In Australia a natural lawn can increase the value of your home by up to $75,668. It is estimated that a well maintained lawn will add $48,600 to a $405,000 property in Queensland, that’s an added value of 12%.
A study commissioned by Turf Australia confirmed that a backyard with a natural lawn does indeed increase the value of your property. The same study also found that 80% of the population prefer a lawn that represents a third of the total size of the property. Luckily in South East Queensland most backyards still make up at least 40% of a house block and up to 60% in some areas. Natural lawns provide a place to exercise, spend time with family and friends, and a way to relax without having to leave home. They offer environmental benefits and aid in the natural cooling of your home, reducing air-conditioning costs.
If your lawn is looking tired, shabby or very unapealing and is dragging the perceived value of your home down, the best solution to increase the value of your home and make it more saleable is to install Australia’s most popular lawn choice, a DNA Certified Sir Walter lawn.
A time that you really should consider the state of your current lawn and its impact on the value of your property has to be when you make a decision that it’s time to sell.
According to homesale.com.au, ‘When selling your home, presentation is not only the key to the success of your sale, but also for getting the price you want. If you’re smart about it, investing some time and money into how your property is landscaped can make a big difference to your final sale price.’
There are a few things to note, if you are installing a new lawn in order to ready a property for sale:
- A lawn will take a few weeks to fully establish and during that time it will require a bit of TLC and regular watering.
- If you cannot afford to lay new turf throughout the entire property, you should at least consider the front lawn. It will enhance the street appeal of the home and this is where many decisions to buy or not to buy are made.
- Will you still be living in the home or putting the house on the market whilst empty? A new lawn will require regular maintenance and watering, so it is preferable that someone be available to complete this.
- Speak to your real estate agent; they are the best possible people to know what potential buyers are looking for in your local area. If it’s highly likely that new owners will add a pool or a back deck, than a new lawn may not be necessary or appropriate. On the other hand if the potential market is full of young families seeking a soft, safe area for the kids to play and kick a ball around, then a newly laid turf may just be the thing to get a signature on a contract.
A 12% increase in the value of your home is nothing to overlook and this is what lawn solutions can offer you.

Recently had over 1100 sqm of Sir Walter DNA Certified turf installed at my property by Daley's Turf. The turf is superb quality and looking fantastic in my front & backyards. The whole project management with Harley was 100% outstanding ~ from the initial & follow up consultations, soil preparation advice, help choosing the right turf for our block and finally the install with his small team. Absolute 5 star review to Daley's Turf for such an amazing project done to the highest level. Thanks 🙂
Angela De Paula Assis
Daleys Turf have the most incredible customer service. We dealt with Carmel, Harley, Pat and Michael, all of whom were patient and generous with their time and advice when we needed some guidance to care for our 6 month old lawn. I highly recommend Daleys Turf.
Jan Saunders
The transformation in our backyard is simply amazing! Pat and his team were friendly and answered all of our questions prior to and during the project. The guys worked seamlessly and passionately to complete the task in just one day. Our yard has gone from an ugly mass of mud and bumps to a beautiful green smooth and silky lawn. Can't recommend Daleys Turf enough.
Henry Martin
Excellent service, beautiful product. Highly recommend any person or landscape business to use the Daleys team. They go above and beyond to make a project come together. Very thankful.
Chris Smallwood
I couldn't be happier with my experience with Daley's Turf! Not only is the product first class, but all of my interactions with the staff were very positive and helpful. I loved the energy of everyone I spoke to and my new turf looks amazing! Well worth the drive up from Ipswich. Thanks again guys!

Pat took care of everything from start to finish, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.It all started when Pat came to my house to measure the lawn area and kindly explained in detail which type of grass would be best for my needs. He even took me to the farm to show me all the different options in person, which made the decision process so much easier.When it came time for the installation, Pat prepared the ground beautifully and laid the grass with such precision and care. Now, every time someone visits my home or passes by, they can’t stop complimenting how amazing the lawn looks. Some even mistake it for artificial turf and feel the need to touch it to confirm it’s real!Thanks to Pat’s attention to detail and professionalism, my lawn looks absolutely stunning. I highly recommend Pat for anyone considering new turf – he truly goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional results.Sylvia xx

We have no hesitation in recommending Daley's Turf to you. They have delivered a first rate product in a professional manner. There was great communication with the company. The turf was ordered, an onsite inspection and discussion of alternatives and in no time we have a beautiful lawn. Special thanks to Harley for making it happen.

