Backyards in Melbourne’s tightly-packed suburbs and lawns in tree-filled parks often struggle to get enough sun for grass to grow properly. But is there a grass that will grow in full shade? Depends on how you take care of it. We can help.
Understanding the light needs of shade-tolerant grass
Even the most shade-tolerant grasses still need some sunlight to thrive. Our Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo and TifTuf Bermuda are both excellent options for shady Melboune suburbs: they require 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day to stay healthy and green. You might consider Eureka Premium VG Kikuyu, but keep in mind it needs a bit more sun — around 6-8 hours daily — to maintain its lush appearance.
The key to growing grass in shaded areas is striking the right balance between sunlight and care. By choosing the right turf and providing proper maintenance, you can enjoy a vibrant lawn whether you live in Melbourne’s crowded inner suburbs or Victoria’s canopy-shaded valleys.

The three best grasses for full-shade lawns
Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo and TifTuf Bermuda are our most shade-tolerant turfs, needing only 5-6 hours of sunlight a day.
Is there such a thing as full-shade grass?
If this page is about full-shade grasses, why did we recommend three grasses that need sunlight? Because there’s no such thing as genuinely full-shade grass. All grass types require at least a few hours of direct (or even dappled) sunlight to photosynthesise.
The Buffalo, Bermuda and Kikuyu grasses we’ve recommended are extremely hardy and need significantly less sunlight per day than most other cultivars. But they do need some. Still, they’re excellent choices if you want to grow a lawn in a sun-deprived area or if you’re worried about your lawns surviving under consistent cloud cover and in winter.

How to grow grass in full shade areas
Growing grass in full-shade conditions isn’t easy —it’s impossible in most cases, since most grass cultivars need at least a few hours of direct sunlight per day. But impossible in most cases doesn’t mean its impossible in all. The first thing you need to do is determine whether the full-shade area you have in mind receives enough indirect sunlight to support flora. Consider the following points.
- Is there any grass growing in the area currently? Even rough patches of it?
- Do weeds grow in the area?
- Is there moss growing in the area?
If there are signs of floral life, then it’s possible that the area gets enough sunlight to support grass. To give your grass the best chance at surviving, we strongly recommend you choose mature instant turf that already has a strong root system. Once installed, don’t overwater it (moisture won’t evaporate as fast in the shade) and only mow it every 4-6 weeks, and never cut more than a third of the blade length when you do. Longer leaves will let it photosynthesise as much sun as possible while it establishes.
