We’ve designed the best grass turf for race tracks

A boast, yes, but one that our results back up. While we grow several turf varietals, we’ve shortlisted our sand-based Kikuyu, which we feel is the best option. Here are its key specifications — you can download the full specs doc further down the page.

Developed specifically for the Victorian climate, our Eureka Premium turf is an excellent choice for any medium or high-traffic lawn areas.

  • High Temperature
  • Drought Tolerance
  • Close Mowing
  • Nutrient Requirement
  • Frost
  • Wear Tolerance

Custom-blended racecourse grass

We grow four turf species and can blend them in any combination to bolster their qualities to better suit your needs. We can also acquire and harvest warm and cool-season grass species that we don’t typically offer in order to create one-off blends for large-scale projects. 

In our experience, a Kikuyu, Kentucky Bluegrass and perennial ryegrass blend creates an all-season, all-weather, self-healing grass turf that’s perfect for horse racing tracks.

We grow all of our turf, including the custom blends, in a sand medium to improve their drainage capabilities.
