Our Story
Maddison Turf is a family owned and operated business – an everyday family doing everyday things.
We are blessed to be living in the sunny Bay of Plenty nestled in the Lower Kaimai, fringed by native bush with the constant sound of bird song – this is our workplace with 18 years of turf growing experience over 32 acres of roll out instant Lawn. We are situated 190 metres above sea level our grass has been grown in light, free-draining sandy loam soils, maintained in hardy conditions so when our product leaves the gate it is ready to flourish in the warm climate that the Bay offers.
Legend Couch Grass has been grown by us since December 2006 in partnership with Recreational Services, Auckland when both parties felt that Legend Couch Grass was a grass that is suited to the sunny Bay of Plenty, especially Mount Maunganui and Papamoa’s sandy soils and dry conditions.
In 2008 we became fully locally owned and operated, Maddison Turf Care grew Legend Couch grass under licence to Strathayr Farms Australia. Changes in 2015 saw the Turf Farm go into redevelopment with grass varieties such as Tall Fescue and Couch. Tall Fescue selling since May 2016. Due to demand we set up a new Turf Farm just down the road and have been harvesting Tall Fescue and Couch from this since 2017. With the addition of Kikuyu selling from 2023.
So here at Maddison Turf Care, we grow our own turf, supply wholesale directly to landscapers and contractors. For the DIY client we offer Retail rates direct from the Farm, with pick up or delivery options. We continue to offer advice on how to maintain your Instant Lawn - spraying and fertilising, however we no longer install or lay lawns we can connect you with a Landscaper or Installer to assist you with this. Instant lawn is a great solution for all projects from commercial to residential – golf courses, sports grounds to grass in your own backyard or your kiwi bach.
