I have installed Santa anna and Conquest couch, Sapphire/surwalter and the zoyasa japonica… cant remeber the name… and Kikuyu.
The Eureka Kikuyu roll out is by far the best… well… for most people.
the Couchs are good… but yellow up very easily in cold conditions.
Buffalo (sirwalter etc…) does not wear well, gets chewed up easy.
The Eureka stays green most of the year… requires more mowing, but not alot of water… January/Febuary…
It looks good mowed with great colour… and it is infertile… it seed, so while it will creep… you wont get it popping up where you didnt expect it.
That said… Im keen to use Wallaby Grass in a job. get it Hydro sprayed… its a native grass. I think it is worth a go.
I thought it may have just had something to do with the cold, but yellow normally means the N def in plants, so wondered whether to hit it with the weed n feed.
A week after laying a small patch of Sir Walter, and watering it in, it really needs a mow.
I’m supposed to wait two weeks to mow it, but I feel like it will be a jungle if I wait that long.
Happy overall with how my lawn has turned out, but there’s a corner that gets very little light so it’s struggling.
Wondering if I should add clover?
Something else?
Edit: Oh, my question from months ago.
That was just about the first mow.
We have a lot of trees/plants that need a lot of regular pruning, which I can’t be arsed doing.
So the gardeners just quickly do that patch as well as the other stuff.
