Kikuyu Grass


Kikuyu grass is one of the most popular and widely used turf varieties in Australia, and with good reason. Known for its vigorous growth, vibrant green colour, and strong wear resistance, Kikuyu is well-suited to the Ulladulla climate. This warm-season turf flourishes in full sun and is particularly beneficial for large open spaces that receive high traffic.

 

Its fast-growing habit allows Kikuyu to quickly establish and cover bare areas, making it a practical solution for families with children and pets, as well as sports facilities or community grounds. It naturally forms a dense mat that provides a soft, even surface underfoot and helps suppress weed growth.

 

Kikuyu’s resilience doesn’t stop at foot traffic. This variety is known for its impressive drought tolerance, making it ideal for the Ulladulla region where dry spells are common. While it thrives in sun, it's worth noting that Kikuyu does not perform as well in shaded areas.

 

Key Benefits:

  • Rapid establishment and spreading ability
  • Durable and self-repairing in high-traffic areas
  • Excellent drought resistance once established
  • Natural weed control through dense coverage
  • Ideal for family lawns, schoolyards, and recreational areas

Palmetto Buffalo Turf


For lawns that receive limited sun or require a more refined finish, Palmetto Buffalo turf offers a premium solution. This soft-leaf Buffalo variety is known for its luxurious appearance and ability to perform well in partially shaded environments. Requiring as little as 2–3 hours of sunlight per day, Palmetto is ideal for properties with tree coverage, surrounding structures, or fencing that limits full sun access.

 

Its wide, soft blades create a rich, green carpet that is gentle underfoot, perfect for homes with young children or pets. Palmetto Buffalo also offers year-round colour retention and is less prone to thatch build-up compared to other Buffalo varieties, making it a low-maintenance yet visually appealing choice.

 

This turf variety is slower growing than Kikuyu, meaning it requires less frequent mowing, and it retains moisture efficiently, reducing the need for constant watering. Palmetto is also less invasive, making it easier to maintain along garden borders and landscaped edges.

 

Key Benefits:

  • Outstanding shade tolerance (2–3 hours of sun daily)
  • Soft texture and consistent deep green colour
  • Reduced mowing and watering requirements
  • Lower invasiveness for easy border management
  • Ideal for residential lawns, courtyards, and shaded outdoor areas

Essential Turf Preparation Practices


Getting your lawn ready for new turf is essential to ensure strong root establishment and long-lasting results. Here are five important steps to prepare your lawn:


  1. Remove Existing Grass: Clear away any old grass, weeds and debris to create a clean slate for your new turf.
  2. Test the Soil: Check the soil’s pH level and nutrient content to ensure it’s suitable for turf growth.
  3. Improve Soil Quality: Add compost or topsoil to enhance soil fertility and create an ideal growing environment.
  4. Level the Ground: Smooth out the surface of your lawn to eliminate dips and bumps for an even turf installation.
  5. Water the Soil: Lightly water the soil to moisten it before laying the turf, promoting better root contact.


When your lawn is prepared, our Ulladulla turfing team will handle the vital installation step. Reach out today to book a service.

  • How can I prevent my turf from fading?

    To prevent your turf from fading, ensure it receives adequate water, especially during dry spells, and avoid overwatering which can cause root rot. Regularly fertilise your lawn with a balanced fertiliser to provide essential nutrients. Mow your grass at the recommended height, and avoid cutting too short as this can stress the turf. Lastly, address any pest or disease issues promptly to maintain a vibrant lawn.



  • What is the ideal height my new turf grass should be kept at?

    The ideal height for your new turf grass generally ranges between 3-5 centimetres, depending on the turf variety. Keeping the grass at this height helps to protect the roots, retain moisture and promote healthy growth. Avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass blade at any one time to prevent stressing the turf and ensure a lush, green lawn.

  • Which turf variety is better for shaded areas in Ulladulla?

    Palmetto Buffalo Turf is the better choice for shaded locations. It requires minimal sunlight—just a few hours per day—and maintains healthy growth and colour even in areas with limited light. Kikuyu, while hardy, thrives best in open, sunlit spaces and may become sparse in shaded zones.

  • How long does it take for new turf to be established after installation?

    Generally, both Kikuyu and Palmetto Buffalo turf varieties take between 2 to 4 weeks to establish. Factors such as soil preparation, climate, and watering frequency can affect establishment time. During this period, consistent watering is essential, and foot traffic should be minimised to promote strong root development.

  • What is the best time of year to lay new turf in Ulladulla?

    The optimal time for laying turf in Ulladulla is during the warmer months—typically from spring through early autumn. These seasons provide the warmth and soil conditions that help turf roots grow quickly. Kikuyu benefits especially from higher temperatures, while Palmetto Buffalo can be laid year-round with proper watering and care.

  • How often should I water my new turf after installation?

    Water your new turf daily for the first 2 to 3 weeks after installation, or more frequently if the weather is hot and dry. The goal is to keep the turf moist until it fully roots. After this establishment phase, watering can be adjusted based on the turf type and seasonal rainfall. Kikuyu may need more frequent watering during droughts, whereas Palmetto retains moisture efficiently and may need less.

  • How do I maintain my Kikuyu or Palmetto Buffalo turf long-term?

    Both varieties benefit from seasonal lawn care routines. Kikuyu should be mowed regularly and fertilised every 2–3 months to manage its fast growth. It’s also a good idea to edge it routinely, as it can spread aggressively. Palmetto Buffalo is lower maintenance, requiring less mowing and slower regrowth. However, it also benefits from occasional fertilising and lawn health checks for pests or diseases. Annual aeration and topdressing will help keep both turf types healthy and resilient.

  • Can I install turf myself, or do I need a professional?

    Turf installation can be a DIY project if you’re confident with soil preparation, levelling, and watering schedules. However, for larger areas or optimal results, professional installation is recommended. This ensures even laying, proper irrigation planning, and faster establishment, especially for clients seeking low maintenance and long-term performance from their turf in Ulladulla.
