Turf Varieties
Blue Couch
A popular choice for Queensland gardens. Blue couch is widely naturalised throughout the coastal areas of Northern New South Wales and Queensland and is best adapted to sandy and acidic soils.
It can tolerate low soil fertility, but responds well to added fertiliser.
It has good drought and wear tolerance, but is not recommended for shady areas.
It grows best in full sun areas and thrives if watered and fertilised regularly.
It is a medium-textured turf and is soft underfoot. it responds well to being mown short (15-30mms)
One advantage of this grass is that it does not produce underground rhizomes and is therefore less invasive of garden beds.
This variety of grass is well suited to lawns, bowling greens and sports fields.
Blue couch is the ideal turf for the sunny areas around your house such as the front yard and entertaining areas, as a beautiful dark lawn is achieved year round with a minimal amount of lawn maintenance
