Supplying turf throughout the South West since 1991

Thank you, South West. It’s been a wonderful 35 years.

The owners of Down South Turf have taken a well-deserved retirement. The Busselton farm is now closed for maintenance, and there is no turf available for sale.

Their story

Grown, cut and delivered by the people who owned the farm

Down South Turf started in Busselton in 1991. From day one it was owner-operated: when you called, you spoke to the person who grew, cut and delivered your turf.

Over the years their fresh-cut slabs went into backyards, school ovals, golf courses, foreshores and new estates right across the South West, usually cut and delivered within 24 hours of your order.

Down South Turf was proud to be AusGAP Certified, a member of Lawn Solutions Australia, and the South West’s licensed supplier of Sir Walter DNA Certified buffalo.
