Grech's Turf

What Grech's Turf does

Grech's Turf Supplies, trading as Grech's Turf and legally registered as Australian Lawn & Turf Supplies, is a family-owned turf farming and lawn supply business headquartered at 362 Cornwallis Road, Windsor NSW 2756, Australia. Founded in 1975, the company grows and supplies premium instant turf varieties — including Sir Walter Buffalo (DNA Certified), Sir Grange Zoysia, TifTuf Bermuda, Eureka Kikuyu, Nullarbor Couch, Australis Zoysia, and the newly released Stampede Buffalo — from production farms in Windsor and Clarendon/Yarramundi, NSW. Its core technology rests on AusGAP-certified agronomic processes, DNA-certified genetic purity for flagship cultivars, and Lawn Solutions Australia (LSA) accreditation that backs a 10-year product warranty on all turf varieties.

The business sells turf on a per-square-metre unit basis at price points ranging from AUD $8.60/m² (Eureka Kikuyu) to AUD $25.00/m² (Sir Grange Zoysia), and layers on a complementary catalogue of lawn-care inputs (fertilisers, herbicides, pest controls, wetting agents), an owned specialised delivery fleet offering next-day delivery across Greater Sydney, Central Coast, Blue Mountains, Illawarra, Newcastle and Hunter Valley, and a full-service turf installation offering (measure, ground preparation, levelling, installation, watering in). Go-to-market is omnichannel: an e-commerce storefront, phone-led consultative sales (1800 806 304), farm pickup, and a dedicated wholesale/trade channel serving landscapers, councils, and sports fields.

Customer mix is predominantly long-tail residential, with a smaller commercial trade segment including 10-year customers such as BNE Lawn & Garden Maintenance. The company is led by Managing Director Neale Tweedie, who holds horticulture qualifications focused on plant breeding, sits on the boards of Turf Australia and Turf NSW, and has driven media visibility via an ABC Gardening Australia feature. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; headcount sits in the 11-50 employee band, consistent with a regional Australian SMB.
