Why Zoysia Australis

A hardy zoysia with a striking blue-green leaf

A tough, medium-textured zoysia bred at the University of Georgia, the same program behind TifTuf. It establishes fast, copes with kids and pets, and brings shade tolerance and a soft medium leaf where other grasses struggle.

  • Good shade tolerance for a versatile, usable lawn
  • Good wear tolerance and recovery for a zoysia
  • Soft, medium leaf in a distinctive green-blue colour
  • Fast establishment, one of the quickest zoysias to strike
  • Strong rhizomes and a deep root system
  • Less mowing required, with good disease resistance
Laying your new lawn

From bare ground to lawn in three steps

1
Prepare the ground

Kill off the old grass and weeds, level the surface, and spread a layer of quality turf underlay or soil.

2
Lay the turf

Lay it fresh on the day it arrives. Stagger the joints like brickwork, butt the rolls up tight, then roll or tamp it down.

3
Water in

Water deeply straight after laying, then keep it moist daily for the first 2 to 3 weeks while the roots take.

Questions

Good to know

How is it delivered, and how fresh is it?+
It is cut to order and delivered fresh from the farm, sold by the square metre. Have your ground ready so you can lay it the same day it arrives.
How soon can I mow it?+
Wait until the turf has rooted down and no longer lifts when you tug a corner, usually around 2 to 3 weeks. Australis establishes quickly, so it is often ready on the earlier side.
Will it grow in shade?+
Yes. Zoysia Australis has good shade tolerance, so it works in part-shaded yards as well as full sun. It still needs a few hours of light.
How much water does it need?+
Water deeply right after laying, then daily for the first 2 to 3 weeks. Its deep root system helps it handle dry spells once established.
Is it under warranty?+
It is grown by an AusGAP certified producer, which assures turf quality and purity. Reach out before ordering if you would like the current warranty details for this variety.
