24.01.2022 Mowing is extremely important in any good turf maintenance program. Mowing needs to change with the seasons, weather, nutrients and many other factors. One rule to follow is never mow more than a third of the leaf at any one time. Grass plants have a growing point where all of the leaves originate. When grass is mowed frequently; that growing point is close to the ground. If grass is allowed to grow too long, the growing point moves up away from the ground. A close mowing at ...that point will cut off the growing point as well the grass blades.If your lawn has not been maintained for a period of time, set your mower height for the first mowing, then gradually lower it back down to optimal mowing height. Frequent mowing at the optimal mowing height for your lawn, will insure that you arent removing too much of the leaf blade and you should be on your way to a lush, healthy lawn without scalping. Your grass should be cut according to the type of lawn. Mow couch between 5mm-30mm height and buffaloes between 30-50 mm .Do not mow if hot weather is expected and avoid cutting the lawn shorter than height required. Always ensure your mower blades are sharp. See more

20.01.2022 Matilda is a semi dwarf leaf Buffalo Lawn. Its texture is so soft to touch and walk on you will never want to wear shoes when you have Matilda in your front & back yard. Matildas leaf has a smooth soft texture both front and back making it the perfect soft lawn for year round use. Matilda brings the indoors outdoors, as its lush soft surface is an inviting play area and entertaining area for both adults and children. Gone are the days of a buffalo Lawn that is harsh and hard to walk on without shoes.

18.01.2022 Sapphire has performance as good as any other Buffalo, with the added benefit of fine texture. It grows quickly across the ground, providing quick recovery from wear, has excellent winter colour, and has a deep root system. Sapphires colour is truly amazing, its deep green colour will make your home lawn, the envy of the street. Not only is Sapphire hard wearing, due to its quick recovery from wear damage, but it is also shade tolerant like all other good varieties of Buff...alo. It is an easy grass to grow. What makes Sapphire different to other Buffalo turf varieties, is its fine texture. Until now, fine textured Buffalos have been slow growing and shallow rooted, but Sapphire is different. We believe it is the on fine textured, quick recovery from wear Buffalo in the world. Sapphire has excellent disease tolerance, and great winter colour. Sapphire does not rely on fine leaves for its fine texture, but its folding leaf. When Sapphire is mature, its leaf folds at tight angles along its axis, resulting in a fine texture. This is important because fine leaf Buffalo varieties usually have thatch problems, are shallow rooted, poor wearing and are slow growing. Sapphire does not suffer with these problems

The good news is that you can still water newly installed lawn for the recommended period as well as your established lawn. Below is Sydney Waters recommendation for watering new lawn: You can water new lawn using: A hand-held hose fitted with a trigger nozzle for up to four weeks from the delivery date, following the watering plan below. This applies to areas of any size. Sprinklers and watering systems for up to four weeks from the delivery date, following the watering plan below. This only applies if you have a continuous area of new turf larger than 30m2. ***Please keep the delivery docket showing the delivery date in case one of Sydney Waters Community Water Officers asks for proof of purchase. Watering plan for new turf: Week 1: Water up to three times a day, for a maximum of 30 minutes each session, at any time of day. Week 2 and 3: Water up to two times a day, for a maximum of 15 minutes each session. You can only water before 10am and after 4pm. Week 4: Water before 10am and after 4pm, for a maximum of 30 minutes, on no more than three days during that week. After week 4: You can only water your lawn following the water restrictions.

Texture Fine compared to other good buffalo varieties. Mechanicals Internode Length 50.4mm average Leaf Width 6.4mm average Leaf Colour Colour green (RHS 137 A) Leaf Length 20.2mm average. Benefits of sapphire Out Competes Weeds Due to Sapphires tight mat and high performance, it leaves very little room for weeds to grow. It is excellent at out competing weeds. In the unlikely event that broadleaf weeds ever become a problem, Sapphire can be sprayed with Bromoxynil and MCPA, as it is resistant to these chemicals. Follow directions on the spray pack. Fast Recovery Sapphire has rapid growth across the ground. This high performance allows it to cope well with high traffic situations. In extra high wear areas it is recommended that you fertilise and water more than normal. Best Looking Buffalo Due to its fine texture and the nice way the leaf sits, Sapphire looks superb. When Sapphire is mature, its leaf tends to fold back, giving a much finer appearance. Sun and Shade Like many buffalos, Sapphire is the answer for those maturing landscapes that have both shady and sunny areas. Less Thatch Sapphire is proving to be less spongy than other Buffalo varieties. Great Winter Colour It takes quite a few frosts to send Sapphire off colour. Drought Tough Sapphire has a very deep root system, which means it can hang on looking great w
