Over the past decade, we’ve installed acres upon acres of Eureka Premium VG Kikuyu at Moama Waters, a turf variety that will ensure grass surfaces are robust enough to sustain busy holiday park traffic and camping activity for the long term.

How long does turf take to grow?

Depending on the time of year, your new instant lawn will be ready for its first mow after about 4 weeks. You’ll know your lawn is established when its root system is attached enough to prevent you from pulling it away from the ground and you have given it a couple of mows.

Is Buffalo better than couch for my backyard in Echuca?

Buffalo and Couch are two of the most popular choices of turf varieties in Echuca and are both sought after for their all round performance and durability, in particular, their low water requirements, drought tolerance, ability to self repair if damaged and of course their gorgeous good looks!

Couch grasses perform best in areas with full sun access, needing a minimum of 5-6 hours in direct sun to flourish.

In contrast, Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo’s broad leaf means it is able to absorb sunlight more readily and can thrive of a minimum of 3-4 hours of direct light, making it one of the most shade tolerant turf types on the market.

Couch grass varieties have a superior repair response to damage than Buffalo, but its aggressive growth habit means higher maintenance.

Both have a solid tolerance to drought and should only be watered when needed. If you need more help deciding which grass type is right for you, check out our blog
