| Video Discription | Perhaps your garden has taken off and your trees and shrubs have shot up in the past few years and you’ve now got too much shade. Or your kids have become more active and are placing greater wear on your lawn. Whatever the reason, what was once an ideal lawn for your yard is now not suitable for the environment or its uses. Here’s a guide to help you decide on a turf to replace your existing lawn or for a new home that will look good and suit your family’s requirements. Location The first thing to consider is your location. For example, if you live close to the coast you may have noticed that your current lawn doesn’t cope well with salt. Therefore, you need to look for a variety that can tolerate salt. Or you may live in an increasingly warmer climate and have found that your lawn doesn’t cope very well with drought. In this case, you’d be best served by a lawn that can cope better with dry conditions. Use Once you determine what types of lawns are suitable in your area you can look at what you’ll be using your lawn for. For example, will it be purely for show, or do you have kids and/or a dog that will make it a high-traffic area. Shade How much sun and shade you get is critical to the success of your lawn. If your neighbour has added a second floor to their home or their trees have grown substantially since you installed your lawn, you may have to reconsider the variety you have to get the best result. If you have full sun all day then you can choose almost any variety, but shade tolerance becomes very important with reduced hours of sunlight. Remember though that all varieties will struggle in heavily shaded areas. Water use Drought tolerance may have become a more important issue for you in recent times. Varieties such as Sir Grange and TifTuf have excellent drought tolerance. Couches, most soft leaf buffaloes and zoysias are similar in most areas for water usage. Kikuyu needs a bit more water to maintain a reasonable appearance. Note drought tolerance and water usage are not the same. Some grasses will survive in extreme conditions with minimal water, but not look their best, while others will look better for longer, but can die without adequate water. Wear and tear More cars or people at home will lead to heavier wear and tear, therefore a faster growing lawn that self-repairs quickly might be best for you. More traffic will result in more compaction, especially with clay-based soils, causing stress and damage to any lawn. If you’re putting in a new lawn remember that regular aeration should be a key component of your maintenance plan. Turf Variety Examples Sir Grange is a showpiece type of lawn with a deep green, fine leaf. This zoysia tolerates shaded areas very well and has reduced maintenance requirements. Sir Grange suits lawn lovers who want the best of the best. #sirgrangezoysia Sir Walter DNA Certified is the number one buffalo lawn in Australia. This broad-leafed variety thrives in all types of weather, from frost to drought. It’s also relatively low maintenance. #sirwalterbuffalo TifTuf has a fine, soft leaf, however this is one tough lawn.
