Overview

Wintergreen grass is a robust variety of grass and is a hybrid of couch grass. The grass has a rich medium-green colour and a dense blade, making it popular for a variety of lawns. From backyards to sporting ovals, this grass provides a hardy, budget-friendly option for many projects. As you might guess from the name, Wintergreen also holds its colour well throughout the cooler months.

Wintergreen Is Suitable For Domestic Use

Wintergreen grass is suitable for domestic environments as it is soft to touch, making it suitable for children to play on.

The grass is also low-maintenance and can withstand regular mowing, making it ideal for homeowners who don’t have a lot of time or energy to dedicate to gardening and lawn maintenance.

Wintergreen Turf In A Commercial Environment

This type of grass is also suitable for commercial environments as it can handle heavy footfall due to its sturdy root system and self-repairing nature.

Wintergreen grass, for example, is a popular choice for many golf courses. It should be noted, however, that wintergreen grass thrives in the sun and will grow thinner in shady domestic or commercial gardens.

Wintergreen Grass Care & Maintenance Tips

In order to ensure your wintergreen grass grows optimally, it is recommended to use a Bentonite Clay additive. This natural additive will provide long-term benefits for the grass which will cut down the amount of lawn maintenance you need to do.

Other maintenance tips for your Wintergreen lawn:

• Ensure your lawn is in the sunlight for at least 6 hours a day.
• Although the grass is self-repairing when fully grown until the lawn has reached its full strength footfall and heavy traffic should be distributed evenly on the lawn, to avoid one area receiving too much damage.
• Mow or cut the grass at regular intervals but never remove more than one-third of grass blades during mowing sessions.
• Although wintergreen grass is drought-proof, if possible you should aim to water your lawn twice weekly.
• You may also wish to fertilise your lawn every 3 months, but this is not always necessary if your soil is already nutrient-rich.
