Hard-wearing for high-profile sporting facilities

Product Price

Looking for a manicured lawn for a high-profile sporting venue? We have the answer.

Stadium Couch Turf is a next-generation hybrid couch created specifically for sporting venues, and it delivers! Its dark green coloring and naturally manicured appearance make it an excellent choice for televised and live sports. Plus, it has a deep root system and aggressive recovery, so it stands up to even the most extreme events!

Even when conditions aren’t perfect, this grass was created to look good. The natural dark green color stays put in high and low temperatures and poor quality soils. It’s also resistant to most pests and tolerant of herbicides, so you’ll have no trouble with maintenance. If it does start to look drab, a little fertilizer will have it green and gorgeous again in no time.

HIGHLIGHTS

What Our Clients Say

Real feedback from homeowners, tradies, and builders across Queensland.
We worked closely with Hancey’s Turf on the construction of Samford Football Precinct.

Their responsibilities included spreading and laser levelling of imported growing medium, supply and installation of washed and unwashed turf and associated consolidation and maintenance.

We found Nathan and his team professional and knowledgeable. I wouldn’t hesitate before recommending them or using them again myself.

Universal Civil Contracting has been using Hancey’s Turf as a subcontractor of ours since early 2012.

During this time we have had a professional relationship with Nathan and his Staff. We have always found them to be conscientious and diligent in their work and continually striving to improve their work methods.

Hancey’s Turf provides outstanding work and because of this, we continue to use them as our turfing Sub-contractor when necessary. We have also used Hancey’s Turf to turf around our personal premises.
