Thank you to Ryans Turf. Jackie was very helpful and knowledgeable when we purchased our Sapphire turf as we were advised great for kids to play on. It made it easy for us to drive from Nowra as we placed our order over the phone and they cut it that day for us to pick up in the afternoon. The grass was so fresh, lush and thick. Thank you so much. Mark and Kel.

I am so impressed with the whole team at Ryans Turf Nowra. I requested a quote for 40m2 of Kikuyu Turf and received a response from Jacqui within the hour, along with a very competitive price.
I confirmed my order with a very jovial and helpful, Peta, in the office and received the product within two days and at the precise time that I had been given. The quality of the turf is unbelievable. (Like it was just harvested on the day of delivery). The delivery driver could not have been more helpful. He had a very friendly manner and placed the turf exactly where I requested him to place it. Don't look anywhere else. These guys are great. Thank you.

Things To Do Before Installing New Turf in Nowra
Preparing your yard before laying new turf in Nowra is the key to helping it establish quickly and stay healthy for years to come. A little extra work up front makes all the difference:
Clear the Site: Remove old grass, weeds, rocks, and any debris so your new turf can root without competition.
Get the Soil Right: Level and aerate the soil to prevent water logging and compaction. Boost its health with organic matter or a quality soil conditioner.
Plan Your Watering: If you don’t already have one, install an irrigation system to ensure your turf gets consistent moisture—especially during the first few weeks.
Test Before You Plant: A quick soil test will reveal pH and nutrient levels so you can make any adjustments for optimal growth.
By preparing your landscape properly, you’ll give your new lawn the perfect foundation to thrive in Nowra’s conditions.
