Moderate-Wear-Tolerance Grasses

Look, we get it. Most people don’t obsess over turf the way we do. Sometimes, you just want a pretty, resilient and reliable turf for your home, and you don’t want to overthink it. Fair enough. Here are three Victoria-grown, easy-care turfs for a bit of backyard sports, Sunday BBQs, and the occasionally tended vege patch.

Our moderate-wear lawn grasses are a reliable favourite

Choosing the right turf grass for your Melbourne lawn is as much a practical decision as it is an aesthetic one. You want grass that’ll be easy to maintain but stay lush and stunning all year round. The three turfs we’ve listed will fit that criteria perfectly.

Your new moderate-wear grasses will need daily watering for the first 3-6 weeks as they establish, but maintenance will become a lot easier after that. Check out our seasonal lawn maintenance guide for advice.

How do you choose between high-, low- and moderate-wear-tolerance grasses? Well, high-wear turf is ideal for high-traffic sportsfields and public parks; low-wear turf is ornamental and should not be walked on; but moderate-wear turf balances hard-wearing resilience with emerald appeal and low maintenance needs — a great choice for practically any lawn in Victoria.
