Delivered to the nature strip; you'll get an SMS the day before. Green through summer, green through winter TifTuf is a fine-leafed Bermuda bred for drought. It uses around 38% less water than other lawn varieties, which makes it the pick for water-restricted suburbs and for anyone who doesn't want a sprinkler running all summer. It's the same grass used on golf courses and sports fields, so it takes a hammering and repairs itself. What sets it apart in Melbourne is the winter. Most warm-season grasses go off colour once the cold sets in — TifTuf holds its colour far longer, and research has it surviving temperatures well below anything Victoria throws at it. Dense growth means it also chokes out weeds as it establishes. Browse the rest of our instant lawn varieties if you're still comparing. Want your TifTuf laid for you? We'll prepare the ground, lay your turf and leave you with a finished lawn — no hire gear, no sore back, no weekend lost to it. We come out, measure up and give you one total price covering turf, delivery and installation.

Ring us on (03) 9331 5300 — we'd rather talk you into the right one. Common questions How much watering does it actually need? Less than most. TifTuf saves around 38% on water compared to other varieties, and needs only minimal water to establish — which is what makes it the pick for water-restricted suburbs. For the first 2 to 4 weeks keep the soil under the lawn damp while the roots take. After that it copes with far longer gaps than you'd expect. Will it grow in shade? It needs about 4 hours of direct sun a day, and handles up to 50% filtered light. If your yard is shadier than that, Sir Walter Buffalo is the better choice — it goes to 75%. How does it handle cold and frost? Very well. Research has TifTuf surviving temperatures down to -20°C, so early-morning Melbourne frost is no trouble. It stays brighter through winter than most warm-season grasses, though like all of them it slows down at the coldest point and picks straight back up in spring. What soil does it need? All soil types work — clay, sand, alkaline or acidic. It performs best in well-drained soil, as most drought-tolerant grasses do. If you're not sure what you've got, ring us and we'll talk it through. How much mowing and maintenance? Medium overall — less fertiliser and less water than most lawns, but more mowing while it's growing hard. Once a week through spring and summer, sometimes twice if you're keeping it short. In the cooler months it slows right down and you'll only mow as needed. What's the best fertiliser for it? We recommend Sir Walter Fertiliser — a premium lawn fertiliser you can use to dress the lawn at the start of each season. You've picked the lawn. We'll do the rest. We come out and measure on site, then quote one price covering the ground prep, the turf, delivery and installation. Most yards are finished in a day.
