SAPPHIRE & SIR WALTER BUFFALO TURF NOTICE
Stock of buffalo varieties in SE QLD is very low. Whilst we can still supply you at this time please note that suppliers are harvesting less mature stock and as such the turf will be FRAGILE. Please ensure that you fold the slabs of turf when carrying/moving it once you receive your delivery.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW!
– ALWAYS lay your new turf the SAME DAY that it gets DELIVERED! With Sth East Qld’s often hot and humid conditions, turf can heat up and burn when left stacked on the pallet for extended periods of time ie: overnight. Warner Garden Centre will not replace damaged turf that has been left on the pallet overnight.
– NEVER water your turf while it is STACKED ON PALLET!
– If you suspect that somethings is wrong with your turf when laying it, then please call us IMMEDIATELY (at worst take some pictures of the affected turf). It’s hard to deal with issues 2 weeks after the job is done.
TIP: Don’t use soaker hoses to water your new turf as they can be very ineffective. A simple metal dome sprinkler is a better alternative!
Cancelling Turf Orders
During winter some of our turf farms will harvest your turf on the day (starting at 7am) prior to your delivery so as to ensure their trucks are making an early start for deliveries. With this in mind, please allow 36hrs notice if you wish to cancel or postpone an order. Where turf is already cut and cannot be reallocated to other orders, your order cannot be cancelled or postponed.
