High-Wear-Tolerance Grass

Backyards, public parks and playgrounds are made for sprinting feet, pounding paws, slicing bike tyres and the chaos of weekend sports. How do you find a turf grass that can keep up with all of that? Well, we’ve got two highly wear-tolerant grasses that you ought to know about:

1. TifTuf Bermuda
   One of our favourites: this fine-leaf stunner is extremely hard-wearing while being soft as a feather.
2. Eureka Premium VG Kikuyu
   The thickness of this Kikuyu variety not only lets it withstand thundering foot traffic, but also helps it strangle weeds before they burst through.

What makes our grasses so reliably wear-resistant?

Our Bermuda and Kikuyu turfs have been cultivated to stress several qualities, but their wear resistance comes down to two: a dense growth pattern and a deep root system.

The thickness of the turf mat gives it the strength needed to withstand heavy foot traffic and rough play; it takes a lot for these turfs to show damage. But if they do get ripped up, their dense growth pattern will stitch itself up in no time.

We cultivate our turfs on four self-run Victorian estates, giving them time to develop their strength. Once they’re ready, we harvest them in thick slabs using our unique QWELTS technique to keep their healthy roots intact.

Oh, and before we forget — the turfs we’ve recommended here aren’t just hard-wearing; they’re soft as clouds and perfect for laying back in for a bit of reading or cloud-watching.
