If you know anything about gardening, you are aware that different plants thrive in different environments. There will be plants that enjoy shady conditions, while other plants need plenty of sun. Many plants need lots of water, while other plants can tolerate dry conditions for an extended period. Irrespective of how much gardening you do, you probably have a lawn on your property, and the lawn will react in a similar way to all other plants and must be well-matched to the environment. The problem for many homeowners is that a lawn needs to survive in all weather conditions. The Australian climate can be icy with extended cold periods for part of the year while being hot for the rest of the time. For a lawn to thrive, it must endure these climate variations while still retaining a healthy appearance.

A local solution

When you need a lawn that suits the local climate, the best solution is turf that has been created specifically for that climate. Buffalo turf variants are common in Australia and can grow well throughout the year. However, to identify the most suitable buffalo turf for your property, there are several things you should check.

Is it a soft-leaf buffalo turf?

A soft-leaf buffalo turf such as Sapphire buffalo turf will have been bred to be soft enough underfoot to allow children to run around barefoot. It will also have the resistance needed to let it flourish during the hottest summer when there is minimal shade available. A soft-leaf buffalo turf will have a strong resistance to disease, combined with deep roots so that it can thrive with less water than many other varieties of turf.

Does it have the right appearance?

A scrubby, weed-infested lawn does little to enhance the appearance of your property. When opting for a new buffalo turf lawn, you can create a lawn that looks great at any time of year. A soft-leaf turf, such as Sapphire buffalo turf, will be made of tightly folded leaves bending at a 90-degree angle and creating a soft yet tough lawn that is a credit to any property. One of the chief benefits of buffalo turf is that very little is required to maintain the appearance of the lawn. You won't need to regularly water the lawn, and if an extended dry period does start to take a toll on the lawn, it should recover naturally without extensive care from you.
