What’s The Best Lawn For You?

Quick simple guide in choosing the right lawn for you. Front/Backyard, Shade, dogs, water etc.

Front yards – Wintergreen or Soft Buffalo are the best.

Backyards – as above, however if you have no garden beds or they are well protected, Kikuyu grass is ideal. It’s the easiest lawn to care for, and uses less water and fertiliser.

Shade – Soft Buffalo is the best, but Wintergreen and Kikuyu is good in shade. Just mow higher in winter.

Dogs – all lawns are good, super-active dogs, Kikuyu is the best here as it grows and repairs the fastest. Also possibly you may need to mow higher in the cooler months.
