Nullarbor Couch grass is a top-tier choice for full sun areas, offering durability, rapid recovery from stress, and exceptional traffic tolerance. While it requires regular maintenance, its robust performance and versatility in both residential and commercial settings make it an excellent investment for anyone looking to create a beautiful, functional lawn.

Ideal for Full Sun Areas

Nullarbor Couch Grass is an exceptional choice for full sun areas, especially in Australian climates. Classified as a warm-season grass, it has undergone extensive research, evaluation, and trials over the past 20 years to ensure long-lasting performance under the harsh Australian sun. For optimal growth, it requires at least 5-6 hours of direct sunlight each day, making it perfect for areas exposed to full sun. If you’re seeking a grass variety better suited for shaded areas, you may want to explore options like Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo Grass. Nullarbor Couch is designed to thrive in bright, sunny spaces and is built to endure.

Hard-Wearing with High Traffic Tolerance

One of the standout features of Nullarbor Couch is its remarkable ability to withstand high foot traffic from both people and animals. This resilience makes it a top choice for both residential yards and sports landscapes, including football and cricket grounds. Whether you’re hosting family gatherings or need a durable surface for sports activities, Nullarbor Couch stands up to the wear and tear of daily use. Its rapid recovery from wear and stress ensures it maintains its lush, manicured look despite frequent activity, making it a reliable choice for busy lawns and outdoor spaces.

Maintenance Requirements

Nullarbor Couch does have higher maintenance needs compared to some other grass types, but its durability and performance justify the extra effort. During the warmer months, it’s best to mow Nullarbor Couch every 5-7 days to keep it tidy and prevent it from encroaching into areas where it’s not wanted. In winter, it enters a low-dormancy state, conserving energy and focusing on root development. This enables the grass to bounce back quickly in spring, recovering rapidly from any damage caused during the colder months.

To maintain the health and vigor of your lawn, it’s recommended to apply a Lawn Solutions Australia-approved fertilizer 2-3 times per year. This ensures a dense and vigorous turf, and Nullarbor Couch also tolerates broadleaf herbicides, which can help control unwanted weeds. Its strong horizontal leaf growth habit and low dormancy make it an excellent option for homeowners looking to maintain a healthy, thriving lawn throughout the year.

Versatility and Application

Nullarbor Couch is not only suitable for home lawns but also excels in sports and commercial landscaping projects. The dense turf it produces makes it ideal for high-traffic areas, yet it remains soft and comfortable to walk on. Its fine leaf blade and dark green colour contribute to a visually appealing lawn that enhances any outdoor space. Its adaptability to various environments and its ability to recover from stress make it a go-to option for a variety of uses, from residential yards to larger-scale landscaping projects.

10 Year Warranty

All Nullarbor Couch purchases come with a 10-year Lawn Solutions Australia Product Warranty Certificate, giving you peace of mind that you’re investing in high-quality turf that will stand the test of time.
