Lush, Vibrant, Low-Maintenance Turf

Kikuyu grass is a popular lawn grass in Australia, especially on the South Coast of NSW, Eurobodalla, Bega and Shoalhaven. It is drought tolerant and relatively low maintenance, making it a good choice for homeowners who want a lush green lawn without having to spend a lot of time watering and fertilising it. Kikuyu grass also thrives in hot weather, making it a good choice for areas that experience a lot of sun.

Caring For Kikuyu Grass Turf

Caring for Kikuyu grass turf is relatively straightforward, thanks to its hardy nature, but it still requires regular attention to maintain its best appearance. It should be mowed regularly to keep the grass at an optimal height of around 3-5 cm, which helps prevent thatch build-up and encourages healthy growth. Watering the turf deeply but infrequently will allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings to promote deep root development.
