Kikuyu Turf in Toowoomba

Low Maintenance Lawns

If you’re looking for a low-maintenance, hardy turf, then Kikuyu turf could be a great option for you. This is a popular lawn choice for homes and businesses all over Australia, due to its lush green colour, resistance to wear, drought hardiness and ability to survive when neglected by gardeners.


Because Kikuyu turf grows so quickly, it’s an ideal lawn for properties with high foot traffic, or areas that are frequented by pets or children. Any dead patches will usually recover rapidly because the grass is spread via robust rhizomes. In fact, there are few types of grass available that rival Kikuyu turf’s incredible ability to regreen and recolonize damaged patches in lawns.

Growth

Kikuyu is able to grow lush green grass in both the colder and warmer seasons. Extreme frost might lead to browning in some areas, but it will return to its former state once thawed. This type of grass has extremely deep roots, allowing it to thrive in hot weather, and its impressive disease resistance and long growing season ensures your lawn will stay looking lush all year round.

Appearance

Kikuyu grass is identifiable via its hardy runners and broad and coarse leaves that usually measure 25-40mm in length and 4-5mm in width. If your budget is tight, Kikuyu is a great cost-effective option for properties in sunny areas due to its durability.

Homes, Schools & Parks

Kikuyu is famed for its reliable growth in most weather conditions, and although it does not thrive in the shade, it can tolerate a small amount. Due to its rapid growth, it will need to be mowed more regularly than some other grass varieties, but its vigorous growth makes it an extremely popular choice for residential properties, school grounds and community parks. 

Preparation

Its long roots can also limit any erosion that might occur on steep banks, so if you are looking for turf that will withstand the test of time, Kikuyu could be the best choice for you. In order to get the best possible results from your Kikuyu turf, it’s a good idea to prepare the ground it is to be laid on. This may include levelling, rotary hoeing and spraying.
