Australians love grass because a lush green lawn makes every home look amazing. There are a variety of natural turfs which are popular in Australia including Soft Leaf Buffalo, Zoysia, Kikuyu and Couch. They all vary in price so depending on the size of your lawn, your sunlight conditions and your budget, we can help you to decide which turf is best for you.
A popular choice for turf in Newcastle is Sir Walter Buffalo. It’s a very resilient soft leaf turf that looks great all year round. Sir Walter Buffalo was actually developed in the Hunter Valley for Australian conditions so it is drought resistant and requires low maintenance.
Another great thing about Sir Walter is that it requires less watering compared to other turf varieties. This is better for the environment and also reduces your watering consumption which saves you money.
In hot weather it is important to water your turf correctly. Frequent light watering will encourage shallow root systems that are prone to drying out. Shallow roots don’t have access to moisture that is retained deeper underground. Deep watering helps the lawn survive hotter temperatures by encouraging the roots to go deeper into the soil where moisture will be retained as the surface soil dries out.
