Many lawns quickly become worn, patchy or damaged when exposed to children playing, pets running or frequent entertaining. Not every grass variety is built to take that kind of punishment. Soft-leaf buffalo and couch varieties can hold up fine under moderate use, but for yards, school grounds, sporting areas and commercial spaces that cop constant, heavy traffic, one variety consistently comes out on top: Kikuyu grass. It is incredibly durable, fast-growing and provides the resistance and recovery necessary for years of high traffic and heavy use. At Lawn Industries, we offer high-quality Australian-grown Kikuyu turf to customers throughout NSW — see full specs and order through our Kikuyu Turf page.

Durability and Strength
If you’re looking for a lawn that can put up with the daily use it experiences from your active family, school or sports team, then Kikuyu grass is one of your best options. As Kikuyu grass grows dense, forming an aggressive rhizome root system, it is able to hold itself firmly to the soil. The Kikuyu root system means it is able to resist damage caused by pets and children much better than most other lawn varieties, and can handle foot traffic better as well.
Fast Growth and Recovery
One of the other reasons for the popularity of Kikuyu grass is its superb growth rate. Kikuyu spreads aggressively from above-ground runners and grows much faster than other, slower-growing types of turf. It starts to fill in bare spots much sooner than many lawn varieties. This quick recovery is especially important for high-use spaces where damage can’t always be prevented. Kikuyu is quick to recover even when lawn damage has occurred due to pets, sporting or regular entertaining activities, providing a long-lasting, lush, green lawn all year round. It’s nature’s repair solution, too, which minimises frequent lawn replacement or expensive repair costs.
Adaptability and Low Maintenance
Not only is Kikuyu extremely strong and resilient, but it is also highly adaptable and relatively low maintenance once it’s established. The grass can handle extreme heat in full sun and will thrive in a wide variety of soil types throughout Australia. Kikuyu is also known for being quite drought-tolerant.
