Lawns also provide a wealth of benefits and solutions to community spaces such as sporting fields, parks, schools, day care centres and of course, playgrounds.
For play grounds a lawn variety that requires a low amount of maintenance, good for wear and tear and is self-repairing is ideal. For these reasons, we recommend Nullarbor Couch or Platinum Zoysia.
- Hard wearing suitable for play grounds & schools.
- Drought tolerant.
- Fine leaf texture.
- Likes to be mown very short.
- Cost effective for large areas.
- Excellent chemical tolerance.
- Hard wearing – so suitable to high traffic areas.

Some benefits of using lawn for playgrounds includes:
Climate Control – lawns serve as nature’s air conditioner. The turf on eight average sized front lawns has the cooling effect of 70 tonnes of air conditioning and that’s enough for 16 average homes.
Erosion Control – turf offers an efficient and inexpensive form of erosion control by intercepting rain before it disturbs the soil. It also promotes water percolation rather than runoff, reducing the loss of fertile soil and the amount of water and pollutants reaching storm water drains.
Filter – Grass traps smoke and dust particles from the air and works as a filter. This is particularly useful in urban areas where the dust from cars and trucks is trapped and washed down into the soil.
Environmental Benefits – Lawns capture and use greenhouse gases, counteracting climate change. Turf plants trap air pollution and generate much of our oxygen – a lawn only 15m x 15m will produce enough oxygen for a family of four to breathe for an entire year so just imagine what a sporting field can produce. It also acts as a barrier against chemicals entering the soil profile, while the natural shedding of turf stems and leaves, as well as mowing clippings, contribute valuable organic mulch to the soil over the life of the lawn.
Social Benefits – A well-maintained lawn encourages outdoor exercise and relaxation. Lawns promote the therapeutic benefits of green spaces – a proven technique for rehabilitation.
Rubbish Reducer – Garbage is less likely to be left behind or thrown on a well-maintained lawn.
Noise Reducer – Lawns can decrease noise by 8 -10 decibels, making it particularly important in urban and highly built up areas.
Injury Prevention – Turf helps to absorb physical impact and reduces injuries. It is safer than concrete, bare soil or artificial grass by providing both traction and cushioning benefits.

Client Feedback
We had a problem with drainage at our property and lost some of the turf that Daleys had supplied.
Harley and the staff were very understanding,helpful and honoured the guarantee, supplied replacement turf.
We would highly recommend this business and particularly Harley for excellent service
So helpful with picking our lawn and went out of there way to help lay it
Even came round the next day to check every thing was ok.
Would highly recommend all the staff.
So helpful
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.

Highly recommend.
These guys are super knowledgeable and very passionate. It was very refreshing to deal with such professionals.
These photos were taken a couple months after install on the first mow. It looks and feels incredible.
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 Turf
Cheers,
Marcelo and Gabi
The crew led by Pat did an exceptional job & the follow up calls to see how we’re going has been amazing.
The finished product was above our expectations - well done guys

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
Thanks again Tezz.
Cheers Daleys
