Surely we can all agree that a house just isn’t a home without a stunning backyard lawn. Well, no matter the size of your family or how busy your lifestyle is, we’ve got a range of stunning fine-leaf turf species that’ll suit you just fine.
Fine-leaf grasses are prized for their sleek, narrow blades and refined look. But their appeal goes beyond aesthetics:
Our fine-leaf turf varieties — TifTuf Bermuda, and Sir Grange Zoysia — are designed to offer both beauty and practicality. With their fine blades and rich green hues, they create a luxurious, manicured look while standing up to the demands of everyday life.
Check out the stats on our two fine-leaf turf recommendations: Bermuda and Zoysia grass. These two locally-grown grasses thrive in Melbourne’s climate and soil conditions.
The value of fine-leaf turf lies in its appearance. Kept short and maintained well, your lawn will treat you to that glistening sheen you only ever see on well-manicured bowling greens and show homes. Our two recommendations will get you that effect, but their other attributes might help you pick between them.
Sir Grange Zoysia is the cream of the crop. It is a purely ornamental grass designed to be looked at — not touched. This slow-growing beauty requires minimal mowing and gives you fine-leaf dark green grass in the warmer months.
TifTuf Bermuda’s fine leaves are not only luxuriously soft, but they’re also extraordinarily drought tolerant. In fact, TifTuf is the only grass in the world to be certified with the Smart Approved WaterMark.
While all of our fine leaf turfs are well-suited to Melbourne’s soil and climate conditions, each one has its own maintenance requirements. The biggest difference lies between fine-leaf ornamental grass and functional grass, as ornamentals typically need closer attention if pristine perfection is your goal.
