Lawns are an important garden feature for most Australian homeowners. They provide a place to play, exercise and spend time with family. However, lawns can be difficult to maintain and keep looking great if you choose the wrong type of grass.
If you're looking for an excellent turf variety to add to your garden, then Buffalo turf is one of the best options. Here are the five main benefits this type of lawn will provide for your garden.
1. Reduced weed growth
Weeding is possibly the most tedious and time-consuming gardening tasks of all. Weeds can also spoil the look of your lawn and create unsightly bare patches where they've been removed or poisoned. Buffalo turf is an excellent choice if you'd prefer to enjoy your lawn instead of dealing with weeds. Buffalo turf has a dense thatch that hugs the ground tightly. This restricts weed growth by robbing them of the sunlight they need to thrive.
2. Reduced water needs
Buffalo turf has been designed for use in the sometimes harsh Australian climate. It's drought resistant, tough and hardy and requires very little water to thrive. It's ideal for use in regions that have hot, dry summers or experience water restrictions that make watering the lawn off limits for part or all of the year.
3. Reduced mowing requirements
Another huge benefit to choosing Buffalo turf for your garden is that it requires significantly less mowing than many other grass varieties. Buffalo turf is slow growing and its blades tend to spread out horizontally instead of growing upward. This makes it an excellent choice if you don't have a lot of time for garden maintenance or you have a large lawn that is time-consuming to mow.
4. Reduced wear and tear
If you want a lawn that can withstand the often vigorous activities of kids and pets, then Buffalo turf is the ultimate choice. It's robust and durable blades are resistant to regular and heavy foot traffic and the horizontal spread of the thatch will quickly repair and cover and divots or worn patches.
5. Reduced winter browning
For a lawn that stays fresh and green all year round, Buffalo turf is also an excellent choice. Many grass varieties will start to brown during the winter months due to a reduction in sunlight. Buffalo turf will stay a consistent colour, even during very cold winters or periods of prolonged overcast weather.
I love the taste of fresh fruit and have always encouraged my kids to enjoy fruit and vegetables too. When we moved into our new home a couple of years back, we wanted to change the landscaping design to include lots of fruit trees, but I had never grown these trees before. I am so excited to share what I learned about adding fruit trees to our garden. From choosing the right type of tree to the care they need, my blog will help you to become a fruit tree grower too. It does not matter how many trees you plan to plant as just one is all you need to give your family the thrill of producing something healthy.
