Featured Turf
- Low maintenance – Good for large gardens
- EMPIRE™ Turf grows Australia Wide and provides a lawn grass which is easy to look after.
- It has a relatively fine leaf which is soft to touch, excellent wear tolerance and thrives in extreme heat and humidity.
- EMPIRE™ is good in the shade and keeps a good winter colour and it can generally outcompete the weeds once established.
- EMPIRE™ ZOYSIA generally requires less watering & less mowing than any other commercially grown lawn in Australia.
- Performs well in full sun, yet thrives in shaded areas where other grasses fail. A Palmetto Buffalo Lawn requires 2 to 4 hours of direct sunlight. No grass can survive in extreme shade, but Palmetto is better than others.
- Palmetto has the best winter active growth so it is less likely to drop out in shaded areas in winter. Winter is when most shaded lawn areas fail.
- A Palmetto Buffalo Lawn has a massive deep root system, making it more drought resistant. Palmetto Buffalo Grass is the efficient water user.
- Palmetto stays greener longer in dry conditions, making it the most likely lawn of all to stay green all year round.
- Palmetto Buffalo grass has a very soft leaf, and unlike older traditional scratchy Buffalo lawn's, is not likely to irritate tender young kids.
- Palmetto Buffalo Grass has excellent fast growth across the ground. Its runners are fast and highly branching, which provides excellent recovery from wear.
- Although Palmetto Buffalo Grass grows across the ground at a fast rate, its upwards leaf growth is less than most other Buffalo grass varieties. One of the main reasons people buy Buffalo is that it requires less mowing.
- Great at Out Competing Weeds.
- Less Thatch, Less Scalping - Palmetto Buffalo Grass is known for its ability to create a dense sward without major thatch problem. Palmetto Buffalo Grass rarely scalps when being mowed, allowing people to almost always have a green lawn.
- Disease & Pest Tolerance - Palmetto Buffalo Grass has good tolerance to gray leaf spot, and other diseases and is more resistant to pests such as lawn grub.
