One grower, two councils — fresh turf delivered across the whole southside
South Brisbane is a big, mixed patch to buy turf for — it reaches from the established, tree-shaded blocks of Sunnybank and Eight Mile Plains across to the fast-growing, value-focused estates of Logan Central, spanning two councils in a single delivery run. Hancey's Turf grows and cuts turf to order at our Woodford farm and delivers it fresh across the whole southside, usually within 24–48 hours of your order. Whether you're a homeowner re-turfing a shaded yard, a landlord after hard-wearing couch, or a builder needing new-estate lawns laid, you can buy supply-only or full supply-and-lay.

This is the regional home for turf supplies across South Brisbane — a coverage page for the southside as a whole, with a link down to each suburb we serve. Use it to check we deliver to your area, get a feel for which turf suits your block, and see per-square-metre pricing, then jump to your suburb's own page for the local detail.
Regional knowledge
Why it matters here
South Brisbane isn't one place, and turf that suits one part of it can struggle in another. As a delivery region it straddles two local government areas: the established, owner-occupier south of Brisbane City — Sunnybank, Eight Mile Plains and Mount Gravatt — and the younger, faster-growing City of Logan, where Logan Central sits. That split matters the moment you choose a variety. Sunnybank is dominated by detached houses on established, often tree-shaded blocks, with a strong owner-occupier base alongside a sizeable rental share, while Eight Mile Plains has densified so that around a quarter of its homes are now townhouses with small, shaded courtyards near the Gateway and M1. Logan Central runs the other way — a younger suburb where about six in ten homes are rented, which pushes demand toward hard-wearing, cost-effective lawns for investment properties and first homes. The City of Logan is also Queensland's fastest-growing local government area, so the southside carries a steady pipeline of new-build and new-estate lawn jobs.
One thing the whole region shares is climate: this is a humid subtropical zone with hot, wet summers and drier winters, which rewards warm-season grasses — couch, buffalo and zoysia — that green up and knit through summer. That single climate lets us give region-wide variety guidance without pretending the southside is one flat backyard. For shaded established blocks in Sunnybank or a townhouse courtyard in Eight Mile Plains, a shade-tolerant soft-leaf buffalo like Sir Walter or Palmetto, or Empire Zoysia at 40–50% shade tolerance, holds colour where couch would thin out. For a full-sun Logan rental, Wintergreen Couch at $6.50/m² is the budget-friendly, hard-wearing pick.
Every order is cut to order from our Woodford farm and delivered fresh, usually within 24–48 hours of confirmation. That model is what makes the run down to the southside work without the turf drying out — the farm sits well to the north of the region, so this is a genuine delivery run rather than a local pickup: you order ahead, we harvest, and it lands ready to lay. From there you can pick your exact suburb below and reach its dedicated page, or book a free, no-obligation measure and quote.

Common local challenges
The challenge
Not knowing whether a specific southside suburb is actually covered
South Brisbane spans two councils — Brisbane City's south and the City of Logan — so a single 'Brisbane' page rarely makes clear which exact suburbs get delivery.
Buyers waste time enquiring with growers who don't reach their street, or assume they're out of range when they aren't.
Brisbane is one of our three core delivery regions, so the southside suburbs are squarely covered; this hub links down to each suburb page so you can confirm your area.
The challenge
Choosing a variety when the region's blocks are so different
Established Sunnybank and Eight Mile Plains blocks are often tree-shaded, while Logan Central skews to full-sun rentals and new builds.
The wrong grass for the light on your block thins out, patches or needs constant work.
We match variety to conditions — shade-tolerant buffalo (Sir Walter, Palmetto) or Empire Zoysia for shaded blocks, hard-wearing Wintergreen Couch for full sun — and can advise by lot type.
The challenge
Worrying turf won't be fresh after the trip from the farm
The Woodford farm sits well to the north of the southside, so this is a genuine delivery run from our farm rather than a local pickup.
Turf that sits cut for too long loses condition and is slower to establish.
We cut to order and deliver within 24–48 hours of confirmation, which is what keeps turf fresh over the haul — just order ahead for the southside run.
The challenge
Finding hard-wearing turf that suits a rental or investment budget
With about six in ten Logan Central homes rented, landlords need durable turf that doesn't blow the budget.
Premium buffalo can cost more than a rental lawn warrants, but a cheap, unsuitable grass fails under full sun.
Wintergreen Couch at $6.50/m² is our budget-friendly, full-sun, hard-wearing pick, delivered and, if you want, laid.
The challenge
Getting lawns laid to a new-build timetable
The City of Logan is Queensland's fastest-growing LGA, so builders and new homeowners on the Logan side face tight new-estate turnaround.
A slipped turf date holds up handover and landscaping sign-off.
Cut-to-order supply plus supply-and-lay and site prep scales to new-build timing, with 24/7 online ordering and a free measure and quote.

Frequently asked questions
Do you deliver turf across the whole South Brisbane region?
Yes. Brisbane is one of our three core delivery regions, so the southside — from Sunnybank, Eight Mile Plains and Mount Gravatt in Brisbane City to Logan Central in the City of Logan — is squarely covered. Turf is cut to order at our Woodford farm and delivered fresh, usually within 24–48 hours of confirmation. Use the suburb links on this page to reach your exact area.
Which turf suits a shaded established block versus a full-sun Logan yard?
For the tree-shaded, established blocks common in Sunnybank and Eight Mile Plains, a shade-tolerant soft-leaf buffalo such as Sir Walter or Palmetto, or Empire Zoysia (40–50% shade tolerance), holds colour where couch would thin. For a full-sun yard — typical of many Logan Central rentals and new builds — hard-wearing Wintergreen Couch performs well and costs less. We can advise by block and light.
What's the cheapest hard-wearing turf for a Logan rental or investment property?
Wintergreen Turf Couch at $6.50/m² is our lowest-priced, hard-wearing, full-sun variety — a practical pick for the many rented homes in Logan Central. As a couch, it prefers full sun, so it suits open, unshaded yards; we can deliver only, or supply and lay.
How fresh is turf that travels from Woodford to the southside?
Our farm at 2 Hart Rd, Woodford sits well to the north of the southside, so this is a delivery run from our farm rather than a local pickup. We cut to order and deliver within 24–48 hours of your order being confirmed, which keeps turf fresh and helps it establish — just order ahead for the delivery run.
Do you supply only, or supply and lay, across South Brisbane?
Both. You can choose pick-up, delivery, delivery and lay, or full preparation, delivery and lay. DIY landlords often take supply-only, while builders and time-poor owners hand over the whole job with site prep, professional installation and aftercare advice. A free, no-obligation measure and quote comes first.
How much is turf per square metre across the region?
Prices are published for every variety, from $6.50/m² for Wintergreen Couch up to $13.50/m² for Sir Walter, Palmetto and Empire Zoysia. Delivery ($175) and a minimum installation cost ($400) are charged separately from the per-square-metre turf price. Get a free measure and quote for an exact total.
