OUR STORY & PHILOSOPHY

Passion, Innovation, and Turf That Performs

A Family-Owned Legacy Bringing World-Class Turf Expertise to Victorian Homes

We believe that everyone deserves to enjoy great grass. That’s been our driving force since the beginning.

HG Turf Group was founded by Ross Sutherland and is now proudly led by his sons, Hamish and Gavin Sutherland. What started in the early 1990s as a broad-acre turf farm in Alexandra, Victoria, has grown into one of the most trusted names in turf across Australia, the Asia Pacific and the Middle East.

With millions of square metres of turf currently under production, we supply top-quality turf to elite stadiums, trade and commercial landscapers and family homes. Our natural turf is expertly grown to suit Australian conditions, and includes popular varieties like Buffalo, Tall Fescue, Santa Ana Sports Couch and Kikuyu.

Our experience delivering turf for some of the world’s most demanding stadium environments has driven constant innovation. We are most passionate about pioneering turf solutions and delivering unparalleled natural grass surfaces that create memorable experiences. For homeowners, this means access to natural turf varieties cultivated with the same precision and durability that stem from our world-class expertise. The direct benefit to you? A stunning, robust lawn that thrives, giving you more time to enjoy your outdoor space with family and friends.
