Get Turfed

The Lawn Legends With Cheeky Charm

There’s turf... and then there’s Get Turfed. And if you’ve ever driven past a pristine Mackay lawn and thought, that grass is greener, chances are Jason and his team had something to do with it.

A farmer at heart and a straight-shooter by trade, Jason has been working the land since he was ten, growing up on a cane farm in Proserpine. In 2002, a chance sighting of a turf truck planted the seed for something new, and from that moment, Get Turfed began to take root.

“We offer the complete package,” Jason says.

“From the first consultation right through to lawn care maintenance and everything in between.”

That includes ground prep, irrigation, chemical application, and even lawn care maintenance plans. And thanks to top-of-the-line equipment and solid supplier relationships, Jason’s team delivers efficient, timely turf installation without compromising quality.

“No project is too big or too small for us. Be it a vast commercial expanse or an intimate residential lawn, we bring equal dedication and expertise to every project we undertake”

Based in Mackay, Get Turfed supplies and delivers premium turf varieties across a wide region – including the Whitsundays, Townsville, Burdekin, the Coalfields, Central Highlands, Rockhampton, the Capricorn Coast, and beyond. The team regularly travels to meet client needs, bringing top-quality turf directly to residential, commercial, and civil sites.

With a professional community minded team, Get Turfed caters to everyone – from first-home buyers to retirees, patch-up jobs to large-scale civil projects. And it’s not just about lawns – it’s about the people.

“We take pride in what we do. We want every customer to walk away happy.

“If you’re not happy, we’re not happy… it’s as simple as that.”

Jason’s honest, hardworking approach comes with a side of humour and a generous helping of community spirit. He’s the kind of guy who’ll lay your lawn one day and jump on stage the next – like when he took part in the Mackay Hospital Foundation’s Dancing With Heart to help raise funds for local health services.

“We sponsor local sports and community groups and charities, we donate time and equipment... and we really try to help wherever we can,” he says.

From the newest Seaforth Esplanade Waterpark, Finch Hatton Mountain Bike track to the River Street redevelopment, Jason’s proudest moments often come when he stands back and sees bare ground transformed into green, functional spaces for families, kids, and communities to enjoy.

“This job is hard work, but it’s so rewarding.

“You just have to take your time, do it right, and let the results speak for themselves.”

And when he’s not on the tools? You’ll find him at the gym, cheering on local sporting clubs that he sponsors, or hanging out with his cheeky granddaughter – and probably cracking a joke.

Embracing green, lawn legend, local larrikin, and all-round good bloke, Jason Barrett is the real deal.

When your yard needs a fresh start, trust Get Turfed to bring the green back to your scene.
