Lawn turf

Different grasses will thrive in different settings. Some grasses, for example, cope better in the shade — which is quite important if you have a garden that seldom sees direct sunlight. Other turfs are better equipped to endure frequent foot traffic.

Our approach is simple: we talk to our customers about their needs, and help them find the grass that best suits their circumstances.

‍

We stock several different varieties of lawn turf, all of which will thrive in the Victorian environment.

• Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo: A hardy turf that will tolerate conditions like frost, drought and heat. Additionally, it can handle being in the shade.
• Eureka Kikuyu Premium VG: This turf has been specifically grown in Victoria to best suit local conditions. Compared to other grasses, it requires less water and nutrients. It is a particularly aggressive grower, and will need attentive mowing.
• Tif Tuf Grass: As indicated by the name, this grass is tough. If you've got a high traffic area in your garden — a yard, for example, where children and pets run amok — then this might be the right choice for your family.
• Sir Grange: A newer lawn on the market, Sir Grange was originally intended for golf courses. It is fairly low maintenance, and has the premium, dark green look that you'd expect from its golfing heritage.

Laying turf isn't like laying a rug; you can't just pop it down on the ground and leave it at that. For one, you'll need to water the turf (without letting it dry out) for at least a month. A sign that the watering is working is that the turf will become more difficult to pull up from the ground.

Fully establishing your new turf can take up to three quarters of a year. There are several considerations that you'll need to be mindful of. For example:

• Keep off the grass for at least the first four weeks, as too much traffic on your new turf is liable to damage it.
• Ensure that the turf has bound to the soil before you attempt your first mow.
• Use a lawn fertiliser after six weeks.

There are advantages and disadvantages to both rolling out turf, and planting grass seed. Laying turf is a much quicker process, requires less technical skill and effort, and is a better way of ensuring beautiful, even grass.
