Victoria’s dry spells can wreak havoc on lawns, but with the right grass, your lawn can stay green and healthy all year round. That’s why we proudly offer TifTuf Bermuda, a turf that’s not only tough but also incredibly water-efficient.
Victorian summers can turn lawns at Melbourne homes, businesses, and parks into yellow-brown kindling. We knew there had to be a solution, and we found it at the University of Georgia in America. Their agricultural scientists had bred a new Bermuda grass, TifTuf, specifically to withstand extended dry seasons. So we brought it back home.
Once we introduced TifTuf to Australia, we conducted further research and development to cultivate a strain uniquely suited to the local environment.
TifTuf Bermuda grass requires, on average, 38% less water than other species and yet still manages to stay lush and green during summer. Aesthetics aside, drought tolerance will make a huge difference when it comes time to pay your water bill. Plus, the planet will thank you, too.
Thanks to its water efficiency, TifTuf Bermuda grass is the first and only grass in the world to earn the Smart Approved WaterMark certification.
The world’s only Smart Approved WaterMark grass turf.
Lilydale Instant Lawn owns and operates four expansive estates across Victoria. That’s where we grow our drought-tolerant grasses; they’re not imported from other neighbouring states. By operating multiple local turf farms, we can acclimate our turf to the full spectrum of Victorian soil and climate conditions.
In a nutshell, our TifTuf grass will survive on your lawn no matter how dry it gets, and it’ll do so at a significantly lower cost than seeded grass.
We choose to harvest and deliver our drought-tolerant lawn grass turf in thick, dense and uniformly cut slabs. The QWELTS name describes the value of our technique: quick establishing, water saving, easy to lay, long-lasting, thick cut, slabs.
Our tried and trusted technique dramatically improves our grasses’ chances of establishing into a seamless, deeply-rooted thing of beauty, no matter how dry the summer
We can also provide washed turf at your request if you or your grounds team feel that would be more appropriate for your field. Feel free to get in touch for advice on picking between slabs and washed turf, or for our thoughts on more summer-loving grass varieties.
