Deep green colour in warmer months, will go dormant in winter, however a good fertilize in Autumn will help retain more colour.

Laying instructions:

• Remove all building waste and weeds.
• Spread a free draining soil to a depth of 7-15cm (roots can penetrate much deeper) or loosen ground and mix in appropriate soil conditioners (Phone a soil supplier for more advice on this option)
• For sandy soils, simply mix in organic material and rotary hoe.
• Level the surface using a screeding board, lawn leveller or similar device.
• In hot months, moisten the soil but do not make the soil too wet. Do not lay the buffalo grass on a hot, dry day.
• Lay the Buffalo grass as soon as possible after delivery.
• On hot days, lay a section of the Buffalo grass and lightly water. Repeat until all turf is laid.
