From the coastal stretches of the Bellarine Peninsula to the elevated estates of Highton and Waurn Ponds, soil conditions vary widely across Greater Geelong. As a leading name among suppliers for Melbourne, Geelong and regional Victoria, we offer a broad range of turf types tailored to local conditions and growing profiles.
Found across the Bellarine Peninsula, including Clifton Springs, Ocean Grove and Leopold, sandy soils drain quickly but lack water and nutrient retention. Adding organic matter during installation helps improve turf performance.
Recommended varieties:
The Geelong region boasts some of Victoria’s best soils, particularly in the Barrabool Hills and parts of the Bellarine Peninsula. Areas like Ceres, Highton, and Drysdale feature rich, well-draining loams that are ideal for establishing a healthy lawn. These soils retain nutrients effectively and can support most turf types without significant modification.
All turf varieties perform well in loam. Simply choose the right match based on sun, usage, and look.
Heavier clay soils are typical in inland suburbs like Highton, Waurn Ponds and Armstrong Creek. These soils hold water but often need conditioning to prevent compaction and support deep root growth.
It’s worth improving clay soil by breaking up the ground and adding gypsum in powder or liquid form. It’s hard work, but the results are worth it.
Recommended varieties:
The ribbon test is an easy way to get a feel for your soil type. Take a moist handful of soil and press it between your fingers to form a ribbon.
This quick test can help determine how well your soil retains moisture, or contact our team, and we’ll point you in the right direction.

A few years ago, we experienced an extremely wet and cold spring and spring period and the lawn was really struggling. What’s the hardiest variety to choose, and how can we encourage repair if this happens again?
It’s always hard to see your beloved patch of lawn in a bad state, but in these circumstances, some yellowing and thinning is reasonable to expect, given the Spring period is the start of the key growth phase for most grasses.
RTF Tall Fescue is a hardy cool season grass ideal for waterlogged or cooler areas thanks to its deep roots and self-repairing ability. It is renowned for its ability to retain a lush green colour year-round, including during the winter months.
To help your lawn recover after wet and cold seasons:
Improving drainage during installation and choosing a resilient variety will go a long way toward preventing cold-season damage in future.
How can I get rid of lawn weeds?
The best way to get rid of lawn weeds is to maintain a healthy, dense lawn that crowds out invaders. Spot treat with a selective herbicide that targets broadleaf weeds without damaging your turf. For stubborn infestations, consider a blanket spray with a suitable herbicide for your turf variety. Always follow label directions, and avoid mowing right before or after application for best results. Regular mowing, proper fertilising and seasonal aeration can also reduce weed pressure over time.
How can I get rid of lawn grubs?
Have you noticed thinning grass, spongy patches or lawn birds scratching at the turf? You may have a grub problem, such as African black beetle larvae. These pests live just beneath the surface and feed on the roots, causing visible damage and inviting birds to dig.
To check for lawn grubs:
If you confirm you have a pest infestation, apply a registered insecticide containing ingredients like acelepryn or bifenthrin as per the instructions. For ongoing issues, consider a preventative treatment in late spring or early summer. Healthy lawns also recover faster from grub damage, so regular fertilising and proper mowing helps too.
What advice do you have to best prepare and lay instant turf?
To get your lawn off to a great start, prepare the soil by clearing any debris, levelling the ground, and improving drainage if needed. Apply 150mm of sandy loam with added fertilising lawn starter supplied. The turf will benefit from this slow-release feeding during the early growth phase, strengthening the roots and ensuring thick coverage. Once the turf is in place, your yard looks sensational already.
Ensure you water it well, keeping it moist over the first few weeks, and avoiding heavy foot traffic until the roots have established. For a complete guide, check out our blog on how to install natural turf.
