Save on delivery costs by picking up smaller turf orders directly from our farm. Our forklift operators can load your turf onto your ute or truck. Please note the approximate weights to ensure your vehicle’s capacity:
These weights are estimates and may vary based on the turf’s moisture content at harvest. Clients picking up from the farm are required to return any pallets used.
We deliver turf on pallets via truck, with a maximum capacity of 700m² or 12 pallets per load. Our truck is equipped with a rear-mounted Moffett forklift for easy placement of your turf, requiring a 2.6m wide access.
Delivery services are available to all local Townsville areas, including outer beaches, as well as outer regions such as Ayr, Bowen, Charters Towers, and Ingham.
We can also arrange transport to anywhere in Queensland —just get in touch to discuss your needs.
To enhance soil quality before establishing a lawn or garden, Spring Creek Turf recommends spreading a 50-100mm layer of premium soil over the area, followed by fertilising and watering.
We can provide the soil, spreading equipment, and an experienced operator to ensure your turf gets the best start.
Careful site preparation is fundamental to a successful landscape, with particular attention to soil levels and drainage.
Clay soils, known for poor drainage, require careful grading to direct water towards gutters and drains. The necessary soil volume will be determined during the initial site visit.
Narrow sides of houses often present drainage challenges, becoming waterlogged during wet seasons. We can discuss various solutions during the initial site assessment.
Proper site preparation is crucial for a successful lawn, whether you’re installing it yourself or hiring a professional.
Ideally, lay your turf within 24 hours of harvest, especially during the harsh summer months in North Queensland to prevent overheating and yellowing.
We recommend applying a starter fertiliser to the soil before laying your new lawn.
Water the new turf within 30 minutes of installation, ensuring it is thoroughly soaked but not saturated initially.
For DIY installers, we offer complimentary brochures from Turf Australia to guide you.
If you want to take the time and hassle out of laying your own lawn, our experienced team provides a hassle-free turf laying service, allowing you to enjoy your new lawn immediately.
Spring Creek Turf can install irrigation systems. Depending on your budget, choose from two main types of irrigation systems:
A more affordable option that simplifies watering by eliminating the need to move hoses and sprinklers around your yard, though it still requires manual operation of taps every 10-20 minutes.
A more costly but independent system that can be programmed to water at optimal times or during the council’s restricted hours, even when you are away. It can also include a rain sensor for water efficiency. Automatic irrigation systems saves time and are more water efficient.
Our team is available to provide free quotes and advice on the best irrigation system for your needs.
Spring Creek Turf have extensive experience in both residential and commercial landscaping. We can collaborate with you to design your ideal garden.

Contact us for expert advice and delivery of the most suitable erosion control measures.
For large areas unsuitable for traditional turfing or seeding, such as parks, ovals, sports fields or acreage, line planting offers an efficient solution.
Our line planting machine cultivates the ground using sprigs from quality turf rolls.
With regular watering and initial fertilisation in the formative stages, runners will quickly extend between sprigs to form a consistent carpet of green.
For large areas such as Sporting Fields, Parks or Golf Courses our top dressing spreader can apply sand, top soil, mill mud and other soil amendments to the turf, quickly and efficiently.
Our spreader is capable of spreading 80m3 per day.
Top dressing turf has a number of benefits, making the lawn healthier and more resilient.
Compacted soil hinders healthy root development and restricts water and fertiliser penetrating to the roots. Aeration alleviates soil compaction by removing small soil cores, promoting stronger root growth and healthier grass.
Our Agrivator aerator features solid tines (18mm diameter) with a working depth of up to 150mm.
Regular turf aeration significantly benefits large grassed areas such as sporting fields and golf courses by:
Job too big for a shovel and wheelbarrow?
For larger landscaping projects, Spring Creek Turf offers Bobcat hire to ensure efficient site preparation.
Our fleet includes a Toyota SDK5, ideal for small to medium jobs, and a Toyota SDK8 for larger tasks.