I have a home putting green project and Daleys shipped me some zoysia sprigs through an overnight courier. Arrived a few days later but the sprigs were packaged very well and arrived in great condition. Daleys also followed up the order making sure the product was safe and happy to give some guidance with the care and planting of the sprigs. 1 week in and the grass is starting to get some shoots. Thanks guys.
Colette Taylor
Our excellent experience with Daleys Turf started when Harley Schenk arrived at our home to assess our requirements for a new front lawn. His expertise coupled with his friendly manner and detailed explanation created an immediate confidence that assurred us we had chosen the best company for our needs. Harley arrived on schedule, was well presented and wasted no time in preparing the quote. On the day of installation again he arrived on time with his colleague Patrick and together they carried out the task. They were painstaking in their efforts in preparing the site and laying the new turf. I have witnessed many lawns being laid in our suburb and I can honestly state that my lawn stands out from the rest, due to the quality of the product and the meticulous standard of Harley's workmanship. If you think your lawn is in need of replacement do not hesitate to engage Harley at Daleys Turf, you will not be disappointed.
Sean O'Connor
As everyone else has said. Expert advice. Terrific service. Highly recommended!
Karen Riddell
Great service, our Sir Grange has been down for 6 years and Jamie came out to have a look and supply us with a treatment to help with our little problem we love our lawn and are very happy with the service.
Roslyn BYRNE
We’re very happy with the Sir Walter laid by Daleys Turf. This is its first winter and the area doesn’t get a lot of sun, but we are thrilled with how well it is going and how it has retained its greenness. We still have some further renovation work to do on our yard but having the turf laid gave it a brilliant start. Daleys Turf also have great customer service and follow up from time to time to see how their handiwork is going! Highly recommend this company!
Mike Saunders
We have had a major landscaping project including a pool and over 200sq mtrs of turf. We chose Daleys Turf because they grow the turf, provide an installation service but most importantly because Pat who came round to quote was very knowledgeable and it would be him managing and laying the turf. Pat and the team arrived as agreed and worked hard all day and I find it difficult to find the words to describe the transformation they created for us. Pat worked with us all day checking it was going as we wanted and making suggestions that would help with drainage and looks. We are absolutely delighted with the outcome. Pat called a few days later to check all was well and we know he is just a phone call away if we need advice. We even got a lawn care pack at the end of the day! Daleys Turf were not the cheapest quote we got but we are so pleased we chose them. Thank you Pat and Team. A few of before and after pics but they don't do justice to the quality of the job.
Karra Haight
Terry and Harley worked absolute wonders! So happy with our new lawn... from start to finish they were really easy to deal with and offered great advice! As soon as it was laid it looked like it had been there forever and it took to the soil beautifully! Terry was kind enough to give me his sprinkler and tap timer when he noticed ours had been broken - above and beyond! Pictures just under 4 weeks after installation - front before mow, inside fence after it's first mow! These are unedited... it's so green!! Thank you Daleys Turf!

We had the Sir Walter Buffalo lawn in your previous home, and most of our friends and family always mentioned how beautiful was our turf.This time around, when we were looking for a lawn option to suit our new home, we knew it should come from Daleys Turf. They have a great variety of options in their farm, and from choosing the right lawn to all advice received and the installation - we cannot fault this business!Special thanks to Patrick and his dedicated team for helping us create an amazing frontyard with their Sir Grange Zoysia.We absolutely love the way it looks, and the very low maintenance required. We feel like living on a golf course with the best lawn in town.From neighbours to people driving near our house, everyone loves it. It’s a show stopper!!Thank you Daleys TurfCheers,Marcelo and Gabi

What a bloody sensational job! Had the boys from Daley’s Turf supply and lay the turf at our house this morning. The Sir Walter turf was top notch quality (the deepest green I’ve ever seen) and all the workers were friendly, polite and very knowledgeable. Also had the privilege of meeting the owner when he came to quote the job, so a massive thanks to you Terry and your staff. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!!

Great service from Terry and his team at Daley’s Turf Farm. The meters of lawn I got was in fantastic condition and the service was A1. Any turf questions, they are the people to ask.
Gemma Stevens
My backyard went from mud pit and weeds to the perfect lawn.I had tried to do it myself but it failed…. Nothing took. I did the bunnings turf which was taken over by couch again somehow. $800 wasted.Daley have finally given me the lawn I so badly wanted. The grass has taken. It’s high quality. I got a certificate as certified sir Walter and looks amazing !!Pat and team used the appropriate chemicals to kill everything off before prep day.It was expensive for 50m2 (approx $2500) but you know what, sure was nice to come home and it was all taken care of!The boys had to spray twice, add a fair bit of soil, grade it, and supply and install. It was worth it for me considering how much money I had already wasted.So save up and get pros in!! For sure!!Pats always willing to take call and give advice to ensure appropriate care of lawn in early days which I was thankful for post some investment gone into this.They also fertilised my neighbours front yard for using their drive way and there grass looks great right now. So the quality of products they use is good.Super happy with result- appreciate it thank you Pat and Delays Turf team
Jayden Smith
Daley's turf has such amazing service within a space of a week and a half I had turf organised and sent 600km not 1 bit was bad. all was planted and looking good. Thank you Daley's turf
