Consider Your Site

Before doing anything else, examine your environment. Any common grasses that can tolerate the weather conditions in your region should provide decent results if there aren’t any unique difficulties. In some cases, other species may be able to adapt more successfully to your unique situation, for example, where there is a lack of water, heavy shade or high salinity. Below are the best species based on different site difficulties.

Low-Input Areas

Buffalo turf is an excellent option for low-input areas that are difficult to supply with water and fertiliser. You may also use Fine-Leaf fescues on low-input sites.

Shaded Areas

Fine-leaf fescues (Creeping Red and Chewings) are the best for shaded locations with less sunshine.

High-Traffic Areas

High-traffic areas, such as commercial landscapes and sports clubs, or even multi-family residences, can benefit from mixtures of Kentucky Bluegrass and Perennial Ryegrass. Due to their quick recovery.

Salty Areas

Because of its strong tolerance for salt, Seashore Paspalum is an excellent choice for areas along the coast that are exposed to salt or where very salty effluent water is utilised for irrigating purposes.

Residential Gardens

Kings Pride Buffalo

Kings Pride Buffalo is the ideal grass for Hunter Valley lawns. This is because it has an attractive appearance, requires very little care compared to other types of Soft-Leaf Buffalo grass, and does not spread into nearby garden beds. As it produces less thatch than other Buffalo turfs, Kings Pride can be mowed easier and maintained at shorter, denser heights. Due to its deep root system, this Buffalo turf can easily withstand dry periods and water restrictions.

Kikuyu

Among Hunter Valley homeowners, Kikuyu grass turfs are highly regarded for their dense, green growth, minimal maintenance requirements and ability to thrive in the region’s hot, sunny climate. You can grow this plant almost anywhere, and as long as you give it the minimal upkeep it needs, it will always look fresh, no matter how much time the children or dogs spend playing on it.
