Ideal for all Aussie conditions, this Buffalo variety makes a great front or back lawn. Austine is shade tolerant and recovers well from wear, thus making this type of turf a great all-purpose lawn with incredible colour.

Sapphire Buffalo

Sapphire Soft-Leaf Buffalo has performance as good as any other buffalo, with the added benefit of fine texture. It grows quickly across the ground, providing quick recovery from wear. It has excellent winter colour, and has a deep root system. It will tolerate 40-70% shade.

Sapphire is fine textured, but does not depend on fine leaves for its fine texture, but its folding leaf. Unlike other fine-leaved buffalo grasses, it does not have thatch problems, shallow roots or poor wear characteristics. It is not slow growing.

ST85 Buffalo

ST85 Buffalo is another fine-leafed dwarf variety, but not quite as fine as the ST91. Once established, it is hard wearing and is a low maintenance lawn. ST85 thrives in full sun but is also one of the most shade tolerant buffalos on the market. In fact, this turf variety can survive if only in the sun for 20% of the day! ST85 is a tightly knitted, great all-purpose lawn.

Soft Leaf Shade Master Buffalo

Soft Leaf Shade Master is a hardy lawn that handles high traffic areas. It grows well in sunny areas and because of its broad soft leaf it can tolerate areas of 60%-80% shade. Shade Master has a thick ground cover which helps prevent the growth of unwanted weeds.

Winter Green Couch

Winter Green Couch is a fine-leafed lawn similar to Greenlees Park, with the main difference being Winter Green handles frost a little better. This turf is most suited to sunny areas and can also handle a position with 10%-20% shade. It can tolerate wear and tear well and is also quite disease resistant. Winter Green Couch is a very deep green colour.

Santa Ana Couch

Santa Ana Couch is the finest of our couch varieties and makes a great disease resistant lawn. Suited to sunny locations or areas with 10%-20% shade throughout the day and best used in high traffic areas such as sporting grounds.

Greenlees Park Couch

Greenlees Park Couch is a fine-leafed dwarf variety of lawn which grows well in dry, sunny to lightly shaded areas.

This turf has a dark green colour and retains this colour well during winter, but will be affected by the frost.

Kikuyu

Kikuyu is a good, hardy, low maintenance lawn, it grows vigorously in the summer months therefore this variety of turf recovers well from wear and tear. Most suitable for high traffic areas. Kikuyu has best results in full sun and does not grow well in the shade.
