Turf Types

  • Sir Walter Buffalo

    Sir Walter Buffalo is one of the most popular turfs for residential properties in Perth, especially for families with children and pets. This soft, durable grass stays lush and green year-round, thriving in both full sun and shaded areas. Its broad leaves and shallow roots create dense coverage that helps prevent weeds, while its non-invasive growth pattern allows for fast repair without spreading aggressively. Sir Walter Buffalo requires average watering and remains active throughout the year, slowing slightly in winter. A rotary mower can be used for maintenance, and during warmer months its faster growth may require more frequent mowing.

  • Palmetto Buffalo

    Palmetto Buffalo is a popular choice for residential gardens thanks to its low-maintenance nature and soft, comfortable feel underfoot, making it ideal for family lawns. This hard-wearing turf thrives in both sun and shade while maintaining its vibrant emerald green colour all year. Its wide-bladed leaves and spreading runners create a dense, lush lawn that resists weeds, yet is easy to remove from unwanted areas. Palmetto Buffalo produces a low seed head, making it a great option for allergy sufferers, and requires less watering, fertilising and mowing once established. A rotary mower can be used for easy upkeep.

  • Matilda Soft Buffalo

    Matilda Soft Buffalo is a popular choice for coastal properties and areas around pools due to its tolerance of salt and pests. Its extra-soft leaves make it ideal for lawns under play equipment, providing a comfortable surface for children. This low-maintenance, hard-wearing turf grows well in both sun and shade and establishes quickly thanks to its deep, fast-growing roots, reducing early watering needs and encouraging rapid repair. Its dense growth discourages weeds, and being less invasive, it stays neat and manageable. Matilda Soft Buffalo is best maintained with a rotary mower and requires average mowing time.

  • Village Green Kikuyu

    Village Green Kikuyu is a hardy, fast-growing turf ideal for high-traffic areas, making lawn repair quicker than with other varieties. It’s a popular choice for families with active dogs, as it withstands wear and tear, though it is an invasive turf and requires regular maintenance to stay under control. Thriving in 5–6 hours of sunlight daily, its dense growth helps prevent weeds. Village Green Kikuyu performs best with regular mowing using a cylinder mower, ensuring a neat, durable lawn.

  • Winter Green Couch

    Winter Green Couch is a cost-effective, hard-wearing turf that remains visually appealing year-round, maintaining its vibrant emerald green even during the colder months. Its dense, fast-growing nature provides a lush, bowling-green appearance, making it a favourite among lawn enthusiasts who can maintain it properly. As an invasive turf, it requires regular care to stay under control. Winter Green Couch thrives with at least four hours of sunlight daily and can also grow under filtered shade. For best results, it should be mowed regularly using a cylinder mower.

  • Empire Zoysia

    Empire Zoysia is one of the easiest turfs to maintain once established, making it ideal for gardeners with limited time. Its slow growth means it requires minimal mowing and fertilising, though it takes longer to establish and repairs more slowly than other varieties. Empire Zoysia is hard-wearing, drought-tolerant, and sports a rich, dark green colour. It tolerates shade in low-traffic areas but performs best in sunny, warmer spots, as high-traffic shaded areas may struggle. Known for its low-maintenance qualities, Empire Zoysia can be easily mowed with a rotary mower.
