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:
- TifTuf BermudaOne of our favourites: this fine-leaf stunner is extremely hard-wearing while being soft as a feather.
- Eureka Premium VG KikuyuThe 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.

How to make your lawn grass more wear-tolerant
Tough as our grasses are, they need a little tender loving care to ensure they reach their full potential. Here are a few key care instructions you need to know to make your new turf as wear-tolerant as possible.
- It’ll take 3-6 weeks for your Bermuda and Kikuyu grass to be ready for high traffic. Keep traffic to a minimum during its establishing period.
- Mow your turf once a week in spring and summer and once every two weeks in autumn. It likely won’t need any mowing when it goes dormant in winter.
- Treat your turf to a premium lawn fertiliser. Browse our online store or ask us for recommendations.
- Make sure you read through our seasonal lawn care guide so you know exactly how to keep your grass in perfect health.
