COMMON TYPES OF TURF

Buffalo Grass:   A native warm-season turf in Australia, is renowned for its plush feel and resilience to arid conditions. To uphold a vibrant Buffalo Grass lawn, it's imperative to select well-drained soil and avoid excessive watering. Maintaining a neat appearance and preventing thatch buildup involves routine mowing at a height of 2-3 inches. Springtime nourishment with a balanced fertilizer sustains growth, and sporadic soil aeration enhances nutrient absorption and overall soil health.

​

Zoysia Grass: An alternative warm-season grass for Australian environments, is known for its dense turf and adaptability. Optimal care includes trimming at a height of 1-2 inches to stimulate lateral growth and deter thatch. While consistent watering is beneficial, allowing the grass to experience dry intervals between irrigations prevents potential diseases. Fertilizing in the late spring and early summer supports vitality, and intermittent dethatching ensures peak health.

​

Couch Grass: Or Bermuda Grass, is a warm-season variety widely embraced in Australia for its refined texture and durability. Sustaining Couch Grass in Australian conditions necessitates routine mowing at 1-2 inches for a manicured aesthetic and effective thatch control. Essential watering is emphasized, with the grass displaying notable resistance to drought. Fertilization in the late spring and early summer preserves its vivid green color, and soil aeration contributes to its robust health.

​

Kikuyu Grass: Originating from East Africa but embraced in Australia, is lauded for its rapid growth and luxuriant green hue. To cultivate a thriving Kikuyu Grass lawn in Australia, it's recommended to regularly mow at a height of 1.5-2 inches, managing thatch and promoting a lush turf. Adequate watering is pivotal, and the grass proves resilient to heavy foot traffic. Spring and early summer fertilization encourages vigorous growth, while periodic dethatching and aeration contribute to the overall well-being of the lawn.
