd rather take advantage of free delivery over $15 saving.
You are supposed to lay the turf on the same day, use your energy on laying the turf instead of wearing yourself out transporting the turf.
It's PALMETTO (from the description it says it's a type of soft leaf buffalo). Thanks for the advice on the delivery. I think I'll take it after knowing it's free. Will check out my local Flower Power this weekend.
Many thanks!
Unfortunately Flower Power (at least my local one) is closer to $10 per roll and also delivery is extra ($40). Might stick with my original one but thanks for the tips anyway.
That's strange, I thought all Flower Power are run by the head office (not franchise) and therefore should have standardised pricing and delivery policy, at least within the same metropolitan area.
May be call up another branch and see what they say.
your local park -)
Bunnings at Alexandria had buffalo rolls for $3 a roll out the front. Down from $10 give them a call
Me too!
I am in the North West between Parramatta and Carlingford.
