All turf varieties require some level of maintenance in order to give you the best lawn possible. You may find either of our Buffalo varieties – Palmetto or Sapphire – easier to maintain. Once established, they are more tolerant to shade and drought, they have a great colour all year round, and a beautiful soft-leaf texture. They require less mowing, depending on the conditions, and less watering than other turf varieties.

That depends on how you want it to look and feel, how much maintenance you can do, and what your budget is. Ask us for a free consultation and quote.

Yes, just like we need food to stay healthy and strong, so does your lawn. We recommend using a complete lawn fertiliser in early April and early September and then a slow-release fertiliser in December/January.
