Hi H1 Gardening Enthusiasts!
We're in the process of building a new house in Wellard WA and need to decide on which turf type we'd like for our front and back yards. We've got approximately 250 square metres of ground to cover and need a grass type that will survive a decent amount of walking and playing since we've got 3 young kids, but is soft under foot. The yard will get plenty of sun, but we need a grass that looks green all year round and is drought tolerant with the hot Perth summers. We don't mind mowing the yard, so a fast growing grass is okay.
It seems that all the turf websites list the properties of the grass, but they all have the same properties, just in a different order, so we're totally confused.
Here's the turf types we're considering:
Wintergreen
Empire Zoysia (EZ Grass)
Kikuyu
Palmetto Soft Leaf Buffalo
Sapphire Soft Leaf Buffalo
Sir Walter Soft Leaf Buffalo
Also wanted to know the costs in the metro Perth area installed. We'd like to go to a couple turf farms, but we'd like a bit of advice before we drive way out of town.
Thanks H1ers!
