What It Takes to Deliver Turf for Major Infrastructure Projects in Sydney: M6 Stage 1

When people think about major transport infrastructure, they usually picture tunnels, roadworks, concrete and heavy machinery - not turf. But on large public projects across Sydney, landscape delivery plays an important role in how these spaces are finished, restored and experienced by the community.

That’s exactly what makes the M6 Stage 1 Project such a significant landscaping and turf installation job. The M6 is a major transport project that will help connect Sydney’s south to the wider motorway network, with works including twin four-kilometre tunnels linking the M8 Motorway at Arncliffe to President Avenue at Kogarah, upgrades to local road infrastructure, and new shared pedestrian and cyclist pathways in areas including Brighton-Le-Sands and surrounding corridors.

Working alongside client Regal Landscapes, Greenway Turf has played a role in the landscape delivery component of the project for Bayside Council, supplying and installing large volumes of premium turf across the site. To date, Greenway Turf has supplied 30,000m² of TifTuf Hybrid Bermuda, with a further 10,000m² still to come as the project progresses.

For a project of this scale, turf selection matters. TifTuf Hybrid Bermuda was chosen for its high drought tolerance, quick establishment and strong wear performance, making it a practical option for public infrastructure and open space environments where durability, presentation and long-term maintenance all need to be considered. In large council and infrastructure settings, choosing a hard-wearing turf variety can help reduce ongoing replacement and upkeep costs over time.

Major infrastructure projects require far more than simply supplying turf. From staging deliveries and coordinating with construction timelines through to installation quality, site presentation and establishment performance, successful outcomes rely on strong collaboration between suppliers, landscapers and project teams. Reflecting on the project and partnership, the team at Regal Landscapes shared:

 We engaged Greenway Turf Supplies for the provision of TifTuf turf on the M6 Stage 1 project and have been very satisfied with both their product and service.

The TifTuf turf, recommended by Greenway Turf, has proven to be an excellent choice. It has demonstrated strong drought tolerance, which has been particularly valuable under challenging site conditions. The turf also established quickly, allowing us to commence mowing within a couple of weeks of installation. Its lateral growth habit has been another key benefit, as it provides consistent coverage without becoming overly aggressive or difficult to manage between mowing cycles.

From a service perspective, Greenway Turf Supplies were highly professional and easy to work with. They were extremely accommodating, often responding to short notice requests and working within tight project timeframes. Their ability to coordinate deliveries within 24 hours was particularly helpful in maintaining programme requirements.

Projects like the M6 Stage 1 development demonstrate the important role landscaping and turf play in major civic infrastructure - helping transform construction zones into usable, functional and visually appealing community spaces.

Greenway Turf would like to thank Regal Landscapes, Bayside Council and the wider project teams involved in the delivery of this outstanding project, as well as Lawn Solutions Australia for the recognition.
