Wintergreen couch from $7.00/m², Sir Walter buffalo and Empire Zoysia at $15.50/m², grown just up the D'Aguilar Highway at Woodford
Need turf in Caboolture, Morayfield or the surrounding Moreton Bay suburbs? Hancey's Turf grows it at Woodford QLD 4514, on the D'Aguilar Highway that runs west out of Caboolture, and cuts it to order for each job. Three varieties cover most local yards: Wintergreen couch at $7.00/m² for open, sunny blocks, and Sir Walter buffalo or Empire Zoysia at $15.50/m² where you want a softer leaf or have shade to deal with. Use the turf calculator to size your order, then ask for a quote that includes delivery to your street.
Caboolture and Morayfield are the part of Moreton Bay closest to our farm. Turf bound for a Caboolture yard leaves Woodford and comes down the D'Aguilar Highway, so it spends less time on the truck than an order heading into Brisbane. That short trip is the main reason to buy from a grower rather than a reseller here: the slabs you lay were in the ground at Woodford, not sitting on a pallet in a yard.
This page covers Caboolture (postcode 4510) and Morayfield (4506), plus neighbouring Burpengary, Bellmere and Upper Caboolture. If you are further south, the North Brisbane & Moreton Bay page links every suburb page we have, including North Lakes and Redcliffe.
Most turf questions we hear from Caboolture and Morayfield fall into two groups. The first is new-home buyers in the estates that have filled in around both centres, who have a bare block, a builder's handover and a budget that is already stretched. The second is owners of older homes on bigger lots, who want to returf a tired yard without paying premium prices for every square metre.
Both groups usually end up comparing the same three grasses. Wintergreen couch ($7.00/m²) is the value choice for yards that get sun most of the day; it is a couch, so it recovers from wear by running back into bare patches, and it is the same variety we supplied and laid for the council sports fields at Narangba and Dakabin. Sir Walter buffalo ($15.50/m²) suits yards with a shaded side or a two-storey neighbour. Empire Zoysia ($15.50/m²) is for owners who want a dense lawn that needs less mowing. Our turf varieties page compares them side by side.
Whichever you choose, the ground under the turf matters more than the grass. Compacted fill, poor falls and no topsoil cause more failed lawns than the wrong variety does, which is why we suggest reading our guide to turf underlay soil before you order.
On many new blocks the builder leaves compacted fill with little or no topsoil on top, and turf laid straight onto it has nowhere to send its roots.
Shallow roots dry out in the first hot spell, and a lawn that thins in year one usually needs returfing by year two.
Loosen the surface, add a proper underlay soil and set the levels before the turf arrives. Our site and soil preparation page explains the steps.
Cleared estate lots and older acreage-style blocks often have open backyards with few established trees.
A variety bred for shade can struggle in all-day sun, while a sun-loving couch thrives there.
Wintergreen couch at $7.00/m² is our usual recommendation for open, sunny Caboolture yards. It is the most affordable of our three varieties.
Narrow side setbacks and neighbouring two-storey houses cut the hours of direct sun that part of the yard receives.
Couch planted in heavy shade thins out, leaving bare strips along fences and walls.
Use Sir Walter buffalo ($15.50/m²) for the shaded sections, or split the order between two varieties. Our shade-tolerant turf guide covers the choice in more detail.
South East Queensland's heavy summer downpours hit before new slabs have knitted together, especially on yards that slope towards the house or a fence.
Water running across bare joins scours soil out from under the turf and pools against slabs and paths.
Set falls away from the house before laying, butt the joins tightly and keep new turf watered in rather than flooded. Our lawn drainage guide explains how to fix a yard that holds water.
Irregular yards, garden beds and paths make it easy to guess the area wrong.
Too little turf leaves a gap that is hard to match later; too much is money left on the driveway.
Measure each section as a rectangle or triangle, add them up and allow a little extra for cuts. The turf calculator does the maths, and our guide on how to measure for turf shows the method.

Yes. We supply Caboolture, Morayfield, Burpengary and the rest of the City of Moreton Bay from our farm at Woodford, as part of the area we serve across Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast.
For a yard in full sun, Wintergreen couch at $7.00/m² is the usual choice: it handles heat and wear and repairs itself by spreading. If part of the yard is shaded for much of the day, use Sir Walter buffalo for that section.
The farm is at Woodford QLD 4514 and is open 6am–4pm. Call 1800 761 334 before you drive out so your turf is cut and ready.
Usually, yes. Turf laid on hard, compacted fill roots poorly. Loosen the surface, spread a layer of underlay soil and level it before the turf arrives. See our guide on how to lay turf for the full process.
Turf can be laid year-round in South East Queensland. It establishes fastest in spring and early autumn, when the soil is warm. Summer laying works if you water every day for the first couple of weeks. Our best time to lay turf guide goes month by month.
