A general guide for Perth conditions, drawn from turf-breeder trials and supplier guidance. Varieties within each type differ, and we'll confirm the best fit on site. "Water saving" for artificial grass means no lawn irrigation at all.
The varieties
Water Corporation recommends warm-season grasses for WA: they grow best in the heat and use less water than cool-season types. All three of ours are warm-season.
Client favourite
The most popular buffalo our clients choose. A tough, soft-leaf buffalo that grows Australia-wide, holds excellent winter colour and can generally out-compete weeds once established.
A fine, dense, sun-loving lawn with excellent wear and recovery. Ideal for open, sunny yards that see plenty of play. Wants full sun and regular mowing.
The tough all-rounder for big, busy, sunny spaces: kids, dogs and heavy traffic. Vigorous growth means it repairs itself quickly, and needs regular mowing and edging.
All our turf comes from Greenfields Turf Farm and Bullsbrook Turf Supplies in Perth.
