Turf Varieties

Turf is another word for lawn and grass. It is generally a space of recreational and aesthetic land that is planted with grass. This grass is then maintained consistently at a usually low height. Turf can also be known by other names like green, field or pitch, depending on the context. Having a lawn or turf that looks nice is a prized feat of some homeowners.
  1. Wintergreen Couch

    • Wintergreen couch is a versatile kind of turf that needs a full sun position. It has small leaves that are a pleasant green. It is a hard-wearing though soft surface thanks to deep-rooted rhizomes and stolens. The uses for wintergreen couch are numerous. This variety of turf can be used not only for homes' lawns, but also for golf courses or for tennis courts. Mow wintergreen couch every 10 to 14 days at a length of 10 to 15mm.

    Kikuyu

    • Kikuyu is a type of turf that is known to have a light green color. It is a grass that is most appropriate for broad acre areas. Broad acre areas are spaces such as paddocks and sporting fields. In the summer and the spring, you have to regularly mow kikuyu every 7 to 10 days. This variety of turf needs a full sun position, and it is known to take over whole gardens in a residential property.

    Conquest Couch

    • Yet another variety of turf is conquest couch, which is a common, quickly growing grass that is native to Europe. A semi-dwarf, sterile type of couch, conquest couch is appropriate for a couple of different settings. Conquest couch is appropriate for both residential houses as well as commercial sporting facilities. This is due to the fact that conquest couch features a lower thatch habit than wintergreen couch. The wear tolerance of this turf variety is very good, though it is hard to keep its color throughout the year.

    CT2 Couch

    • Featuring a fine texture, CT2 couch has heavy wear properties as well as a tolerance to herbicides, according to Jimboomba Turf. CT2 couch stands for cynodon dactylon. In winter weather that is particularly bad, this turf variety can get to be discolored, but it otherwise has a rich, dark green color. It is a turf variety that is ideal for both commercial as well as domestic lawns. This is due to both its tolerance to drought as well as hardiness.
