- Turf cant be harvested in wet weather as turf breaks, is weak and heavy to handle, and also creates an unworkable site on the farm and on the site. People are always unhappy when they can't get turf due to wet weather, but if it is wet at our turf farm, chances are the other farms are usually in the same situation. So in general we don’t miss out on the order as the other farms are unable to harvest also.

- credit Card payments are accepted, and must be phoned through to Hancey's turf as our truck doesn’t carry onboard transaction machines.

PBR grassesare regestered under the plant breaders act and are improved specialised cultivated turf varieties breed for specific growing conditions.

Hanceys Turf recommends to maintain a healthy lawn in water restriction either have a water truck service or set up a sprinkler system to run of a rain water tank to keep your lawn thick, green, lush and healthy as all plants are living things and do require some water to stay alive. Even the best drought tolerant turf can only withstand a certain time without water.
