Buffalo is a beautiful soft leaf variety that, once established, provides a lush surface that is pleasant to walk on, boasts vibrant color, and exhibits excellent drought tolerance. This grass type requires a manageable level of care, similar to other turf varieties throughout the year.
Couch turf is one of the most recognized varieties of turf, fondly remembered by many Australians for the fun it provided during childhood play. With its finer leaf structure compared to Buffalo and Kikuyu turf, it stands out as a resilient choice that thrives in drought conditions. While it may lose some vibrancy in the winter months, Couch turf makes a strong recovery as spring arrives, returning to its lush appearance.
Kikuyu is probably the toughest, as it thrives in summer. It is an invasive grass, so best suited to areas where there is a barrier between lawn and garden beds. Great for both front and back lawns, and will tolerate all the kids can throw at it. If you have dogs that like to dig a little, this is the one to go for.
