Choosing the right variety of lawn for your garden can be a difficult decision, but Neville reveals the best types to suit your garden and lifestyle.

Featured Product: Palmetto Soft Leaf Buffalo, Stenotaphrum secundatum ?SS100?

• Palmetto Buffalo Grass is a tough, soft leaf Buffalo that is available Australia wide. This turf can generally out-compete weeds once it is established.
• Palmetto Buffalo Grass generally requires less watering and less mowing than most other turf varieties available in Instant Turf rolls or slabs, and in Viro-Cell Lawn for patch up.
• Palmetto is a fantastic all year round grass, as it has a lovely summer colour and the best winter colour of all the soft buffalo turfs.
• A big advantage of this variety is that is doesn?t have underground stem like Couch and other grass types. Therefore, it is very easy to edge.
• 50% of lawn maintenance is in the edging ? Palmetto has surface runners, enabling you to use a spade to quickly and effectively create sharp and tight edges.
• It is a slower growing form of buffalo, which means less edging and less mowing.
• Palmetto flourishes in semi-shaded areas, and can handle the increasing shade that comes about as a result of maturing gardens.

Featured Product: Empire, Zoysia japonica ?SS500?

• Empire Turf grows Australia wide and provides a lawn grass which is easy to look after. It has a relatively fine leaf which is soft to touch, excellent wear tolerance and thrives in extreme heat and humidity.
• Empire grass requires even less edging than Palmetto.

• Empire is the only turf that can work around rocks and tight bends without using garden edging.
• This grass is good in the shade and keeps a good winter colour.

• Empire Zoysia generally requires less watering and less mowing than any other commercially grown lawn in Australia.
• Empire grass can generally out-compete weeds once it has been established in your garden.
